2000 AD Online Forum

Hi all

I haven?t been posting here long (Since June 10th 2003 in fact) however I?ve found that I look at the board about once an hour whilst at work.

I really enjoy the communal spirit and the obvious love we all have for Tooth and have two points to make. Firstly I was interested in getting to know more about each of the regular boarders. (In fact is there anyway that I can find out the number of regular boarders?)

I?ve been reading tooth since prog 223 and am a very frustrated art droid.

Once I?ve finished renovating my house (another two months) I fully intend to contribute some fan art. Any one got any spare scripts without an illustrator knocking around?

My favourite character is Dredd but I have a soft spot for the classic Rogue Trooper.

Secondly IMHO the most entertaining threads on the board are the suggestions to improve the Meg and Tooth, which the boarders have come up with. Without being cliquey we are the fans who have stood by the prog through thick and thin. We have seen the heights it is capable of therefore surely any idea brought up should be considered.

I was wondering how many of these or even the polls have actually been acted on/seriously considered? Or have Matt Smith/Alan Barnes/Jason Kingsley ever commentated on why they think the suggestions are a bad idea/unfeasible.

im Devons Daddy here
neil to any one who does not come here
reader since prog 1 ( through thick and thin)
chef based in singapore.

top characters. Dredd, alpha. Dante.

the polls are great fun. though i dont think they are actaully taken with anything other then a pinch of salt.
as for comments here on threads. without doubt they do filter through. not with all the bells and whistles but now and then you see something come up.many of the creative droids are regular here.
so even if its not OH YES thats a great idea.by the very fact they do read the idea is likely to seed in their minds at the very least.
 

case in piont.
teh current SD story  tax dodge. is credited to an idea by a poster on a tooth forum.
that if ever there was is proof postive.

its great here though isnt it.once an hour. i started like that as well.
but i can stop any time i want.
i just dont want to thats all.

Hiya.
To find out how many people are registered on this site, click the "Koom Skreee" bit of art at the top of the page and you'll get a big list.

I'm glad that you like the site. I've been drifting around since summer last year, but when at school (teaching, not studying!) it's hard to visit during the day when a lot seems to happen here. I've been very much enjoying the summer hols!

As for the pols, I've yet to see any official response (has anyone else?), we are a significant (but vocal) minority here - I think they look to the conventions and the letters to get a proper idea of what the majority want. I'd take notice of the polls, but I'm not sure if we represent the 'average' tooth reader. For example if it were up to the majority of boarders, SinDex would have gone ages ago.

Greetings, Rio.

I am your mighty king, overlord of the internet and ruler of the watery underworld.

You're scum.

But welcome! It's nice to have another new addition.

Don't take my benign megalomania personally. Everyone's scum but me.

- The puissant poisson

Rio - welcome to the board

you may have to run the accusatory gauntlet in the first couple of months as regulars refuse to believe you're the n'th incarnation of a troublesome ex-boarder (he who shall not be named)

once verified (and from reading posts it looks like i wasn't 'trusted' for a good 4 months or so) it's a nice place to be

yttim?

"Any one got any spare scripts without an illustrator knocking around?"

No, honestly, I AM shamless.  Oh they won't believe me.

If you want to do Art for a comic, there is Solar Wind, a spoof 70's 80's kids SF comic that always needs artists.

Cheers

Heh, heh, heh. Splendid it was, too.

Oh like you were, there having gone to bed hours before...

Besides me and the grumpy one have made up long ago.

And the next con the Trout is battered...

Hmmm... feeble threats that won't be backed up, there must be a dreddcon looming.

Ah even I know you're talking about Scojo or 2Kfan as he seems to be calling himself on the 2000adreview site.

I've heard his name mentioned several times over the months but I didn't realise what he'd done until a recent post on Gav's site.

Oh dear! What a mentalist!

His overuse of the smileys suggest a "I'm bonkers me" attitude when really he's probably a manic depressive.

But that's just my opinion.

Hi my names Richy Smith, i am a newbie to all this

Fav Characters: Mortis, Nemesis the warlock, Dredd, Durham Red

Excuse me, Gary, but there's a Trouty minion iin this pic, taken at the VERY END OF THE NIGHT at the last Dreddcon.

Are you in it? Hmmm? Hmmm?

- Trout

Arses. It's in the event photos section.

Go and see it yourself, orange-utan.

- Trout

Heh! That was mearly the pre-events drinks... the hard-core when back to the hotel...

Drinking 'till gone 6am where me and the Wyatt droid... whilst you where back in your bowl!

"Fear my Red X Legion!"

Ah, but I didn't want to be involved in anything "hard-core" going on in hotels.

Poor Rio, starts a polite little thread to try and say hello, and it gets hijacked!

Don't worry mate, it happens to us all.

I'm Rotts, been a Squaxx since 120, then aged 9.

Been around here for about a year now, got some fan strips in the appropriate section if you want to take a look.

Take PVS seriously; Solar Wind is very good.

All Hail the Trout.

Howdy Rio,

I'm James. I hang about a bit round here. I got stuff in fana rt also. I'm also a frusrtated art droid, currently doing a couple of strips for the phenominal Solar Wind, already mentioned. Get on the Cosmic Bus with me 'n Rotts and all, and show us what you're made of.

