I still insist that the greatest websites had no need of message boards (www.segasonic.net etc), but there was a small demand, and Rob wanted to, so yeah. We'll see.
Wee, testing quote tag ;p
Well, to be honest, I don't really know if we need it yet, either. Just a service to provide, give it a couple weeks, see if it catches on. It'll probably best work if we start making things worth talking about particuarly
Also segasonic.net was a completely different type of site, and therefore it's very true that great websites don't need a forum, especially if their design absolutely doesn't call for one.
I dunno, they might just post site complaints, tech issues, maybe gripe about your latest editorial writing, or maybe just a random EH question. I don't really know if it'll spawn "community" or not. Of course, word-of-mouth is always the hope.
If it's as completely useless as that stupid "hello" script I had about a month ago, then just like it it will be removed.
And now, to keep theme...
Name: Robert Andrew Showalter.
Age: 19.
Sex: Male.
Location: Pittsburgh, PA, USA.
Personality:
Usually interested in really geeky things. El-Hazard being no exception.
Although usually quiet and well mannered, I also tend to be a control freak sometimes (Jinnai agreement). I.E. If things aren't going my way in something I'm involved with, then they should be. (Had a rather recent run-in of such at college with the lead controller lady of the tech computer department machines ... didn't believe my obvious security hole in the system I was pointing out)
Hobbies and interests: I go off and on most things except El-Hazard. Sometimes I'm a programmer, other times I'm a network engineer. Most of the time it's something technical.
Favourite Movie: Back to the Future still holds me too.
Animé that you've seen: The first one I saw long ago was Sailor Moon with my sister in the morning... the crappy TV censorized version, mind you. Next was Pokemon so very long ago... then finally I started seeing more serious stuff, I believe that started with "The Irresponsible Captain Tylor." Apparently my sister had downloaded an episode somewhere and that took her to buy the whole series. (Very good anime, though.) The very fact that the characters were allowed to curse and that there were sexual implications finally showed me non-TV anime could be a whole lot better then just some kiddie show. Then I saw various things that she brought home, such as bits of Gundam Wing and dead series like Elf Princess Rane. (Somewhere at college she had been converted into an anime nut and it rubbed off a little bit during her summer break.) And blah blah came El-Hazard
(too much a novel here)
Religion: Born into a Christian family anyway
How did you find El-Hazard online?:
Saw Rob at the Moogle Cavern quoting Jinnai incorrectly, set him straight and then we started talking. Talk led to the idea of something El-Hazard-y together. This lead to the site. Bingo.
I now present the fun factoid images:
Neil:
"It's LORD God Jinnai! That's how Kalia could call him LGJ. It's War God if you're a Wanderers guy or something..." (I'm not sure where the end part came from myself
)
Can't YOU smell the friendship?
Misc: Apparently I'm Fatora's secret lover.
