Well, been here about 3 weeks. I keep getting into the forums from the home page....didn't see I was supposed to touch base here first...
Pakleds are from Star Trek; not too bright, need things to make us go...
After a few weeks around here, I realize I'm in familiar territory, probably for the first time...I talk a good game online, but IRL a bit more unsure of social situations...a bit older than most here, but then they didn't diagnose Asperger's until I was in my 40s...
The avatar is a Pakled (and everyone else, the most over-used ship on TNG history.. ship I modeled in Wings 3d, textured and rendered in Bryce, 2 of the 3d art programs I use. I hang out at Renderosity.com (same handle, if you're stopping by)
I tend to post a lot (have about 16,000 posts at 'rosity, in 6 years... not always helpful, but I'm mostly harmless...
BTW - what's with the descriptions under our names? Snowy Owl? |

The different names under the user names are rank designations based on how many posts you have made.
The more posts the more legendary the bird or dinosaur, at 500 posts you become a phoenix and remain so until your 1000th
post, that's when you can change your description and write in what you want to be when you grow up....

Pakled:
My Asperger's Syndrome wasn't diagnosed till I was
well into my 30's (PM me if you want to learn more).
Congratulations on your Snowy Owl rank, welcome,
and Merry Christmas.

Don't worry, I don't think anyone will kill you for it.
I've done 323 posts so far and I don't think I've introduced myself here yet... I figure that people know who I am by now.

It took me five months to make my first thousand, three months to make the second, five weeks for the third,
and about seven weeks for the fourth... be patient.

pakled - I did not begin on WrongPlanet by introducing here either. I do think anyone noticed, so it's ok...I think.
Hello pakled!
Separately, has anyone yet noticed I am approaching post #666? Just an observation.

Many things you wrote could have been said by me too. I wondered why ppl had, like three or four names (if you included the avater), and a 'signature' too, and when I found that some ppl were all veterans, or snowy owls, I nearly thought I wasn't to be here.
Also, I like harmless people. So, hello.

Welcome!
Cool avatar. Reminds me of the space ship "Adder" in Elite (a computer game that was very popular about 15 years ago). |
