PhantomHelix Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 as you all know, i am a member of LucasForums (duh). When i first came to the swamp and lucasforums, i just looked at the threads and thought to myself "wow, what a bunch of nerds and losers!". but i have come to realize my error since then. people who like to use the computer are frequently stereotyped as nerds and losers. and I thought this to be true in the beginning. however, as i got to kno each and every one of you, I realized that this was completely wrong. yes, we all have a passion for the computer, but none of you are nerds. when i was depressed and came close to leaving, people CARED and persuaded me out of it. when otheres were leaving, you guys CARED and hepled them with their problems, even though it didnt affect others at all. you guys have really made a difference to all the members who visit the swamp, and i want to salute you all for it. no, im not leaving or anything, i just want to say how proud i am of all of you for showing me, and others, that this stereotype is complete and utter BS. you guys are amazing.

Yeah man, well said. I thought the same, I'd never even really had contact with other 'geeks' purely for the fact that i figured the internet was 'swamped' (excuse the pun) with nerds. Yeah I admit I was wrong or perhaps I'm just becoming a nerd? NEVER!!!!! As it is I've made some damn good friends here an I've totally enjoyed my time in the swamp too! Anyways nuff said I feel a tear welling up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obi Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 You guys should have seen the cantina! The swamp can only succeed it, it can never replace it. Nothing can. It is still my birthplace on the forums, and it will always be my home. THE CANTINA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mima kake Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Well it looks to me that all the starwars forums are nice guys forums. In other words most of the gamers and star wars fans are nice guys/girls. not bad for a buch of nerds:D (sorry could'nt help this lame joke) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I'm sure it was the cantina i made a hello thread, then i asked a question and got chased away because they didn't think it would be any good I went to JPB forum but i didn't really like it, i had a dead accoutn anyway with about 10 posts.

obi Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Well I do not recall any bad times at all in the cantina. Maybe the place went to Hell when I went into exhile(and made my return here). But when I was there, Rhett and Kurgan, and Mace-Windu(God rest his soul wherever he is) where me buddies. There were oh so many I wish I could recall. But they weren't bad guys.

PhantomHelix Posted October 16, 2002 Author Share Posted October 16, 2002 well, i never was at the cantina, cause i came along after that.......so i guess im a newbie to the whole forum thing, but i think ive outgrown (somewhat) my n00b status in the swamp......but i wont officially until i graduate the academy.....

Darklighter Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 The ironic thing is Phantom is that you are my padawan, yet you joined a month before me:Dlol Well I think I am a well-known face around these parts (for good or for bad, I do not know:confused: )...I was scared of coming to the Swamp, cos things moved 100 times faster than the Skinning section (my home...I was there for 2 months before I came here)...I've grown to like all of you anyways:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
