Pictures of the gang

Tuesday, January 22, 2002 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I found this site that has pictures of many of the regulars in the skin community:

What a cool idea (whoever's it was). Putting a name to a face is really cool.

Here's a recent (yesterday) picture of me in case someone's curious what I look like.

Gammal007 - Definetly attractive....
pictureland is a very strange place, every time I go there I am totally stunned at how people look, you would never expect it.

I guess in some ways we know how true the statement is. He was always such a nice boy, and a good neighbor, kept to himself and never bothered anyone.

Just shows how appearances are never how we expect them.

hang on, this site has hundreds of thousands of visitors, and (it seems) about 50 active people in the message boards. does this mean that we are surrounded by thousands of axe murders each?

feline runs of to cuddle some axe murders till they are no more

Ofcourse, there's not much fun in murdering an axe. I did however murder my bread this lunch, so that makes me a bread-murderer.

craeonics is corrupted with feline logic

If you will keep a lime green, plastic flamingo in your kitchen, you won't have any elephants, dancing on your bread.

In the old days we used to have BBSes and every year the local boards would throw a party at the park where all the regulars could get together and meet each other. It was always a strange thing, putting a real face to the handle.

I always imagine people looking different. Kind of interesting that the comments on me have tended to be that they imagined me older, fatter, and uglier. I fear that speaks poorly of my on-line persona.

But seriously, our virtual self really often is different than how we are in "real life". I feel like I "know" Paxx and Treetog and Alexandrie and many of the rest of you as well as I know anyone. Yet I've never actually met any of you let alone seen you really other than these pictures.

I miss some of the people on those pages who haven't been around much lately, like China and Fear of Fours, and Tananda, etc.

Heck, even Elfkura only shows up on occasion to tell us that she's been gone. And the picture of Kenray is..interesting. Which one is Chichigirl?

feline needs a bigger car
there isnt room in my current car for one. it is a testiment to the evil cunning of these hefalumps that they can manage to dance on my dinner even when it is hidden in the car next to me

Frogboy - Kind of interesting that the comments on me have tended to be that they imagined me older, fatter, and uglier. I fear that speaks poorly of my on-line persona.

why?
look at it this way, people thought enough of you to think about what you actually looked like. surely better than being ignored?

or to aproach from another side, you speak as an older male, and given the "social" image of the "average" internet adict, what other basic template do people have to work from?

personally this is one thing i *like* about this (and other places) on the net. people only see your words, so arent distracted by your body or fashon sence (more a lack of one on my part really).

Frogboy - But seriously, our virtual self really often is different than how we are in "real life".

of course "we seem" different on line, since you are much free'er to be your self, without all the issues of presumption based on what you look / seem like.

also, you get to start with a clean slate. by the time you have become an adult, a lot of the people you meet aready think they know lots about you. combined with your "reputation" this provides a social straighjacket that you are supposed to exist within.

after all, half the threads here go completely off the wall, but if you make loads of off the wall comments in "real life" people think you are strange, and thus social preasure works to surpress that side of you. where as here people actively encourage it, and do their best to help out


Frogboy - I feel like I "know" Paxx and Treetog and Alexandrie and many of the rest of you as well as I know anyone. Yet I've never actually met any of you let alone seen you really other than these pictures.

feline goes back to groping confused in the dark
i thought that Alexandrie worked for Stardock.
perhaps foolishly i concluded from this that she worked at the same office as you did, so you would see her.
feline begins to wonder
you dont spend all your time in your office, so never actually see the other people in the flesh do you? there are still people where i work i dont recognise, but then, i have only been here 4 years, and there are *loads* of them, at least 40!

Frogboy - I miss some of the people on those pages who haven't been around much lately, like China and Fear of Fours, and Tananda, etc.

so true
perhaps we should send out a search party? better attach a long rope to them first though, otherwise they might not return either
