Now that it's up, I remember it. I still don't remember the whole naming of, but I do remember the background... Embossed dinosaur-ish things... excellent.

Wow, I have no memory of that at all... but the internet doesn't lie. I am the original namer of the Dinaroo!

Wow this board has been around for 7 year!?

Hmm, it actually doesn't look half bad with the current style. Interesting.

Also, for those who are curious about that whole discussion (and Beck naming the background creatures) the archives await.

I don't remember the Kangasaurus at all... do you have that still Par? Could we get a taste of retro?

Also, have tickets for the Flaming Lips show gone on sale yet? I think I'll get in on that even though I'm not sure if I'll still be in town for it.

Don't remember the kangasaurus? Alright, let's step into the Way-Back Machine© and set for 2003...

Back then, when the board was still in its infancy, the background wasn't the glorious green that you see today, but was a sort of beige colour with the silhouette of some sort of creature. I asked Paras about it: he thought it looked a bit like a kangaroo, but also a bit like some sort of dinosaur. Eventually the name "kangasaurus" was agreed upon, and it stayed as the background for awhile after.

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any links to the old format.

I lost my voice at the reunion on Saturday. It was rather surreal... but kind-of nice too. I wish it had been held somewhere less loud, and that more people had shown up... but whatever, it was fun. Now I just want my throat to stop hurting!

thanks for the b-day greetings.


Tony, what's a kangasaurus?

RRRRROOOORRRRYYYYYY....

Indeed, happy birthday Alison AND damn you paras.
