maybe you should keep it in order: nicks on one side (right let's say), names on the other one :blink:

I guess I didn't pay enough attention (edited it now).

Hmm, now if maybe we could attach some faces to the names as well?

I'm already working on adding my photo...

Seb, mine is Freyja, not Freya ;)

Stebbi is Stefán, Gorkur is Bragi.
And I guess Sean is Sean?

Go ahead add me.

Mr.Snuggles - William

maybe we shouldn't add other's names, you never know if they want it...

WaAn - Maciej

You know my first name at least, Seb.

Erik

Well I remembered Bragi from the Lemon 64 forum (that's where I got the idea for the real names).

I guess Sean is Magic's real name (that's why he changed it), will wait a bit before adding it.

Well, my name is pretty much the same as my nick: Andy, which is short for Andreas.

So: Andreas.


You want a photo with that, too? ^_^

Yeah, that would be nice I guess (having Abandonia "mug shots").

:bye: iam Roman, nice to meet you

Didn't we already have this? :blink: (okay, without the photos, but we had a thread about that as well just recently... :bleh: )

You're NOT PAYING ATTENTION, SEB!!! http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1.../arsespank.gif :bleh:

what does your real name is is not what is your real name topic
maybe some users dont know what does they names mean and they want otherones to know their real names?

maybe we shouldn't add other's names, you never know if they want it... [/b][/quote]
Yeah that's a good point :)

Gorkur, please don't slaughter me in my sleep!
But Stebbi can only mean Stefán ;)

I am - we haven't had this before...

Wee, it's me. Best pic I had on my comp and I don't have a cam around right now.

Sorry I'm not smiling on the pic :bleh:

Great, I'll start adding pictures as soon as they come in (need to make a decent one of myself and Rainwife as well).

what does your real name is is not what is your real name topic
maybe some users dont know what does they names mean and they want otherones to know their real names? [/b][/quote]
True. But still many gave their real names- so it's a source of information, if nothing else. So I won't tell you my name again- it is unfitting for the 'ruler of the world' to repeat himself :D

I don't think imaginary worlds count :whistle:

As soon as this got some names and pics, someone should sticky this thing :whistle:

So.. yeah.. me. Pic. Freyja.

TheVoid took the pic.

Ooh. Venice.

(right?)

Dammit, I deleted the pic of me I had on this pc.. need to go hunting for another..

Yes.

Woo.

*Continues picture hunting*

Well, you asked for it :P
Believe it or not, but it's one of my better pictures LOL

http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/4...turenew0mg.jpg

I'm still looking for a relatively new pic of me and Rainwife (will add them soon).

I'd like to thank the rest of you for posting this so fast. :ok:

It does resemble your profile picture.. slightly..

The hair, man! the HAIR!

Oh, wait. *remembers own hair problems*

So Danny, can you make this one stick?

Gotta love being left out.. a whole year and not even noticed. Honestly, I feel like crying.

My real name is Magic, of course :bleh:

Edit: Oh wait, Puffin loves me and she's been around least. Shame on you all :P

I was waiting for you to confirm it...

You can cut my picture out of the meeting if you want to/have time to :)

Name's Dave, please ta' meetcha.

I'm gonna have to talk to certain admins about pinning powers.

Mwhahahaha! Wow, it really is great being able to pin things :whistle:

i have a photo

http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/9589/face0jh.jpg

Hey, how can this thread start at 10 pm and one hour and a half later has already 3 pages? You guys are really writting fast, I can't keep your pace :crazy:

Ok, so here's my real name, Fernando
and, I can add a picture too (my best one - please don't be scared guys and girls :whistle: )

EDIT: Image removed due to limitations on the global size of my attachments... besides everybody can check my picture at the set prepared by Swiss

dont worry, your photos cool :ok:
but, did you know some people in the world have 6pm or 3pm for example?

Shrek, were you in Kraftwerk? There's a hint of Johnny rotten about Don Andy too.
I, like Tom, am called ... Tom, if anyone's interested (not quite the great sorcerer Tim, but fairly close :))

According to my baptismal certificate, my name is Richard. Not that this surprises me, but my brother, whom everyone called Tom, was shocked to discover, when he looked at his birth certificate to apply for his drivers' license, that his first name was Bruce.

It amused me to learn that Richard is an old english word for tyrant, or harsh ruler.

More likely, it means brave/hard leader with reference to strength rather than brutality and it's Germanic, not English.

My name is Andrew. I won't add a picture because I don't have any!

Don't EVER call me Raphael. I hate it when people do that. My name's Raf. Officially. It's even in my underpa... ahh, no. Got no name in there. Anyways, I don't like being called Raphael. Either use Raf, Kon, Tiki, Kon-Tiki, Rafbo, Straffe or a new nickname, but not Raphael. I don't respond to that one, anyways.

