It is always good to see new faces popping up. Now that you have properly intruduced yourselves, please take off your raincoat/cape/poncho/glamrock jacket/burberry/<insert appropriate attire here>, have a seat, pull up a thread of your liking and enjoy.

What you want to do is go to the "edit avatar" option in your user control panel. Your profile picture is visible when someone visits your profile, but it's not your avatar.
 
Hello again...

I’m not new, but I have been away long enough to “sign back in”...

In case anyone was curious, which I doubt...

I was last active participating in a UFO thread and the AA thread. I had to spend a bit of time without a computer, then without the interwebs, then got busy with other sites and activities. I have popped on regularly but wasn’t getting the urge to chime in very often.

All it takes is a couple days of heavy lurking and what do you know? The urge is on. I watched the Barry Beach episode of Dateline and had to come on and speak again. I’ll try not to be a dink and pull my weight a bit more wherever it seems to make sense. I missed this joint. I know because I’m tickled octarine as I type... Thanks for having me.

Oh, and a welcome to all other newbies. ☻☺☻
 
Hi Maurice,

Great to have you back. So you had to survive without a computer and teh interwebz, :eek: That must have been hard. Ease yourself in gently, do not overendulge on your first day back on your keyboard.

Welcome flashy dan. I also live in NY, though my real name happens to be Dan. While I have spent some time in Florida I haven't been convicted in to Montana or Vermont yet.


Welcome everyone.
 
Thanks a lot, Femke.

I must say that not having a computer, or not having a reliable connection at home doesn't account for the length of my absence. I felt I was banging my head on a brick wall at the UFO and AA threads, so when I got connected again, I didn't have the motivation to participate. I feel better now.

I also learned so much from lurking in this parts that I owe a bit of contribution whenever possible.

Seems like in the meantime I also lost the only person who was an official "friend" on this forum, due to the relatively questionable, though eventually inevitable banning of Marduk the wise.

Great to be back, I already posted a bit, but I'm taking it easy, as you suggest. Thanks again.

Welcome ABC10 (ABC was always channel 4 on my TV). Glad the forum has taken your interest, as it did mine (I'ed never been given to internet forums until I found this one). Glad to have you and perhaps have at you in some discussions.


Welcome everyone.
 
Greetings and salutation fellow forum members, I have been avid lurker since Randi visited my brothers university here in Finland and the fact I've been targeted by money grubbing homepaths ever since I got this rare disabling neurological disease.(PM me if you want to know more)

This isn't the thing that convinced me to join, I actually made a toast and noticed Randi's image on it beard and all I laughed and promptly ate it and took this divine message to heart.

and as a side note i am a apatheist and take everything on the internet with a grain of salt. Being hardened skeptic and all.

If that does not convince anyone, what would? :)

Ah, you'll fit right in. But, as an avid lurker you'd know that already.
 
Hey Everyone,

I'm new as well, and my name actually is Kasey Gardner so deal with that SOPA/PIPA. Based in the bay area, in charge of teaching college students.

I'm the professor that counterbalances the radical marxists on the faculty, as much I a adore that in people.

Big fan of the skeptics society down at Pasadena and their events at Cal Tech. Seeing Peter Diamandis there was awesome.

Welcome to the forum.
 
Hello

Hello everyone,

I am new here. It's been a while since I have posted on a forum. I'm a science teacher (biology and chemistry) and skeptical podcast enthusiast.

I started following the skeptical movement after finding the SGU and learning about Randi.

Love paranormal phenomenon (don't believe much of it) but like hearing the history of it. I have a passing interest in magic.

Looking forward to learning a lot. Hope to incorporate some new ideas in my classroom as well.
 
Newbie

Hi, everybody.
I just joined the forum and hope to learn a lot. I live in Pretoria, South Africa. I'm also a de-convert, becoming a skeptic when religion didn't work for me anymore.

Regards:D