I am something fishy.  I am also a fishy overlord, though not a despot like the trout.  

I run all of the waters in the west.

I have an alter-ego called Kevin.  He is a rugby mad, tooth loving Cornishman.

I bought an x-box this week and risk no longer having a social life.

I'm Dounreay, a major nuclear installation firmly bolted to the north coast of Scotland, so I don't get out as much as I would like.

I am an experimantal fast breeder - I think the ladies know what I mean - though I haven't been able to raise my rods in a while.

In my spare time I like looking after rabbits.

Likes: neutrons, plutonium.
Dislikes: decommissioning, pesky interefering environmentalists.

 

I am Steev, 33 year old reader since prog one, owner of an almost complete set and perennially on the lookout for old, unwanted issues of Battle.

I am father to Bram Vincent Helsing, aged seven weeks today, and man to Linda, one of the UK's most glamorous elderGoths. She makes Durham Red look like Hyacinth Bucket.

I am sitting here, naked, after bathing my son, ready to go to work. I work with autistic adults and adults with learning disabilities.

My favourite series are Revere, Slaine, Sinister Dexter, Dante, Flesh, Invasion, Nemesis, Shakara, Shako and Vector 13.

I am eagrely awaiting Charley's War and loved Darkie's Mob.

I go now.

Thank you lights up

Thank you for letting me speak.

Hi I'm the sweaty one.

I too am a newbie, but don't post that often(spend a lot of time lurking though)

I only started collecting in the last couple of months, though I meant to for a while. Just recently bought 500 or so back progs off ebay and I am spending most of my time catching up!

Favourites Nemesis, ABC Warriors, classic Rogue Trooper(didn't it get poor though!?!?), Halo Jones and Bad Company.

Oh and if anyone can explain to me what the hell Slaine is about it'd be much appreciated :-).

Hi. I'm 33 & only been reading since January this year (but since caught up on a few years worth). I've been posting since then too but pretty much still a newbie as I've been away for a couple a months (and trying to avoid the boards so I could catch up spoiler free on my return back to Blighty).
As for favourites it would be Dredd & Sinister Dexter but that could change depending on what I've been missing. Not the biggest fan of Slaine but still better than most of the rubbish I read.

Hello.
rac. I've been reading since the begining, when I was a feeble eight years old. I was only sucked into the internet in January, after swearing never to go near it, then never to post on these boards... then it kind of... gets you.
Johnny Alpha is the greatest.
Bring back Luke Kirby and Big Dave.

I am no longer Steev. I am now SpookyTheCat. Just to confuse you. I will have an icon soon.

My new incarnation has reminded me to add the following to my 'favourites' list:

Halo Jones
Scarlet Traces
Big Dave
Leviathan
Luke Kirby
and Bonjo From Beyond The Stars

I'm James, born 1975, too late to have been a 2000ad fan from the beginning, started when I was six, gave up at eight, rediscovered the zarjaz at 16, never lost the habit again, though only read the comic in the shops for three years while being a dirt-poor student, currently doing office-type job, a bit of politics on the side, bit of playwriting on the side, opinionated, occasionally insufferable, married...

Writer curently for EVE AND THE UBERMEN, coming to Edinburgh next year, come and see... and while plugging, here's a link to the great Underhand Productions, who do great comedy stuff in London).  My 2000AD related sketch is in the mix to be performed there sometime about November, details forthcoming if anything is confirmed.

from the amount of posts, i sometimes think that im the token english/midlander around these here parts.....

darryl, 28, gsoh, w, m, bit of a penchant for corned beef hash, villa fan (groan) and nine inch nails lover......

Curious, I was just listening to Broken & Pretty Hate Machine this weekend... haven?t heard them before that in ages...

I'm new to the boards... mostly lurking, never posting. My first exposure to Dredd was Anthrax's "I Am The Law" around '87... I was around 14 at the time. Being from the US, I picked up Eagle's/Quality's reprints here. Stopped reading comics for several years shortly thereafter (no connection implied). Dark Horse's reprint of Dredd vs. Aliens brought me back to the fold... now I subscribe to both 2000AD and the Meg? and I'm loving every minute of it.

Im a thirty something regular on this board, who wshould really spend time doing something else.  Ive read since about prog 300 ish and rely mostly on memory as I have never kept my progs.

Oh and Im married two kids, IT professional.  You may see me at conventions buying drinks for4 others :)

Yer "damn I hate this jet lag thing" slips

++ Take PVS seriously; Solar Wind is very good. ++

Rotts is right. I finally got a copy last week(?) and I still finding myself picking it up, reading it and LOL!

Personal favourites at the moment are the Geezer Comic full page ad and Crack O'kane on the back page.

As for me I'm not a 'Bart' or even a 'Diaz'.

The original Bartholomeu Dias is a long time dead Portuguese explorer who made all his best discoveries by getting lost at sea.

Fans of NIN....I salute you!!