Amanda .. Means :worthy to be loved

Can't give the name, because of security reasons.

ill try to get a pic soon. but i reckon i look a tiny bit like billy idol, so think blonde :D

LOL What, the government is already on your tail?

I've got better pictures of me...hidden somewhere, but at least this is a recent one (only 2 or 3 months old ^_^ )

Great!

We've got 51 real names and 10 photos so far. Keep 'em coming!

@Anubis - I asumed you'd say something like that, that's why I didn't post it (I'm guessing the one you sent with your e-mail was your real name).

you all already know my name

Why is Kon-Tiki in twice?

Because I simply added it and forgot to erase the Raphael (his name is Raf - officially, and I've overlooked that fact). :bleh:

well, it's allready on the crew page, but hey...

Reup = Ruben Steins
http://www.rubensteins.nl/screens/photo.jpg

:tnx:

Yes, my email name is my real name.

@others - I'm sorry, but because sometimes I post from work, I have to keep it secret.

Or should I say:

My name is Bond, James Bond. B) LOL :roflol:

OK, I'm adding it...

Anubis a.k.a. Bond, James Bond - doesn't wish to give his real name, so his boss at work wouldn't know he's a lazy SOB who doesn't work, but surfs the net insted.

BTW, great topic.

I would post my image, but as my head is way to big for 800x600 pix, I have to pass that too. :D

My real name is Jesse Ojala.

Here's my picture:
http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/30/chosen2gx.png

Hi my name is Ryan. :cheers:

Picture: Check profile (you lazy person!)

My real name is Alessandro.

Hallo :bye:

yes my real name is Bruno, and here is my ugly picture.... :cheers:

More likely, it means brave/hard leader with reference to strength rather than brutality and it's Germanic, not English.

My name is Andrew. I won't add a picture because I don't have any! [/b][/quote]
No, its old english. It may have a common root with a similar german word, but it is english.

English is like that. A friend of mine, James Nichols (not famous, but you might have heard of him), once commented:

People who go on about the purity of the english language amuse me. English has the purity of a cribhouse lady. It does not just borrow words, it lures weaker languages into back alleys, and then rolls them for any spare words in their pockets.

here's an ugly pic of me...the ony one i have at the time

name - Henning

EDIT: Sorry, didn't know it was this huge.

Annoying question: what, can't look up people by clicking "Members"??? :blink:

Uh name... uhh - didn't I write that one down? Uhmmm... oh yeah goes something like this: Vaidotas Ivoška (picture on avatar).

You're wrong you know... you actually look like this:

http://www.din-bog.dk/Myter/Heinrich_Himmler.jpg

that's me

Im Thomas,but I think I said it somewhere already.
I got no pictures of me+Im too ashamed-maybe Ill add some photo converted to ASCII...

That'd be cool, Toxik.

Here's a self-taken picture of yours truly. And btw, my name is Eric. :bye:

ARGHHHHHH!!!

I can't post more then 15 pictures in a single post :wall:

This means I can't add more pictures at the moment. But please, keep them comming, I'll work something out!

Heh this topic is great proof that abandonia is really a mix of many different people, by age, gender, nation...
And yet no one really cares about that we all treat each other the same... [/Hippi rant]

I'm sure you can link to more than 15 pictures?
Use photobucket, or imageshack etcetera...

Ha-ha, very funny.

...

You're wrong you know... you actually look like this:

http://www.din-bog.dk/Myter/Heinrich_Himmler.jpg [/b][/quote]
my character looks like that :) ..i look a bit different

It can't be done. It won't allow more then 15 image links (no mater where they're stored - has been tried before *see Abandonia Meeting in Croatia thread*).

Well, I made a "Class Photo". If 15 such photoes can pe posted I think it will be enough (or I'll make pictures a bit smaller and stuff).

My full name is Catherine Emélie (but Emélie is my seond name and never used, but i like it, not as common as catherine.)

Ps : I relly should be worcking. Nedd to work for tomorow's networks test.

Well. This is Ines:

And that is me:

I'll wait for a few more pictures and make another group one (untill then you're pictures will be shown seperately).
I'm thrilled that people responed so well to this!

Call me Ahab.
Or, no, Maxwell Christian Kok-de Witte.

A lot of 'old' people here, hm? (No offense!)
Most of the communities are inhabited and contaminated by my fellow-age 'friends', but come'on, these communities really stink.

Yes, I agree. People your age have the tendency to make a comunity :not_ok: *giing subtle hints* :bleh:

































Nah, just kidding. It's the variety that makes Abandonia forum such a great place!

Not to forget the people who make lame jokes.

Well, here's little ol' me. I've quickly cut one of the pictures from ''The Meeting''. :)

Yes. And two of them are conditio sine qua non for this site :bleh:

Yes. And two of them are conditio sine qua non for this site :bleh: [/b][/quote]
LOL

And that's why every single Abandonia member should be thankful!

