It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

“Not dead yet!”

Hi. I'm Victor Infante, but my board name is Victor Infante.

No, your board name is victor infante. Which makes the difference in inflection much clearer, I think.

Always Anti-fascist!

(tosses Victor donut. Even though I sort of believe he's the hot guy with the picture frame since we've never met f2f.)

Thrive to spite them

Ohhh lots of lurkers de lurking cool!!

And y'all should totally post more, seriously it's fun!

I'm askye! I'm another who has been apart of the Buffistas since the Table Talk days. I used to be way more active, but I can't access the internet at work and so I don't post as much. Also I'm really far behind on a bunch of shows, like Supernatural. I live in the Big Bend area of Florida. I can be found in Bitches, Boxed Set, Comedy, Drama, fanfic and Great Write Way. I lurk way more than I post esp in the show threads because I'm so far behind on many shows. Like Supernatural.

By day I'm a mild mannered adminstrative assistant by night I'm... a mild mannered resident of Second Life. And soon I'll be learning to kick ass in real life (I'm starting kick boxing).

If anyone is in Second Life and want to look me up I'm Beatrix Noel.

I also enticed my sweetheart to join the board, he mostly lurks and is SLNRLBF. Which stands for Second Life Now Real Life Boyfriend. He's shy about posting but I tell him he should post more.

He'd never seen Buffy, Angel, or Firefly. So far I've introduced him to Buffy and Firefly. We're almost to the end of Season1 of Buffy so it's goign to be a long time before we get to Angel.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Did any other classic Doctor Who fan's mind go to "Logopolis" with this?

I was thinking Battalion in the "StormWatch" comic, but "Logopolis" is probably less obscure.

...

Oh, yeah. Nerd city.

Hey! We Sara(h)s will not be discounted!

I'm Victor Infante, but my board name is Victor Infante. The inflection is totally different.

And in other Nerd City news, I now think of Victor Infante as Zathras and wonder if he too is trained in crisis management.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hello, delurkers and semi-lurkers and re-delurkers! I remember seeing a few of you before, Rayne and Ouise, and you too, Ice.

I'm Zenkitty. I don't remember how I found b.org, or when I started lurking, or when I delurked as Ashtareth, or when I changed my board name to the name the rest of the Internet calls me. I've been here since 2004, at least. If you yell "Zen!" in a crowded theater, I'll turn around. (Other than that, Nothing will happen.) My real name is Elizabeth, and I know there's at least one other Elizabeth around here. I've been to two F2Fs, Atlanta and Seattle, and hope never to miss another.

I'm 46, single, and live alone with two beautiful cats in Charlottesville, Virginia, in a house overflowing with books, DVDs, antiques, clothes, shoes, and, of course, cat hair. I have a degree in anthropology, and I've been writing the same novel for twenty years.

I've lived in Tennessee, Virginia, and New Jersey (Exit 9, represent!), and briefly in Germany. I work at home, for an engineering institute in New Jersey that gives me money to edit their professional journals. They think I'm a responsible adult; it's so weird.

I try to keep up in Natter and Bitches, I'm usually hanging around in Boxed Set and Procedurals and Cable, and I post in flurries. If the computer's on, I have a B.org tab open.

I like serial commas and crime stories. I don't like muffalettas or cilantro. I'm still holding onto hope for The Inside to come out on DVD. Everything is better with Buffistas!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hi, I'm Hil. The sans-serif font on the board makes me think that every "Hi!" is someone typing my name, because I really don't look closely enough when I read. Originally from NYC, mostly grew up in NJ, college in New Orleans, currently in grad school for math in DC.

I like cilantro and serial commas. I do not like olives.

I've been a Buffista since TT. Not sure exactly when my first post was. Sometime in 2000, I'd guess.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Nerd City news

I would subscribe to this newspaper. (Hell, I could be the publisher!)

And on that note, I'm Steph L., wordnerd to the power of 10. Around these parts, I get addressed as "Teppy" (and other variations -- Tep, Tepalina, etc.) probably more often than "Steph" (because, as we demonstrated, there are several Stephs, but only one Teppy).

I found the Buffy thread (back in the day when there was only 1 thread!) at Table Talk some time in the 4th season of Buffy. I lurked for a long time because Table Talk had a rule that you couldn't register if you had only a Webmail address (hotmail, aol, etc.). Well, back then, my company didn't actually have e-mail, and I was only on hotmail, so I couldn't register.

(What a weird rule, as I look back on it.)

When we finally got e-mail at my job, I registered on Table Talk and delurked immediately. And I've been around ever since.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am pro-serial comma and -olives, anti-cilantro.
