Title: WOW - we're all getting old!
Post by: Stealth on February 23, 2007, 07:02:00 pm
I was going through a copy of my hard drive in 2001, and looking through some of the old pictures in "My Briefcase" and such.

Anyone remember this?

Damnit, even I'm stuck on two of them. That said, I'm honored to be amongst that cast - albeit as an older alter ego!

Was GriffonUK VBB or was he around at HLP?

Nope, not a clue.  Don't know any of them :)

I think I know a couple. Icefire is kinda obvious.

Post by: Rictor on February 23, 2007, 08:41:37 pm
I'm ashamed to say that I'm stumped for most of them. The obvious ones are Thunder, Icefire and Setekh. I'm guessing the fox is/isn't Turnsky? And the first one is/isn't CP? And the dude with the musket is/isn't daveb? And the griffon is probably GriffonUK?

who's the potato? CP? What?

Haha, that is old...I only recognize a few of those. :D Neat to see it again though.

The wolf is obviously Wildwolf.
Title: Re: WOW - we're all getting old!
Post by: redsniper on February 23, 2007, 10:38:06 pm
All I recognize are Thundifereth, Icefire, and Setekh. I'm like a veteran newbie. :p

Nah, I doubt I'm on there. Although come to think of it, I have no idea who that is.

The others are Thunder (Kalfireth), Shrike, WildWolf (who had joined Volition at that point), Icefire, Hunter (of Sectorgame), GriffonUK and Setekh.

Post by: Nuke on February 25, 2007, 02:06:49 am
ive been around for awhile, but during the early days of hlp i was on the vbb instead, followed by a lengthy time of not much internet access.
Title: Re: WOW - we're all getting old!
Post by: CP5670 on February 25, 2007, 02:35:01 am
I was over there for years too. I would have joined HLP earlier if anyone had known that the place was going to die. :p

Any guesses for the first guy? I have absolutely no clue who that could be.

Here's a clue (my guess) "SERIOUSLY!" though it looks nothing like his avatar now...

 :D am I right?


[Edit]: (I had to look at this thread again to figure what the heck I had responded with and what we were talkign about...) Senility strikes at 36 & 1/2!!!   :lol:

I don't think he had joined the VBB yet. This thing is really old. :D

The only other candidate I can think of is Plasma, although I can't imagine why he would have a calculator and a pencil.

Post by: Stealth on February 26, 2007, 09:26:58 am
oh speaking of plasma... i'm trying frantically to dig up "Plasma's rainbow colored hair"

:(

The spud's not Maeg is it? You know, being Irish and all... I picked all the others.

Frankly, I'm surprised this was even during your time Stealth. I thought you joined post HLP?

[EDIT]Wait - it's not a spud - it's an asteroid, specifically, phobos.

naaa i didn't join HLP when it was created because i didn't like it... i thought it was just another freespace-community-spin-off, so i kept hanging around VBB till the day it died (was a member of VBB for AGES)... THEN i joined HLP.  i was also a member of VWatch, but mainly just a lurker, till i actually started working there... then i started posting too

Post by: Corsair on February 26, 2007, 10:18:24 pm
mmmm... I remember that from like right when I first joined up. I think. Or maybe I remember it from somebody reposting it afterwards? Who knows... yeah, we sure are old. I joined up here back in the waning days of middle school... now I'm a college student? Crazy, man.
Title: Re: WOW - we're all getting old!
Post by: Sandwich on March 03, 2007, 05:05:32 pm
I remember seeing that, but I can't figure out who the first guy is either.