Damn, I should pay attention in Latin class. :ranting:

Heh, I never had a latin class in my life, but I know what that means (I was forced to lear latin though - had to know things for "midi-evil" history).

Damn, I should pay attention in Latin class. :ranting: [/b][/quote]
From Wikipedia:

Sine qua non or conditio sine qua non was originally a Latin legal term for "without which it could not be" ("but for"). It refers to an indispensable and essential action, condition, or ingredient. In recent times it has passed from a merely legal usage to a more general usage in many languages, including English, French, Italian, etc.

Well here's yours truly, the vocaldude. :angel: Got to get an updated one though, hopefully soon enough.

According to the two sources I've listed below (which admittedly may not be completely accurate, but I couldn't be bothered to dig any deeper!) the name is made up from the germanic elements 'ric' (meaning power, rule, leader, braveheart) and 'hard' (meaning brave, hardy, strong) and was introduced to the english language by norman settlers from europe. This would imply that the name was in use elsewhere prior to it's use in England.

http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=richard and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard.

Meow. My Name's Anthony

I try to be a part of the community, but I keep falling asleep and waking up in strange places..

There are plenty of names ending in '-ric' well before the conquest, though, and the word 'hard' (or something very similar-looking - I can't be bothered to check my OE-dictionary right now) is definitely pre-Norman. So the name's roots are most likely Anglo-Saxon, even if the actual name isn't. And since Anglo-Saxon is largely a Germanic language, that would mean you're both right.

If you want to put a pic in, do you have to do it through something like photobucket? :blink: inserting photos isnt my speciality... <_<

(don't put my picture in, it's old and awful)

Excuse my curiosity, but how exactly did you know that? :)

Well, have you ever seen the Hitchcock film 'Rear Window' . . .

Ah so r.u.s.s. DID actually see me commit that murder...? :ph34r:

Darn.

:D

my real name is swiss ..... :angel:




ok kiddin ... I am Stephan and this is one of the most recent pix of me:

edit:
If anyone wants his/her pic to be retouched or corrected in any way please PM me or eMail me .... I'd be glad to offer my services. :cheers:

Heh, I like that... "I can correct your face".

hehe ... maybe - If you hit me hard enough you could probably make my nose straight ... :karate:

And I still don't have one usable picture to upload.... maybe the camera hates me :D

My name's already there? How?!? :blink:

And here's me:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y237/supsuper/eu.jpg

post one...every camera hates me..so i guess you have an advantage...but i still posted first :P

Define "lots" and "old", please.

While I will not suggest that we poll for people's ages, there are lots of young people here, with a sprinkling of people who are entering middle age. Although I am nearing the age of 39, I do not consider myself old, as it is never too late to have a happy childhood. From the photos presented, I would be surprised if more than ten percent of active posters to the fora are above twenty-five. I am bad at guessing ages, but most of the photos seem to be people in between sixteen and twenty.

Name's already in there, and it's Alberto.

Heh, I like how Deathdude has always that "Ah! Your car is on fire and I hid the extinguisher" grin in every pic of him.

As for pics, one can be found here.

An alternative one is here:

LOL That's a nice way of describing it TheVoid, classic. :D

@Himmler- Heh Jerry Seinfeld that's a new one, always figure myself look more like Mr. John Petrucci, least when he was younger. :angel:

http://img250.imageshack.us/img250/3...ture1220yc.jpg

Thats me....about 10:50PM.

same here... my pics are not really up to date. I have old ones on my homepage (which i can't update anymore). And i have ones from early last year, but i lost a lot of weight since then and my face looks more "normal" now. when i find one i will post it.

I doubt anyone is interested though :D

Edit: Seb, slike daj na server in jih potem poveži z IMG ukazom. Tako jih (verjetno) lahko objaviš več v enem prispevku/temi. Edini problem je, če ni serverja...

COOL hair! :ok:

Slike so že na serverju, vendar ne morem dodati več kot 15 IMG linkov v eni objavi (na žalost). Bom pač napisal eno kratko stran, kjer bodo vse slike objavljene (html format).

For everybody who doesn't understand what we're talking about (that's the majority of you) :bleh: :bleh: :bleh:
Now you won't know what our plans to rule the world are.

I understood everything and will make your world domination plan crumble to dust! :evil:

MWAHAHAHAHA!

Mee too... I'm against "world domination plans"... unless they are my own :whistle:

EDIT: No, I didn't understood what they said, but I' m always against something :bleh:

I will post a new one with my longer hair

Say Punch... Is that O RLY some version of Oh Really? OR is there any other meaning to it?

