Hey @zephyr how’d you get your screen name?

[SCJedi]

I got my latest username (circa 2014-ish) from the time I spent as a weed Jedi in the Santa Cruz mountains.

Prior to that, it was my birth name

[amumayuk]

i used to work in construction in nunavut and while working there i tried to learn Inuktitut
i did learn few words but i wont be able to hold a conversation but i could sometimes decipher what they would talk about
amumayuk means clam

[Indicana_Jones]

I really like Indiana Jones. Even the crystal skull one. I really like indicas, hence the play on the name. I’m also originally from Indiana. All the pieces just came together in a moment of genius.

Just a random pick, I’m new here and trying to figure out why I can reply here but not other places?

[Dirt_Wizard]

I grow in dirt, and I am a wizard.

[Foreigner]

Oh I see I thought you were a wizard MADE of dirt. My mistake

I like the googly eyed wizard pic.

I pull silly wizard images off the internet for this but the source for the blocky rag doll wizard actually looks like a fun game:

Totally Accurate Battle Simulator

[THCeed]

That looks like a young Carl Sagan

[Foreigner]

There’s no dirt on stars man, it’s too hot.

I’m a wizard made of hydroton pellets.

I believe it is Sagan.

[Dirt_Wizard]

It is indeed Big Carl, from an old BBC interview around the Big Blue Dot era:

Welcome to the OG @RiverCityRando !

When you get a chance please make you way over to and introduce yourself.

Introduce Yourself @OG (Part 2)

I think it may be good idea to start this Introduction topic for current and new members, so we can get to know each other … I’ll point out new members to this thread. If you are new member just click “Reply” and composer window will appear. Please if you had account on OG1.0 be sure to participate in old school members guestbook. Previous discussions: Introduce yourself @OG Vol. 1 (2017 - 2020) Introduce Yourself @OG (Part 1) (2020 - 4/2022)

As you are relatively new some functions are limited.
I have a link below that explains trust level/ User levels a little better

Explaining user trust levels and permissions

I’ve created this handy overview of user permissions. Basically all users after registration start on trust level 0 (New User) and their trust level is increased with their participation (by visiting, reading and posting). One exemption is Leader (tl4) which is promoted by admin manually. Want an illustration? [image] Visitor → Novice → Regular → Leader → Elder Seems like great starting point for our user trust system, though we changed a few names. So in our case it is as follows: 0 (New) →…

Drop some pics and a little bit about yourself in the Intro thread.

Look forward to seeing you in the Introduce yourself thread.
