I have no idea what's going on, here. That may be a plus. Actually, that's pretty much my normal day.

Me:
1. Father
2. Musician
3. Printer of fabulous T-shirts
4. Caver
5. There is no five.

I'm just poking around here because someone hotlinked one of my images, so I followed the URL from my stats, and it looked interesting. Don't be put off by username -- it's just an anagram of my real name.


I browsed around a while for a "why does this site exist" manifesto-type thread, but couldn't find one. Another sign of my general state of cluelessness -- can someone point me to any such thing that might be in writing? I'm genuinely curious about how/why this community exists.

Cheers,
Chris

Welcome.... hmmmm... that's a great question... we've been around for 6+ years and everyone knows why, but I guess we all tell each other the story.

We exist because we wanted to have a place that has a better type of forum, that is, to better oneself and challenge each other with different opinions and viewpoints. It isn't just social tolerance, but really social acceptance.

Anagrams are fun!

why caver and not spelunker?

Firstly because caver is easier to say and more immediately descriptive, and besides spelunker sounds stupid, anyway, doesn't it? The caving community as a whole stopped using spelunker to self-describe a good 20 years ago, I'd say. These days it tends to carry negative connotations -- words change.

back after a couple years away

Used to frequent the forums starting back in '03 but for some reason or another real life seemed to take over and I found that I didn't have as much time as I used to for browsing/chatting/posting etc.

Recently, I've found ways to make some more time for myself and I was very happy to find the community still alive and active!

me:
late 20s

married to a cool artsy gal (who does watercolor / acrylic and mixed media work)

I do a little bit of everything when it comes to paying the bills, though my office title is somewhat silly : "senior presentation layer developer" ... which pretty much just means that I build other people's websites for them.

World of Warcraft junkie still (sigh) - though last year I decided that playing a single account wasn't quite enough so I grabbed a few extra PCs and now run 5 accounts at a time for kicks.

so in summary - I guess I am pretty much just a lucky nerd who found a hot artist that had a thing for nerds

it's fun to be back!