I'm asking because in Slavic (not Germanic) languages OREL/ORAO means an EAGLE, so ORLI (pronounced as ORLY) would be the plural - more eagles... And that is an eagle isn't it?

It means "Oh Really?" And I think that's an owl.

O RLY? is one of those ridiculously silly internet phenomenons which have somehow become so popular.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_RLY
http://orlyowl.com/

These are the most common versions:

http://orlyowl.com/orly.jpg
http://orlyowl.com/yarly.jpg
http://orlyowl.com/nowai.jpg

And yes they're owls.

I can see "Rly" in first position.

Stupid bloody internet words, somebody needs to pwn theese wannabe l33t n00bs.

W0rd.

I was just parrodying Dannys avvy Im not actually a AIMspeek nerd.

haha have you seen their gallery

something weird happened to the pic and I cannot explain how and why ...

That's just awesome Swiss! :w00t:

@Faw: Micheal? Really?

@Swiss: Great work! It would be even better if you hadn't forgot to put my picture in! Unintentionally, I hope. :bleh:

Yes. And Abi79 too :whistle:

Hoy, I make the place go round!

Lauren Plakhovna is the one on my passport.

As for a picture, those who want to find one easily can.

sorry Dino ... I was not an act in bad faith. ...

done. but give us a photo so that I can add you in the hall of fame ... :w00t:

I wasn't originally going to post a pic, but that hall of fame thing is so amazingly cool I can't resist being in it. Here's a passport photo of me taken a few months ago, I have longer hair now and no fringe, btw.

http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/3784/myphoto6au.th.jpg

Nothing to be concerned about, mate! :)
I knew it wasn't intentionally. Once again, great idea and great work! :ok:

I also thought you were an old man!
Boy, was I wrong.

I just saw the crew picture.



Great work! :ok:

Would it be an idea to put our nationality behind?
Not that it is important, but it shows how international this place is.

I thought about the same thing ... but unfortunately I cannot tell the nationality of everysone around. but I try. Probably you all can correct me and add some more information....

OK - maybe poeple could (from now on) give their nationalities as well?
It can be a slightly touchy subject to some, so tell us if you don't want us to add it (or if there are some mistakes).

OK, let's start. I'm Croatian! :)

YOu've already got my Britishness on the list, but for the record, I'd prefer to have a Union Jack instead of an English flag.

So you're both from Luxemburg?

Timo, Finnish, picture at the left.

EDIT: Hm. As the picture at the left is slightly outdated, there's a bit more recent one over here.

can i be russian slovakian?=D

I'm from the land of the english people..

So you're both from Luxemburg? [/b][/quote]
How dare you?
Luxembourg stole our flag and changed the lower blue bar into a light-blue bar.
Bah.

I just thought it was a rather dark day :whistle:

I'm from Poland

I'm flattered, but you transposed the numbers in my age - I'm 31.

I'll try to repeat my problem...


I can't see the new photo!!!


Any clues?

Well, here's the link to where swiss put it...

http://www.moccador.de/abandonia_crew_artsy.jpg

Maybe all you need to do is to wait a bit longer (I can see it just fine).

sorry, but the link doesn't work for me :crazy:

when I try to open it I see a blank page and 'finished' at the bottom, I use Mozilla

I am going to cryyyyy

why not trying using IE for one picture=)
edit:or just try save as, and add link

You're using mozilla firefox? I had problem with images you nee to update to the newest version and it should work...

Also try viewing the picture in IE, or some other browser...

tried both ways, IE-same result, saving and opening showed me an empty box with a black frame... :ranting:

dacian, no ..roman, oh wait ...romanian. :)

ugh i found a few that are at least one year old. if not more.

Learning english.

OMG

That pen you got in the first photo!!!!!!!!!

Best pens ever!!!!!!!!!

Nice choice.

Hum, let me see if I can post it here....

(this was what you couldn't see, right? LOL )


EDIT: Image removed due to limitations on the global size of my attachments

I do not think it was the reason, but thx

Pilot?
It's companies standard issue pen :D. And someone already took it from me (it misteriously dissapered...) We have Pilot ceramic pens, ordinary pens, pencils everything...

Edit: I just noticed that there is still the old keyboard on the picture. It must have been there for 10 years and then i came, had a lunch at the office and gave it some watter to drink LOL - offcourse it had to be replaced, because it kept writing on it's own. :whistle:

Nice picture, swiss...

BTW, name's Christian. That's what this thread was about, right? :D

<!--QuoteBegin-kajjj@Feb 14 2006, 01:25 PM

Are you still crying, or may I deducte by your last post that you solved it?

Anyway, I'm using Mozilla 1.7.12 and I have no problems seeing these pictures... I don't know which version you are using or if it is even the same "Mozilla" we are talking about, but maybe you need to check your "Image Manager" at "Tools" in your browser bar (this is just another way of telling you "sorry, I don't know what to do, so I can't help you much" :tomato: )

I just couldn't resist:

EDIT: Whoops,forgot to resize...

