I am not sure how I was greeted before the profile was changed to force us to put in something for our names

i thought this was going to be a "how were you greeted when you first came to apolyton?" thread.

i think there were 4 accusations of being a DL and some funny navy guy started dancing

Iskandar, then you have been accepted to the community. I was never blamed to be a DL.

Have you changed your screen name lately?

No. I use this name everywhere I go. Anyway, that was almost a year ago.

I had this nick before DLs were a big deal. Also people knew me from the official SMAC forum.

And your date is from the beginning, so if while you may have a DL, it is likely that your account was the original one.

I remember being greeted by MidKnight Lament when he told me that while a few of my idea threads were good ideas, the topics were all covered before. I should go back and read some threads before I post new topics. I took it to heart and appreciated his kind tone instead of many people's "Already discussed", "Case closed", and " "

I did have a DL for a while. It was Will Moeller so no one was fooled, not that I meant to fool anyone. I just had forgotten I already had Apocalypse.

Hmmm... how was I really greeted?

At least I can't find any flaming in the first thread replied to. Governments: What do you think?. So I suppose everyone were pleased and I wasn't welcomed in a rather unpleasant way.

BTW, welcome back Apocalypse!

My first post was in AC - General / Help / Strategy, so the responses weren't too nasty. But it did bring out a few denizens of that forum who thought way too hard about weird things.

Yeah so did I. "Tim Fry". Had forgotten about tniem. When I remembered I talked to Markos and kept tniem for all eternity.

Ditto. (Except the 'TKG' part, of course)

Markos, why was it made compulsory that something be entered in those fields in the first place, since you say the content is optional?

hey the deal we signed with the feds only makes us have the name fields to be required. nothing else. so we dont have any real checks against muslim names or anything like that. in return we got the right to advertise strange health products

Oh sure . My first fields there were Solver (damn this field) and Apolyton (damn this field, too), but when I saw a greeting:
