It seems like summer just flew right by this year. August has come and gone, but some things remain — like our August Member of the Month, ShadowdogMU. Brock joined BigBlueBall in September 2004 and has been a regular contributor to the forums ever since.
So who is ShadowdogMU? Here’s what I learned in our interview:
How did you find BigBlueBall? What keeps you coming back?
I found BigBlueBall through a Google search for, believe it or not, help on setting up a wireless network (which I still haven’t done), something that BBB isn’t famous for, but I stick around not only for that, but I try to make myself useful in all forums 🙂How did you come up with ShadowdogMU as your username?
Well, MU= Milton-Union, which is my High School, and dog as in Bulldog, our school mascot! Shadow was just a random thing I thought of to give my name length and it just happened to stick.How long have you been using computers?
Ever since I knew what they were, I was the teachers computer ‘IT’ guy in 3 rd grade, good times!How long have you been instant messaging?
Probably since around 5 th grade or so (2000ish), nothing big, like 2 buddies and 2 word conversations at .0005 WPM.What’s your preferred instant messenger? Why?
Trillian count? Mainly I use AIM, just because the majority of my friends use that.What’s your favorite BigBlueBall section, and why?
Computer Support!! Only because I love computers! I try to get around to all of them though; you know “spread my wealth of knowledge”.What do you do when you’re not online?
School. School consumes my life. When I am not in school OR on the computer I like to watch TV, go to movies with friends, read (it has to be a good book though).Anything else you’d like to add?
I just want to say that BBB is the most unique community I have ever seen, everyone is so nice here, it like a “second home”. I think the people here just seem to mesh so well, its not like other forums where there are “n00b” attacks, here when someone see “Posts: 1” they get a nice warm welcome to BBB as well as a nice answer to their problems. I am a member at many other forums, but on there you don’t see me living in the IRC channel practically, or even having a regular conversation with the Owner. I also just want to say thanks for giving me this privilege of being MOTM! I never expected it, just came home from school and hit my “gmail” button and I see this email from Jeff and I just went wild!!Congratulations, Brock! A BigBlueBall t-shirt is on it’s way!

September 14, 2005 at 10:45 am #130109DrBroccoliParticipantWell thank you all! I just don’t know what to say, I came home from school, did my daily favorites check, which includes Gmail, and I see this email from Jeff, and in GMails little preview thing it says “Congradulations Brock have been selected for August’s MOTM!” I just went wild, I was hootin’ and hollerin’, lets just say it was a good thing I was home alone that day :). Thanks again everyone!
