Default Person Above You: "Houston, we are go for launch!"
ok, this is a thread thing i do on another message board im part of. Its called "Person above you".

Heres how it goes.


First, the thread is started, adn the first person who replies puts three of these: ^. at the top of their message, and underneath, they say something about me. and then the second person does the same, but says something about the first person who responded, and so on and so on. So the first post might go something like this:

^^^
Is named Vega.

Thats the basic jist of it. Its really a type of thread that allows us to get to know each other better (seeing as were constantly getting newbies) Also, to save people from going through hundreds of pages of posts, im saying that once the thread hits 350 replies, the second Person Above You thread is started (P.A.Y II).

So, i guess thats it...and off we go!

Has a location I can't read. :-)

Edit, I KNOW what it is, it's the coordinates to find the star Vega. I just can't read it. :-)

Lives in a city who would be called "Bad" in German. And "bathing" is "Baden". ;-)
