Title: Your Very First Forum Post.
Post by: locustsofdeath! on 11 December, 2014, 03:25:38 PM
Out of curiosity, this morning I decided to see what my first post on the forum was:

Quote from: locustsofdeath! on 16 May, 2009, 09:02:56 PM
If you've still got those mags, I'll gladly purchase them. I'm near Cambridge, so maybe we can work out a deal. Cheers.

I came here right after I moved to England from the US with the sole intention of finding and buying as many 2000ADs as i could before I had to move back to the States. I ended up buying a full set of progs from 1-1400 after this. (and every Meg, too) And then I met many of you and became friends with many of you, and stuck around.

I'm sure there are first posts that are much more funny than mine - especially the long-timers who have since established themselves here.

So repost your first post with commentary!

My very first post from the dark times long ago of July 2013 was the obligatory welcome to the forum post!

QuoteHave been lurking for a few weeks but finally joined up. Ex loyal fan who left the flock 25 years ago but has now returned to the fold. Am now once more a regular reader of the prog and megazine and am loving it as much as I ever did. Am also taking on board all the recommendations elsewhere of the essential stories to catch up on
Cannot believe I have missed 25 years of thrills and want to catch up ASAP. Plus as I am also an aspiring art droid (aren't we all!) so look forward to getting some healthy criticism on the Creative Common board for my doodles and sketches!!  ::)

Hold on have I missed something here. How can you have the best of 2000ad and no Nemesis. Now Zenith I understand because there's some kinda rights thing going on but no Nemesis? Is there a problem or is this just a strange omission?

I was whining as normal, in reference to the then newly published 'Best of 2000ad' hardcover

As far as I can work out my first post was in a 'Who's your favourite Caballistics character?' thread -

Quote from: Dark Jimbo on 22 June, 2005, 09:19:05 PM
Ahw, poor old overlooked Professor Brand. Mabye it's the 'rupert the bear' dress sense that does it...

For what it's worth I like him, but my favourite is a tie between Ravne and Demon Jenny. (Does it annoy anyone else that Hannah gets SO much attention in the stories, usually to the detriment of the others?)

I was too scared to say an official hello, just lurked for a while to get an ear for how everyone 'spoke' then tried to pretend I'd been here all along!

I'm not convinced that what is saved here as my first post is actually my first post, since it appears to be midway through a pointless argument with Scojo. Even so, October 2001. Cheez.

Here's mine, back in 2001 (!) when I was Jayzus B. Christ with spaces.  I didn't understand internet forum etiquette and completely veered off a thread's topic to fawn over then-new writer Si Spurrier.

I don't think this is correct for me either, seems a bit of an odd post for a first in a new forum.


QuoteI was told that there was bacon.

"I'm going to my mum's for the day with the girls, there is bacon in the fridge" she said before I left for work on Sunday.

I got home after 12 hours of work spent constantly thinking about the pile of bacon sarnies I would make for my tea, to be enjoyed in an otherwise empty house, accompanied by wine and Playstation.

When I opened the fridge there was no bacon to be found. I looked again as I have a long history of not looking properly but still it evaded me. I even looked a third time, behind all the yoghurt on the top shelf, yet still there was no bacon.

The only other thing I could find to eat was a tin of Disney Princess pasta shapes, so I had that on toast.

My wife and kids returned home soon after, summoned as ever by the "on" button of my magic Playstation. I raised the issue of the Bacon only to be escorted to the fridge and shown the bacon and to be reminded by my wife that I never look properly.

I think there have been a couple of fairly major overhauls of the forum code over the years — I'm pretty sure some of the ordering may have been scrambled when the old messages were exported from one forum database and imported into another.

My 2001 posts date from the old unofficial version of this forum, with the grey background and the Kev Walker Tharg's head in the corner, whose beady eye would track your mouse pointer as you moved it around the screen...

Post by: shaolin_monkey on 11 December, 2014, 07:14:09 PM
Ha! My usual gobshite nonsense.

QuoteHowdy folks. I couldn't find an 'introductions' thread, so this'll have to do.  I'm 39, and have been a 2000AD fan since I was about 11. I used to spend hours and hours drawing and painting Dredd - my bedroom walls were festooned with my efforts.  Dillon and Bolland were my fave artists at the time. I even painted Dredd on The underside of my skateboard!  If I can dig out an old pic of it, i will post it here somewhere. I'm currently loving Henry Flints work!