@shrek: I have the same version, I will try to figure it out myself. Thanks for placing the photo in this thread, after all it belongs here.

you didn't read douglas adams, did you? Well, if you did then you would have known that all oencils go back to their homeplanet once ... and then they have humanoids to drive them around in their cars. an old man already went to that position an ex-pen-driver has given to him and all he said "all this cannot be true" ...

---


@kajjj: I am pretty sure your problem is solved when we do these two simple steps:

1. post another PRETTY picture of you :whistle:
2. I replace the image by another one with a different name ...

you start ... :D

I have a strange feeling, that you're up to no good, I'll try get another one anyway. And this time a better one I hope :D

you mean another browser by saying "another one", right? :angel:


but anyway I am up for all good so don't care 'bout me ... do u think I should seperate our pics from each other?

Anyway I changed the size of the pic and the name ... maybe it works for you now?!?!

---

for all the others : I updated names, nationalities and the pic itself - let me know when I got something wrong .... oh well, I also added the frappr map ...

:cheers:
swiss at thy service

:angry: :cry: I don't make the place go round anymore!

But you can call me First Lieutenant.

well, I meant a photo to be honest, I already tried to use three browsers...
maybe if you could send me the link to the new class picture

I'll leave the rest to you... :angel:

http://www.moccador.de/abandoniacrew.jpg

Alternatively:

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e130/Mas...andoniacrew.jpg

when I try to open any of these links I have

http://127.0.0.1:1028/clear.cgi?

in the adress bar
it shows at the same time when the page finishes to load
I give up

port 1028 ???? why that? It's a port for remote access ... and 127.0.0.1 ist "local host" which means you are talking to yourself - somehow.

where are u using the internet? somehow remote? is java activated? maybe you surf in a very secure network environment ...

I use it from the UK, standard security, I think Java might be the problem, when I open the script console it shows me the string of errors, I'll try to do something about that

:D Just how'd you get it to go to 127.0.0.1? :D

well, it just appears on it's own, besides I'm pretty talented with doing "strange things" with my PC's

Like what ? :blink: :w00t:

Keep it on topic guys - this is a sticky, you know.

like breaking unbreakable, plugging where noone else is able to and having errors noone ever seen before :max:

Just my kind of girl ! And you look good on top of that. :w00t:
But it's a sticky. :angry:
Let's end this before it goes too far... :cry:

OK, hum, hum... It's no wonder you use your PC so badly since you are a girl ! :twisted:

Don't say that to kajjj!

Now let's get back on topic again.

ok, I'm not talking to both of you now :angry:

:D

Nationality - Russian. I am in the USA right now, but soon back to the Motherland.

So is mine ;)
My real name is Artem. (from Roman Artemus, which means healthy).

Humm.. I really can't find any photos of me...

I haven't exactly searched that hard, though..

Well, I'm a girl, and know how to uses computer. I'm not in a computering enginer school for noting. :whistle:

Exceptions prove the rule... :P

Well, as you guys allready know my name is Bragi and I'm Icelandic.

Here's a recent picture of me

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...kur/memeME.jpg

And well, posting my name here wasn't really too big of a deal, since it's allready in the crew section (the Icelandic one ;) )

So Puff can sleep easily ;)

*phew*

;)

I'm in Virginia

Id rather you all use this pic of me. It is a bit better if I say so myself

*screams for resize*

*Screams for resize and removal of ugly picture*

Oh and by the way:
http://imagehost.darkernet.co.uk/i/vypusknoj.jpg
Nevermind the expression on my face...

Uhm..

whats with the expression?

Modeus, you look a lot like the Russian skater guy who was in 1st place in the stuff today. Yeugenie something or something

Too happy.
Heh that's cool. I'm not following the Olympics closely, mostly hear the news from other people.

hmm a lot of you guys here look like they just had sex with some gorgeous woman. LOL

as a matter of fact ... :whistle: :D

---


anyway: another edit of the first post was performed so please click on your browser's reload button everyone!


----

does anyone know if partizanka really is that grrrl on that pic? I think it looks like from some army movie ..............

She did say that was her, although at some points I thought it was actually another member... Somebody else who knew Russian and would want to pretend to be someone else (but that's totaly beyond the point right now).

What?

maybe she was an actor in some Partisan movie :blink:

can I get my name on that list? Filip Maj - Canada (Though I am Polish).

there you go .......

Wow this is pretty cool. Nice to match faces with names. Here's my info...

Alias: Sly
Real Name: Matthew
Nationality: USA (Pennsylvania)

done. you're in ...


-----

I am thinking about adding small symbols to the pictures. Such as "VIP" or "Inactive" or "Freak" ....

