Hello, again

[BetaMan]

Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this is necessary but here you go.

I joined these forums when the Windows 7 beta came out, I was probably the user with the most posts and thanks for at least a month or two. Then something happened (not sure what!) and I just stopped coming here. I miss it. These forums are really awesome; the people and community are the best. So I'm making this post as I hope to become active again and be a part of this amazing Windows 7 community.

It would be a pleasure to have you back regular again.

You was one of my first buddies here on the forum.

It must be ESP Betaman!!
I was looking for another member in the members lisy, and saw your name there. I though it odd that, with a post count near the top, you had vanished. But anyway, welcome back.

PS. after your name in the members list, it says, for your "rank",
Official G33k. What is that?

 

[Veedaz]

Welcome back, BetaMan

G33k = Geek

 

[Kalario]

Welcome back...btw your avatar is cool !!

 

[Ian]

Good to see you again Betaman

 

[Nibiru2012]

Always liked your avatar!

One question, in the early days were you Alpha Man? LOL

 

[catilley1092]

Welcome back...btw your avatar is cool !!

Yeah, cool as in cool of the 70's. I used to have T-shirt's that had designs similar to that. Kalario, you must have been a teen in the 70's, too. For me, those were the "good old days".

 

[BetaMan]

Wow you guys!!! Thank you so much! And about the "Official G33k" status...

Go to User CP> Edit Your Details> Custom User Title

Thanks again guys!

 

[davehc]

AH. Thanks Betaman. I am guilty of being lazy. After initially joining any site, I rarely bother to customise the CP, except to remove the avatars and signatures..

 

[BetaMan]

Noooo problem. I was here when VIP came out.

 

[clifford_cooley]

I was here when VIP came out.

Those were the days. :lol:
I was still still behind you on post count at that time.

 

[Kalario]

I was ....how did you know?

ahhh the 'good old days' !!

 

[catilley1092]

Yes, those were the "good old days". I suspected you were by your avatar. That style was popular then. In so many ways, those were good days, and I have fond memories of them. We (or I) didn't have internet then, I didn't even have a car, but a moped to get around on. I flipped burgers and emptied trash cans for $2.10 an hour at that time. Wouldn't take it for anything in the world. It was a good time in my 47 years here that will never be forgotten.

 

[Kalario]

Internet back then???? LOL

I remember the 256MB hard drive was the size of a motorcycle tire.

Is that what hard drives really looked like in those days? And a 256MB at that?