Anyway, like an idiot I was influenced by a woman when in my twenties, who considered comics 'childish' so had a break from 2000AD for a bit then. My present partner is much more forgiving, being a gamer and XMen fan, but after me leaving progs on every surface she got pissed off and made me cancel my subscription.

Hurrah for digital downloads! Thanks to these I'm now back into 2000AD and loving it.  My partner is still trying to persuade me to sling the boxes of old progs on top of our wardrobe, but she's a lot happier now my new progs are limited to a folder on my PC!!!

I need to get some back progs though - I've come into the whole Chaos thing halfway through, and it looks like I need to go all the way back to PJ escaping the cubes.

Anyway, sorry for the rambling post - in a nutshell, 39, and back in the 2000AD fold!

My second ever post was quite amusing to me:
QuoteAnnouncements / Re: You be the Judge! Full Judge Dredd costumes from 2000 AD and Planet Replicas
« on: 13 May, 2012, 11:01:56 AM »
Well, my outfit is on order.  The chaps at Planet Replicas seemed very friendly, as I was confused over the belt size, and had to fire off a few emails before submitting my custom sizes.  I get the impression they are very busy - it makes me curious about the number of people ordering uniforms!

Out of interest, can I have a show of hands if you have the uniform, or have ordered one?  We could have enough for a large squad of judges!  A comics convention or other gathering where we turn up in force would be so drokking cool! 

That was obviously before I'd even heard of Senior Citizen Street Judge Burdis!!  :D

Good idea for a thread Locusts -!

My first ever when I was known as Shakara was an introductory one I think on the evening of the 22nd of June 2002 (when I was 15!!!) - a day or two later I wrote the definitive post which I'd like to think still rings true:

QuoteWhat're all u old ppl talkin about;)

SHAKARA!

...it seems I would end each post by writing "SHAKARA!" What was that about?

Cheers,

Owen.

I then ditched the forum and came back much later as CFM in 2010 and my first post was a re-introductory one that featured another statement which still rings true...

Quote"2000ad is still the most inspiring and consistently brilliant comic there is."

That may not be your first post, but I actually don't think I'd blink if that were a first post on this particular forum.  :D

Reading through a few of my older posts, for a couple of months I was pretty reserved and just getting my footing here...this is the first post I feel I came into my own:

Quote from: locustsofdeath! on 30 June, 2009, 09:23:09 PM
Emperor:

The original TMNT and ElfQuests were magazine sized, so yeah, those were probably the Cartoon Tie-Ins and Marvel Epic reprints. I prefer B&W as the first comic I really got into was the Savage Sword of Conan, but in the States it was the opposite...all the "important" comics (i.e. Marvel and DC) were in color, and only color sold. That is, until the trio of comics I mentioned. All of a sudden, B&W comics were and retailers bought everything, even junk. But it was an exciting time for a kid, walking into a comic store and searching through racks and racks of these crazy books.

I have enjoyed 2000ADs B&W strips lately - my fav being the Necrophim strip. Savage looked great, too.

Thanks for the books mentioned, fellows. I will give them a shot.

Although my opinion Necrophim changed as it went along...

Hello fellow squaxx.

I've been lurking round the board for ages so I thought it was about time I introduced myself properly. I'm always wanting to stick my oar in anyway.

I suppose I may as well tell you a bit about myself:

Started reading tooth around age 8/9. I remember the very first episode of Zenith and I think one of my earliest progs was the one with the Steve Dillon cover that featured Dredd and the Alabamma Blimps. Before that I'd read a massive pile of Titan books that my brother had borrowed off his mate.

Other than tooth stuff here's some other facts about me:

Age: 29

Wage: Shite

Favourite Book: I really getting into Modesty Blaise at the moment - best one so far is A Taste For Death.

Favourite Band: Probably The Smiths but my taste is quite diverse.

Favourite computer game: Punch-Out!

Favourite Dinner: Shepheards Pie.

Favourite TV: Recently Life On Mars, Doctor Who. My guilty pleasure is Ultimate Force - I have all the DVD's!

Ok now I've got all that out of the way I'll feel more comfortable getting my 2ps worth on some of the more meaty threads.

Cheers. James.








That was my first post from 1st April 2006.
I'm pleased to say my wages have improved (what a weird thing to write on an introductory post - I wonder why I did that) but I can't believe I was only 29 when I read all the Modesty Blaise books, I thought it was only a couple of years ago!