What do u think?

good idea!
and maybe you should put male/female symbols too
...you know yobor looks realy hot on that photo :D :tomato:

hahaa...


ok everyone please post if u are a girl or a boy. when u ar not sure PM me and I'll give you some advice on how to find out.... :bleh:

ook, iam boy=]

I'm an it.

I am who I am and I want it to stay this way!

Im male and im from Finland.

You cant see this detail in my picture so i have to tell this: I have a big lower lip.
And im sometimes teased in school because of that..... :cry:

Well, one should see rather clearly on my pic that I'm male. ;)

Indeed. And you can pretty much feel the masculinity of my pic.

GRRRRAAAARRRR or something.

Sorry if I offended anyone.

after days of changing my browser settings, trying different firewall configurations and plent of other thing I've done, I finally managed to see the picture!!!

I have used my brother's PC and e-mailed it to myself :bleh:

See? there is always a solution LOL

How about adding everyone's current age?

Im 15.

If we should've something about the age, we should rather add the birthyear.

Well, seems my name's already up, so if you want to add the country, age and such, I'm from Finland, 20 years old (born 1986) and male. I'm too lazy to find and post a picture so I'm gonna save you all from the horror and not do it.

Punch (AKA #Alex#) still makes this place go round!

Now let's not be tedious, shall we?

This whole thing is against Abandonia's law :bleh:

It's not the 'whole thing', it's only the users who are under 18.

Oh, yes.. ahum, sorry then.
Well don't tell on me.

Oh, come on.. I never bother with those..
My parents dont know what abandonia is (but my dad -might- know what dosbox is), I go freely around the net, I've posted my real name many-a-time, I've got postcards from people here... And Danny is a name I go under in many a place (I really should tell my science teacher to add "252" to that when she says my name...)

So, yeah.. I dont see any random abandonia people popping up at my house. Heck, no one ever pops up at my house..

I really should get a picture of me up here.

That's just in case, but I certainy hope abandonia isn't a bunch of pedophiles... is it? :ph34r:

I feel more threatened by a year 10 girl I know from school that I was talking to yesterday on AIM.

Really.

I mean it.

If you feel insecure, you can always come to me and cry on my shoulder.
If you feel more comfortable, we can both wear swimsuits and I will hug you to sleep.

Disclaimer: This was a joke, to go with the future trend beneath me.

Well, you're fairly young... We could use you as a bait to find out. :whistle:

Am I joking? :evil:

Jesus Christ.

What have I walked in on?

*Runs*

Nothing new. We all suspected it anyways.

Thanks for the tip. I can see you're experienced.

This topic is sooooo getting closed!

GUYS STOP IT!

Keep this topic clean or it will be deleted.

Shall we still write our names in here or doesn't anyone give a $417 about it?

I hope 417 Dollars don't disturb you. Otherwise please let me know. :angel:

The only thing disturbing about $417 is when I have to give it away to find out someones name...

Seb Gorkur come's twice in the list.....

My Real name is Daniel :)

Im wayne :)

Got some cute users here LOL :)

Well i have just found this place so thanks for makin me welcome :)

My real name is Gregory :)

Gregory Lyris to exact ;) Basicaly "Lyris" in the english language is pronounced "Leris". Or something like that LOL

Maximus Motala

*very late*

This topic is so cool! I love the yearbook, great job swiss! :D

I love that my glasses and swiss's look alike hehe

It's already up, apparently, but my name's Monica.

Oh, and I'm a girl.

Wow... look at that sexy picture of me you have there...
My name would be *gasp* Tom Henrik.

There are some of you that think that the Henrik bit is my last name, but it's not. Hah hah on yous. :bleh:

O rly? :D

Nah..


I always believed in people with double names :ok:

great. Cause I'm actually called Maikel Jeroen :tai:

I know many of will doubt it but my real name is Wolf.
It's a very old german name.

Derived from Wolfgang maybe?

No, strangely it's not. Orthographicly Wolf is much older that Wolfgang AFAIK. They don't even have a common root. :blink:

I know a guy named wolfram. Pretty cool name I must say :D

:roflol: ;)

Do you write it with a hyphen normally? What would be really irritating is when people start calling you MJ... makes me think of Spiderman :whistle:

Grapje, h? Maikel, maar je mag mijn warn wel ophogen als dat je oplucht :angel:

Ja mag het? Kan niet wachten :P

Maikel J Kersbergen :D

Well most people forget about the J part here anyway

How about triple names? ;)

Here's mine: Sarah Elizabeth Anne.
Named after 3 different people, mind you.

