Refugee
We were talking about it in the room the other day. BV asked if everyone there had been chatting for at least a year now.
So it got me to wondering how long everyone's been coming here to the forum, and to chat. Of course one can easily tell by looking at your posts, but that doesnt account for lurking.
Myself, I havent been interested in the net very long at all. I found WIRE in - i think - March of 2000, posted there a bit. I noticed the chat feature on there, but never bothered to try it as the computers i use dont allow you into chat rooms.
Finally i tried it in early January 2001. I didnt even know about Interference then, found out about it, checked it out in February and joined immediately. I got my current nick a couple weeks later in March.
Odd thing, at first in chat i used the name MacPhisto. Someone said "Interesting name" And i later discovered there was,um, another MacPhisto there!
So i tried this nick. It doesnt fit, but ah well.
I didnt say hardly anything except "Lol" at first and would welcome each person as they entered the room. Too shy to just jump right in... Same with my posts. I didnt do an introduction thread, just posted short, boring replies to other peoples threads. Just sort of wormed my way through, like an insidious parasite.
And now...I am a Refugee...
Today MacPhisto's Dungeon...Tomorrow, the WORLD!

Look...look what you've done to me...You've made me poor and infamous, and I thank you...
My name is MISS MACPHISTO...I'm tired and i want to go HOME...
