Ok,thanks for the welcomes.
Katcal..I love your icelandic!Now,just put s in front of the k in elka and you do have "to love".I'm impressed!
And Maljonic...yes,it means the Sun,and I'm very dark haired and not at all sunny looking,my parents obviously hadn't taken a look at the kid before they decided on a name
Now,have you guys been here long?On the board? I tried to join one 2 years ago,but there was NEVER any activity there,so I wimped out. This seems pretty active though.

This message board will be 2 years old in August*. Some of us had been posting for a number years on a different board, a scary amount of years actually, but decided we'd had enough of the place, set this site up and and moved here instead.

*Actually it is two years old this month, but the full moving in ceremony with marching band didn't take place until 18th August 2005.

Cool.What I like about this one also is the fact that it seems to include so many different nationalities,the one I was on before was mainly one,i.e British(which are lovely people,by the way)

Kat, I'm impressed by your talent!

Sunna, yes, this board sees plenty of regular activity. As Mal says, we have been active as a community for years - with the oldest members having been around for about seven years, I think. We moved here so we could run the site properly, getting rid of trolls and spam and so on. And we have representation from all kinds of countries, which is great.

I had an Icelandic penfriend when I was younger, my best friend and I were both (and are still, although we've rather lost touch) mad about Iceland, he got to go there, I never have yet... Also, it runs in the family, my Dad is a big Iceland fan, and my Grandfather once decided to translate the Edda from their original version, just for fun. Yes, my family is weird, I know. How I turned out so normal, I don't know.

Shut up Garner.

  • 1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
I was chopping a lot of firewood for my house in the Colorado mountains before I went off to Iraq and needed a new email name so that has become my log on name for everything.
  • 2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
Male
  • 3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
Older than I look and am from Colorado USA
  • 4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck?
I think they'd have to go a long way to make a good movie, though I do like the Harry Potter series and consider them to be done very well.
  • 5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
I attended a production of Mort while I was in Saudi Arabia for awhile and have read every book that I could get my hands on ever since.
  • 6) what's your personal quote of the day?
Living good is the best revenge.

Edited to add the question Mal suggested[/quote]

  • 1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
  • My maiden name backwards. Always liked it so I keep using it.
  • 2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
  • Very much of the female persuasion.
  • 3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
  • Haha ... forever young in Dandenong Ranges Australia.
  • 4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)
  • Yes, nothing would please me more. Discretion would be needed in the choice of people allowed to touch it though. I think Terry Pratchett would need heavy involvement (if he could spare the tim from writing)
  • 5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
  • My brother suggested I may enjoy them...understatement.
  • 6) what's your personal quote of the day?
  • The pen is mightier than the sword...an oldie but a goldie.