From the States, too. :Titan:

And some of us are also from a nordic country, and are not fooled by that mean mean mean trick - shame on you Tom - trying to lure the innocent french into believing that your last name is Henrik :ph34r:

Well....I got that out of my system (sorry Tom)....Real name: Mads Raasted - and yes, Raasted IS my last name :ok:

/Raasted

I think I'm the only one here who has failed on an exam for spelling own name incorrectly :whistle:
I always wanted to have a middle name... I'm the only one in my family who doesn't :tai:

I got a middle name (Giovanni) but it's not even mentioned in my ID.

mine is
Sergejevič
read:
Sergeyevich


by the way is swiss here somewhere around so that he can add gender and names orr

No way you people are finding out my last name. Or my middle name. Or my 2nd middle name. HA! :P

Maybe we(or should I say, swiss) should make a wallpaper of these pictures. Like "TeH CR3W" or something :)

hey guys (and grrrllzz),

finally I got it updated again ....

the idea with the wallpaper is cool. I see what I can do. I also think that this strange background should be changed to something cooler ... errmm ... any suggestions?

Maybe a background from an almost-as-cool-as-us classic game? :P

make a suggestion ... When I look at us I would prefer Monkey Island or something :bleh:

Come on, it can't be that I'm the ONLY hungarian person around here? Granted, I didn't read through 20+ pages, but still...

There's another one just 2 posts above you.

What, you mean Playbahnosh? Okay. Guess I ain't the only one after all :ok:

make a suggestion ... When I look at us I would prefer Monkey Island or something :bleh: [/b][/quote]
Yay for Monkey Island! :Brain: :monkey_dance:

Monkey Island is indeed a nice idea! ... and sorry for posting my photo into the wrong thread. The other thread animated me more to search for a picture ...

What? You didn't see the photo until now? Sorry, but your micros**t search button will not help you .... :D

Btw, my real name is Mario. Nice to meet you!

I added you to the crew photo.

And I changed the background to a colourful MI theme ... so hit the RELOAD button everyone!

:cheers:


and here is my first attempt in making a desktop background. This one is for 1280 x 1024 pixels but you should be able to resize it for your needs ;)

http://www.moccador.de/abandonia_desktop.jpg

That's a nice enough picture, but I won't use it as a desktop, because it would make thing to cluttered... Still :ok:

This back image seems somewhat CMI-esque but I don't remember where it is from. Although it MUST be somewhere on Melée island.

.:EDIT:.
Posted two quotes with the big pic.

I am too drunken or Kosta is losing hair wach time that the picture get edited?

I did much more contrast on that pic - maybe it looks coz of it ... or maybe coz both things happen ... :blink:

Awesome, swiss :)

I think I will use it for a desktop... if I make a custom background, do you think you could plug in the photos for me?

We really do have some attractive people on AB ^_^

Hehe. I'l try and fool around with something too, desktops are fun...

And if Swiss is too busy I can do it.

In case it's not too late, my real name is Javier, and I seem to be the only Spaniard around here.

The initial 'J' should NOT be pronounced like in Joe, rather like the greek letter "chi" for instance. But if it's hard for you just use the Old Spanish version instead, Xavier which would be pronounced "Shavier". :ok: In any case, the accent should be placed on the last syllabe.

So if I add a photo of mine to my profile, would I get a chance to show on that poster? :D Or have I understood wrongly? I don't have any photo of mine in digital format but I'd manage to make one if necessary... :rolleyes: (Wait, maybe I do have some digital photos, I'll check out my CD pile... But respond anyway pretty please.)

Dunno if this topic is a bit dead but what the hell, since I've been here a while and I trust...most of you...(there's no smiley with a suspicious look, unfortunately) :P...My name is Jonathan, apparently from the Hebrew name Yehonatan, meaning "Yahweh has given" - "Yahweh" being God. A more modern translation of the meaning is "Whom God gave" or the "The Lord has given". That's right, I'm a gift from God. Be thankful I'm here. :P

You know, I just look up into the sky and yelled "Whyyyyyyyyyyy???"

well it has happened before but i was like "naaah...me!? no way!!1!!!"

Surprisingly enough, my real name is Lulu.... and even more shockingly, my second name is *crashing chords* Jane. Yup, sad but oh so true ;)

But it's unique :)

It's not sad...i kinda like it, sounds like the name of a band.

.......

Or a female anti-hero in a B-rated movie who tears through hordes of Martian space zombies while wearing a leather catsuit and not once messing up her make-up or hair and throwing out cheezy one-liners. :boxing:

Yes, I have heard that too, it does mean something like "imortal". I don`t know if it is an ancient greek or ancient macedonian word, you know here on the Balkans the history problems are a head-pain. <_< I stay out of it though. :whistling:

Edit: what is anatas? :huh:

Lulu Jane is a ammmm sexy :ok: name I think...

I had a girlfriend named Caca. The name made me crazy :santa: It still does, actually :whistling: It`s qute. :whistling:

Nace.... Caca in romanian means muck....not so cool....