From December 2001 in a somewhat macabre thread arguing about which was Dredd's most serious injury and speculating about his eventual demise:

QuoteDredd's most extensive injury was falling into a river of acid and becoming the Dead Man with about 95% burns and no face!

He has also been set on fire at least twice, crucified twice, tortured by Stan Lee's girlfriend, broke a bone in his own hand in the Perp Runners story (in the Mega-Rackets) ... the list goes on and on.

But I think Judge Sadu in Judgement Day takes the record -- arm, eyes, heart and ribs all removed and he still kept going!  What a trouper!

For the record, I think only Orlok is hard enough to take Dredd.  Otherwise some kind of suicide attack is the only option.

Or what would be really odd: if the new Rico judged him...

Under a different moniker and typically about something that doesn't amount to a hill of beans:


Quote from: ESCUBRIA on 14 November, 2001, 06:01:31 AM
Remember that old Alan Grant series in megazine volume one. Does anyone have any interest in it being continued or have have any idea how it was to be continued.

It was supposed to be the start of the exploration of the origin of Dredd's world.

Surely that is still tantalising.

God help me I was such a compulsive weabo in 2010. :lol:

QuoteHello everyone.
It's nice to meet you all.
I'm guessing as this is my first thread I should probably explain my history to 200AD.
Im only 15, and last christmas I was on a coach trip with my school to London.
While at WHSmiths at one of them million or so drive-ins I picked up my second issue of SFX.
Within said magazine was an article on a rather tasty sounding super hero story called, Zenith.
I was hooked on the idea of alternative dimensions and the effects they could have on our own dimension (or vice verse) due to it's role in my faveourite scine fiction (possible favourite TV show full stop), Doctor Who.
So naturaly Zenith sounded rather appealing. I took notw of the comics title and next promptly forgote about it.
Easter this year I was farting around town on a wet, windy day. So I walked into WHSmiths to buy myself a double decker and found myself staring at a rather Jack Sparrow like charactor being lunged at by a grotesque ghost.
I was facinated by this image and purchased the comic fairly quickly (I was in such a rush to get to the content I forgot to buy my double decker!).
So there I was, sitting under the cannopy of the bus terminal, flipping from mega city mutents to a rather attractive picture of two Tyrannosaurs clashing (The young paleontologist inside me was screaming with joy).
However I was rather perplexted. I was faced with a Judge Dredd story that only featured Judge Dredd in three panels, a rather conffusing scenario of cowboys hunting Dinosaurs (Jurrasic park I kid you not!) and a wordless story about a bunch of COD geeks killing some Jewish look alikes.
However, the end of Spartacus Dandridge promised to be replaced by a double bill of some bloke called 'Nickoli Dante'..........Suffice to say I picked up the next issue to see what would come of it, and 18 progs, 4 megazines, and 5 graphic novels (OK OK, 4 of them are floppies :-\) later im still in love with all these new concepts. :lol:
So here I am.
Im looking forward to staying here, you all seem like a pleasent lot........... ;)

P.S. A comment at Everything Comes Back To 2000AD rather frequently under the name of Zach Hawkins, im tolled some memmbers frequent here to. Just saying hi. :)

Post by: Mardroid on 14 December, 2014, 02:36:45 PM
This is the first post that shows up on my list of posts, although I don't think it was my first:

QuoteNames don't bother me that much. I sometimes think they're silly, even bad, but they don't spoil the story for me.

I never quite got how Rogues pals just happened to have the right names for the chip places they were going to go. Then again they have the chip from the start, so I guess it could be argued they were designed for designated places from the get go.

Come to think of it, it's kinda that the trooper who ended up going rogue had that name too innit? Forgetting where his chip would end up I mean.

(This is pure speculation though. My only experience with Rogue has been the computer game, and a couple of small comics, 1 being a the P J Holden gag strip above. I wonder what special services BUTTPLUG gives? Probably best not to think)

I think my first, or at least near first (possibly under the name of 'Mardredd' although I don't know how to check posts under that name) was actually responding to a post from Peter Wolf about supernatural stuff and I made reference to dangers of opening oneself to demonic possession. Someone got offended and got rather cross with me assuming I was disregarding the reality of mental health issues and 'living in the dark ages'. (Incidentally, I still have reason to believe both are real, but maybe I should have been more careful with my posting.)

I was a bit sore about it being my first post, and all, but I'm glad I stuck around as you by large seem a nice bunch. Including the chap who had a go at me. (I forget who it was but I think he is still here.)

