Cheers

Right on VanderL ...
Alice (a.k.a. damienpaul) beats the hell out of everybody.
Been with us for 6 days - made 182 posts at 5-minute intervals.
This morning, for example, Alice made posts at 5.20am, 5.36am, 5.43am, 5.48am, 6.57am and 6.16am. Then a bit of a break to the dunny (ha!) then continued on.
Good on ya Alice - keep the fires burning mate! B)

Welcome Jan, and belated welcome to damienpaul.
Hope you all enjoy our forums.

Greetings. I'm laz - I'm a moderator of a discussion forum (listed in my profile - I'm not going to spam it here) and I'm practically the one in charge of all the science related topics, especially in the field of physics. I'm no know-it-all, but I do what I can to learn. I was bored at work looking for scientific explanations for paranormal sightings and it brought me to a topic here. I looked over the forum and liked what I saw, so I decided to take a ride. I've been looking for a good solid forum focused on space for quite some time. I always tend to find the ones where there are nothing but "I know more than you" people, or quite the opposite - babbling idiots who have absolutely no concept of reality. It looks as if this forum has just the right temperature. I haven't found any idiots or know-it-alls. It seems like a really relaxed environment. My kind of place.

Welcome Jan and Iazserus. I took a quick look at the forum you're moderating, and I can see what you're up against. :-)

We've only really been running for about five months now, and it's been the best group of people. Couldn't ask for better.

Chook · #**134** (**permalink**) 01-January-2004, 07:29 PM

Also a warm welcome to Jan and Iazserus.

You will find that there are some great people contributing to the forum coming from a wide spectrum of backgrounds, as well as the humerous, the very serious and the "there's one in every group" category.

We laugh, we stirr, we increase our knowledge and, overall, have fun.

My darling wife tells me I've become an addict. You might too ... B)

Hello newbies - nice to meet you

Lazserus, I love your avatar

lazserus · #**136** (**permalink**) 02-January-2004, 11:24 PM

Thanks. It's a little small to tell what it is, but it's a 3-dimentional model of the big bang.

damienpaul · #**137** (**permalink**) 03-January-2004, 06:35 AM

cool, is there a website to the image?

lazserus · #**138** (**permalink**) 03-January-2004, 05:06 PM

I had a larger image I ganked from some website some time back. I honestly don't remember the site. I was just surfing, came across it, and saved it.

#**139** (**permalink**) 03-January-2004, 07:04 PM

lazserus,
I extend my welcome as well.

There are indeed all different kinds of people here including 2 different kinds of know-it-alls.
There are couple who think they know it all, and few more who actually do. :P

But over all it's a very good forum, with intellegent down to Earth people.
Glad to have you aboard.

lazserus · #**140** (**permalink**) 03-January-2004, 07:42 PM

Thank you, thank you. I like this forum much already. It's fast paced, which gives me something to do while I'm bored at work. I've progressed from a spec of dust to a planet in just a mere 36 hours.

Sasha · #**141** (**permalink**) 04-January-2004, 12:45 AM

Hey guys~ My name is Sasha and I'm 16 years old. I feel young among you but I do have an old soul.

I was born in Moscow, Russia and moved to Kyoto, Japan and am now living in California *too hot*.

To make things nice n short n peachy for ya, I'm curious about EVERYTHING and it might sound a little dull but I basically try to understand science in every way possible. Am I successful at it? Absolutely not.

But I can try can't I? So I am here to learn about the beautiful world of Astronomy and what is has to offer me