I didn`t knew that. Whell, I don`t know any romanian...

It`s just a shortname for Slavica.

Slavica=Caca
Atanas=Nace

:monkey_dance: :band: :rifle:

So Nace is actually pronounced like "nuss" in english?
BTW, Kaka is baby talk for muck in German, too.

No, Nace is like:

Na-Tse

You pronoun it like you see it :)

Caca is not Kaka but:

Tsa-tsa

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Nace @ Oct 28 2006, 09:56 PM) [snapback]264037[/snapback]</div>In other words, you pronounce symbols like I do in my native language.
Heh, I would've made my easiest 5 bucks if I knew there was a "challenge" like that. :whistling:

Um... Caca is for muck in hungarian too... had to add that...

And in Spanish. And French and Italian and Portuguese etcetera.

But it's pronounced "kaka" not "çaça", so take no offence. :)

Me - John in the UK
Kura - Dawn in Same Place (Same Flat :P)

Kura in finland means mud.

I don't remember what game it was (I think it was shogo MAD) where was this woman who's name was something like "Akkaraju" or "Akaraju". Anyway, if you switch it a bit to Raju akka, it means "rough hag". Not very romantic.

"Hi, this is my rough hag girlfriend"

My real name is Roy.

DLoTTn (Gamin' name) - Haakon.

Hey, my name's Aeryn, and I'm 22 (born June 1984) - not the legal spelling (i.e. the one on my birth certificate/passport), but it's the one I prefer. ^_^ And should you all want to put a face to the name, a photo of yours truly...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../100_1814a.jpg

It's not the most recent, but my most recent photos are of me with straight hair - and my hair is not naturally straight. I'm a chick in case you can't guess from my photo ;) And seeing as others have disclosed their nationalities, I'll bite too - dual British-Australian citizen, resident in Australia. :)

Do I see a Wollongong girl Miss Aeryn? Tell me that my eyes don't decieve me :)

Close, but not quite. I live in Albion Park. :)

I know Albion Park! Wow, small world - I grew up in Wollongong (moved around a couple of different suburbs.)

Anyways, the reason I ask is because I think I recognise you and your name ('though not the spelling of course ;)) I think that you might have gone to school at some point with my younger sister... Did you ever go to a montessori school by any chance?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Lulu_Jane @ Jan 26 2007, 06:33 PM) [snapback]276520[/snapback]</div>A small world indeed :)

No, never went to a Montessori school - I'd have loved to, but my mother quashed the idea by saying I'd never get anything done XD I went to the Christian school here in town. That's seven wasted years I'll never get back...

Heh, yep I know the pain :)

Hmmm, I gues that's not it then, but if it ever dawns on me I'll let you know!

I get about quite a bit :)

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Lulu_Jane @ Feb 12 2007, 08:07 AM) [snapback]278896[/snapback]</div>Do go on. :w00t:

*ahem*

What I meant was that I'll be in Hong Kong next week and if all goes well, mainland China the following month. But I always come back to Bangkok (for now anyways.)

Aussies tend to get around, I think it comes from being stuck on an island in the middle of nowhere...

Im Anderson Gonçalves from Brazil

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(H.Loffel @ Feb 16 2007, 02:03 PM) [snapback]279578[/snapback]</div>The same surname as Bruno from Portugal :w00t:

Hadiël - Same name as "the father" of Linux. (Linus.)

Full name: Linus van de Laarschot, born in the Netherlands, Eindhoven. Currently living in Eindhoven.
Age 21.

In case you want to know what Hadiël is based upon, take Hades (god of greek mythological underground/hell) and Gabriël (angel of wrath) Combine, add salt, wait 6 hours, done! This due to the way i look at things in life (good/evil) and when i say things i mean ALL things...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Sebatianos @ Aug 11 2007, 10:26 PM) [snapback]304265[/snapback]</div>Here? :unsure:

Help needed?

OK, the list is edited, hopefully no-one was left out so far, please let me know if you wish anything to be changed... (like your gender or sometihg - and I'll come running there with a pair od glowes and the surgical kit).

Think you could change "MightyMidged" to "Mighty Midget"? :whistling:

EDIT: Did so myself ;)

Oops, hate C/P and empty spaces... they dissapear or pop up in all the wrong places (sorry).

Is this... thing still going on?

If so, my real name is Eduardo.
Now, to explain my user name, I'm afraid I can't! Especially since it has no real meaning.

And to wonder, I've been using it for ten years or so...

Anyway.

Glad to join this forum.

Ryan

The 49th most common male name in the US

Can somebody please remove this as a sticky.

I'm thinking we should open up a new topic like this instead (some names might have changed, and some members weren't really active and might not even come back here to the site), to be more up to date.

...and close it, I recommend. The new one is to be found here.

Sticked the new one, unsticked this and closed it.