In my search of earlier posts I came across this one. It was responding to the idea of Hugh Grant playing Johnny Alpha in a movie. Slightly shocked at what a dirty boy I can be sometimes, hee hee.

QuoteThat'd be the curly hair.

Could you imagine that though. "Huh ya right. I'm gonna totally pop those rascals, get loads of dosh and have a Devine time."

"Ho no Red, keep those fangs sheethed, whilst your down there.". (Possibly went to far there..)

(Imagine with posh accent to get the gist. Quite poor actually.)

These posts were from around 2008. I appear to have actually joined in 2007 though.

Did anyone ever get hold of the figures Mattel released after the Dedd movie? Ive only seen pictures of them. They had a few good characters including the comic version of Dredd, Death, Mean Machine and various other characters from the comics. Just wondering if anyone actually owns any of them?

This one is mine it would seem (don't think I ever introduced myself here properly just got stuck in). Its about toys/ models which doesn't surprise me.

I was Judge Fett then too. Only switched allegiance to Judda the past couple of years due to the weight of Judges that seemingly flooded the board. I've only ever had this avatar also. How many of you can remember all your names and avatars?*


* Good luck Sauchie/ Bikini/ State if you attempt to answer that!

The earliest one I can find is October 2003, but I don't feel it's the earliest post I made.

Anyway it's quite rude about a 2000ad artist - it was a different board back then - so I won't repost it.

The earliest memory of this place i have is me being a minor troll taking advantage of a new anonymity on the net... and 'cos I was a bit of a dick.

How times change.

QuoteI don't want to rain on anybodys parade but the Button Man collection has a number one on it's spine too and where are the two sequels to that story?

I think this is correctly my first post, from the Pimping the Trades: Carver Hale/Lobster Random thread (http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,14013.msg229211.html), from 01/06/2005, which included the hopeful plea from The Amstor Computer:

QuoteFinally, the "01" on the spine indicates that we might see more Lob collections, and that can only be a good thing: roll on Lobster Random Vol. 2: Tooth and Claw!

May 2009 for me talking about the haunting of sector house 9 and delurking at the same time.

Quote from: Minkyboy on 13 May, 2009, 09:19:42 PM
...that was my first experience of Dredd, when as an impressionable 9 year old my dad bought me my first 2000AD.
Shortly afterwards Dekker became one of my heroes and she still is, despite the tragic waste of killing her off in the sub-standard Judgement Day, at least she died stoically, with her boots on like a good Judge should.

Tooth has had me in it's grip ever since. I redecorated my ceiling with prog covers 380-500 as a kid (ouch), infected my uni mates with my addiction, stopped reading for that bit in the 90's and have had a sub for the last 4 years or so. I was even tempted by the freebies and subscribed to the Meg this year for the first time too.

I've been lurking here for years, since the days before DD went walkabout, when Bou and Trout were in their rampant prime and all was young and fresh with the world. Don't know what is making me come out really. The new board is if anything even friendlier, lots of new blood being welcomed and I have the shared issues of a common age, young kids, cynicism and a love of 2000AD.

Oh and I know about naked Sundays. And your cheeseburgers are in the post Godpleton.

Got to agree.  It is a cracking prog.

I have only recently returned to 2000AD and am pleased to see it has grown up more than i have in the last 10 years.  Powerful stuff.

The joy of not watching much TV is that one doesn't see much o' this shit.
and when I do have to watch 'em I use the mute button, which makes them so much better, you can even play the 'what the feck is that advert for?' game, which is nice

There are two things wrong with Mr Huff's post there. Firstly and probably most importantly you've changed your picture. DEAR GOD I fear change at the best of times but this is too much.

Secondly I now know you are called Martin (or at least I'm assuming that is what Marty is short for). You shouldn't be a Martin (or Marty) that doesn't feel right to me.

Can you take it all back...

... no, why would that be self important, rude and selfish I think its surely something we can all agree on?

i'm not sure if this has been already covered, but reaction figurES are no longer making them... the contract runs out in about 8 months (i think) and that's why all the promised abc warriors, etc have not been released.. because they were a bit of a failure(some of the figures were a bit patchy as well)

13 years ago..

and i'm still waiting for affordable action figures :)

Well what is your last post? Your most recent one, which in your case is (at the mo) the one above, and mine is this one. What would be the point?

Richmond spirits them away to his lair, where he likes to taste each one, every night, just before bed.  He says they taste like tears.  He says they taste sweet.

Do they still stand around and drink a couple of bottles of boarders tears at the yearly meeting? Z
