Andrew · February 17, 2008

uh? you're a born-again commie?
I'm hearing voices

Well yes, most people are not born into an ideology. ;)

Dunenewt · February 18, 2008

...when you know who the Bumbler is.

Kirby Gotenks absorbed · February 18, 2008

I'm on about on this site.

excuse me? I still don't get it, the way you jumbled up those words... it just... doesn't mean anything. Fix up the word order (no offence =3)

Dunenewt · February 18, 2008

The word order makes sense, it didn't before. You've quoted the version that makes sense.

Kirby Gotenks absorbed · February 18, 2008

I'm on about on this site does not make sense, are you saying "I'm going on ABOUT being on this site. :(

Dunenewt · February 18, 2008

What country are you from? Of course it makes sense. I'm on about being an old timer on this site.

Kirby Gotenks absorbed · February 18, 2008

I'm from South Africa, but I only speak english. The proper way of saying that would be "I'm going on about being an old timer/whatever"...

Dunenewt · February 18, 2008

Well, 'going' is often omitted in normal speak, and as the phrase is only a colloquialism, I didn't feel the need to put it.

Kirby Gotenks absorbed · February 18, 2008

Then say so.

Acriku · February 18, 2008

I even had trouble wondering what you were saying ;)

... when you can remember the mind-bending arguments of Emprworm mwahahaha

Dunenewt · February 18, 2008

...and Nav's rant against pizzas.

gunner154 · February 19, 2008

... you remember the time when many people posted with bad grammer and/or spelling.

Dunenewt · February 19, 2008

...you remember when gunner154 wasn't the only poster from Singapore.

Mahdi · February 20, 2008

...and you remember it becoming so massively huge that it crashed and over half of the responses were lost!

...you remember the official FED2k Dune 2000 clan.

...you're the subject of several of these humourous memories.

...you remember when Gob was a simple uni student and rental car renter, and not some globetrotting software dude.

...you can't believe the website is ten years already.

...you accuse FED2k of stealing your youth.

...you feel entitled to a hat that you might now actually get if you can make it to Montreal on a certain date.

...you were involved in the creation of the dungeon (and were one of the original denziens).

...you remember when the toher original denziens of the dungeon were newbies.

...you told Gob The Landsraad was a bad idea.

...you voted for the stapler.

...you had Devinoch on your ICQ list.

...you remember Gob telling everyone (or maybe just you) to upgrade to XP.

...Dunesday is the highlight of your FED2k career.

...you remember chatting with people who worked on Children of Dund in the Fed2k chatroom while it aired.

...you remember gettina banned from the Yahoo group The Landsraad because you were a regular here. And then being accused of plagarism.

...you remember the "Help buy Mahdi a new computer fund" which none of you jerks ever contributed to.

...you remember when Gob would change the site title so it would insult Mahdi in different ways.

...you remember the first Christmas when Gob and Mahdi became Bumbler and Yukon Cornelius.

...you can name everyone who's gotten engaged to Crystal.

...you were a high poster back in the days when the dune2k forum was the popular place to be!

...you remember BOP, DAF, DLA, SW, IGW, PKF, etc.

...your reading this thread made you login for the first time in a very long time to add to it.

Dunenewt · February 20, 2008

Didn't Gob crash one of his rental cars?

Well, I'm not an old timer, that's for sure... and by crystal, do you mean crystal as in an actual person or crystal from star fox?

Dunenewt · February 24, 2008

...when you remember signing this guy's guestbook.

Anathema · February 24, 2008

...when you remember signing this guy's guestbook.

Apparently I signed his guestbook but I haven't got the slightest idea who he is ???

Dunenewt · February 24, 2008

He was the guy that now has Fed2k's original Geocities address.

gunner154 · February 25, 2008

No wonder. So after we'd shifted to this site, he got that URL upon creating his homepage?

Emperor Harkonnen · February 25, 2008

nampigai · February 26, 2008

...you won a "Frank Herbert's Dune" poloshirt on OrLoK's site. Never seen it though - and now I don't really care anymore - just wanted to whine about it.

veK · February 26, 2008