Hi Rio,
I'm WoD, not much else to say.  I've been reading tooth since around prog 320 and that makes me too old to care what other people think about a man reading a comic (actually I'm damn proud of what I read now-a-days, not that I ever hid the fact).

Fave characters are plentiful and too numerous to mention.

I do try and write scripts and had my first submission recently rejected, so the polite, concise and accurate letter from 'Tharg' is now added to my 2000AD paraphonalia collection.

It's a nice place to visit this (with lots of genuinely great and helpful people about), but it is way too addictive.

See you around,
WoD.

I fully intend to contribute some fan art. Any one got any spare scripts without an illustrator knocking around?

Actually I do if You'd like to give it a shot.

Link: Just waiting to be drawn

Don't listen to PHM all that much these days, but right now I'm listening to Fixed and the bonus disc that came with the live album, and the live album itself is unlucky not to get a listen every coupla days.

Trent now just needs to remove head from arse and present us with the next album. I mean,if KMFDM can manage 2 albums in 2 years, you'd think NIN could do something in twice that.

Well i've only been reading a year and a half, so i guess i'm a bit of a noob.
I recently picked up a subscription.

By day i'm an a-level student, and by night i fight crime on the mean streets of leicester, or maybe not

Word is that the first half of next year will see the new NIN studio album.......... but then again, the fragile was supposed to be out 2 years before it finally saw the light of day........

the 'best' NIn is as follows for those not in the know (who are ya!!)

Broken
Downward Spiral
Pretty Hate Machine
The Fragile
And all that could have been / still
Fixed
Further down the spiral
Things falling apart.

And then of course....
Natural Born killers,
The Crow
Tomb Raider
Young Americans
for the completists out there.....

Demos and Remixes one and two
Prick (side band)
Live at Woodstock
Purest feeling
1000 homo djs
Pigface.....

I'm a bit late with this.

I'm Eddie from Liverpool, tooth fan since 77, (minus a year or two lapse in the early 80's) mostly read it for Dredd, but love most of the output.

I'm a Civil Servant, hobbies include DJing/Cartooning/Producing my own electronica and I'm a major JAWS movie fanatic and forum moderator.

and I like to sleep but get very little :-(

Not to mention Tapeworm if that ever sees the light of day...

>>Not to mention Tapeworm if that ever sees the light of day...

I thought The Fragile was a real disappointment actually... Broken, Downward Spiral & Pretty Hate Machine are all brilliant, although I was unimpressed by Fixed & Further Down.. "pah!" I say, "pah! to remix albums"

Bit late, but:

I am Andrew, at the moment from York, soon to be of Cardiff.  At the moment unemployed, previously too many jobs to mention, soon to be a PhD student.  I've been reading 2000AD since I came back to this country (1988?), but do remember getting the odd annual for Chrimbo as an even younger juve.

Heh,

GC on Universally Challenged....
Cardiff - Contrary reading 2000ad....

Nice picture.

WoD.

Universally Challenged?  Heh!

I watched that the other week and was surprised at how easy the questions were.  Is this just the fact that Im older and know a lot more (I dont I think Im going senile) or is it getting easier, like say A levels (who my freind, a teacher, assures me arent any easier)

Isnt there a number of regular boarders from south wales, looks like it might be a welsh shedcon???

Yer Slips

Slips - I find the questions just getting harder and harder, must be the alcohol and lack of sleep destroying my brain at a good old pace quicker than I can retain new knowledge.

For the record, I'm based near Cardiff and would be up for a pint if there was a get-to-gether.

WoD.

Welsh shed? maybe start a new thread for that it might get lost here

As for the football I tend to stay well clear- the family's split right down the middle; Aston Villa / West Bromwich Albion..

So you're not the only midlander on the board SLM.

I'm a brand spankin' noob... although the first prog I read was 752, the one with the lovely datachip album... and my next prog was 1339... erm, don't really know what happened there! Anyway, glad to be back on board Tharg's Mighty Oragan, getting as much thrillpower as I can out of it!

"the 'best' NIn is as follows for those not in the know (who are ya!!)"

Also try looking for 'Beers Steers and Queers' by the Revolting Cocks.
Trent had a finger in that pie as well, and the above track is 'kin ace!!

Danny Lohner has confirmed that Nine Inch Nails have now entered the studio to start work on the eagerly awaited follow-up to Th Fragile, which came out in 1999. Danny has said that they hope to have the album out for early next year.....

guess that means early 2005 then.....

On a similar note - his work on the Underworld soundtrack is cool - a collaboration between Danny, Richard Patrick (ex NIN, filter) and Wes Borland (ex limp Bizkit)......

The countdown starts now, if i can be bothered,,,,,

i'm a civil servant who lives in Newcastle but is from Belfast, i moved over here cos the commute was terrible.

Been reading the 2000ad since 1984

Been listen to Nine inch nails since 1989/1990

I have just stumbled out of the Spaced Out website and they have a tape loop thing going on... anyone interested in starting one on this board.

I'd get the ball rolling cos i have every Nine Inch Nails song and all the cover version stuff on two Discs (plus some of the videos)...

so you too can experience the joy of sigue sigue sputniks version of Piggy and Mawxwells R'N'B version of 'Closer'
