Drumroll once again please……
I am proud to present our member of the month for March: *everyone holds their breath*
Our dear friend and fun dude, Miami Guy, has been hanging around BigBlueBall since last January. We are certainly glad he has stuck with us so long as he always has a bright and intelligent answer to give. Also, something a little more dear and near to my heart, Miami Guy is interested in making graphics! He always has a fun, nice looking signature for us all to admire. Congrats on this achievement!
Q. How did you find out about BigBlueBall? What made you stay?
A. I found BigBlueBall when I was searching for a medical condition that I…I mean uh…heh. I was having problems with my msn messenger, and being the UBER noob that I was, my topic (which is now changed) read something along the lines of “AHH Emergency Help With My MSN Messenger!” As if it was the end of the world.I decided to stay because this was the first site I actually got help in and the only place that didn’t cuss me out. The emotional scars those other sites left me will forever haunt me. In addition, BigBlueBall is the only website that I know of that is the most informative regarding the instant messaging community. Plus the color blue is NEATO! and this place sure has a lot of it. *Thumbs up*
Q. Why did you choose “Miami Guy” as your username?
A. I live in Miami, FL, and my birth certificate states I’m a guy. So with my creativity being at its full potential I was like “OH SNAP! What if I put both together?” and VOILA!Q. How many years have you been using computers?
A. Four years although it sure has felt longer. I remember first getting a computer and being amazed by the fun of Minesweeper and spending hours trying to beat it in the hardest difficulty. Now I’m hardly a foul mouthed guy but I had the worst of luck in that game. Everytime I picked the wrong box and had to start over. A year later I got Dial Up internet and it gave me a whole other reason for use of a foul mouth.Q. How long have you been instant messaging?
A. Two years. My friend came over and told me to try out AIM, and again being my creative self, my nick was “mynewestnameever”. I used it for about a month and decided to pick a new one which is the one I still use today.Q. What is your favorite instant messenger and why?
A. Well I hate AIM because I’m convinced it is Satan’s software. In Yahoo I got tired of strangers messaging me with “U want be my friend? I love you” and MSN…well…ehh…they’re Microsoft but I can tolerate using it.In the end I’ll definitely have to say Trillian, it brings the most common instant messaging programs together without the hassle of advertisements showing up on the main window. It has loads of features and a nice clean interface. It sure beats having a whole bunch of messengers open. *Puts two thumbs up with cheesy smile on face along with one shiny tooth*
Q. What is your favorite BigBlueBall forum section and why?
A. Random Ramblings which I believe is now called Off Topic. Why? Because it just feels like a good place to go in and talk about anything. I know what you’re thinking “That is why they called it Random Ramblings genius” but it’s more than that. It’s nice to see the rest of the community being themselves, rather than just technical geeks with pocket protectors or silly noobs running in circles. I speak as a former noob myself.Q. What do you do when you’re not online?
A. Dude that’s like asking what do I do when I’m not breathing. *chuckles* But seriously when I do unglue myself from the world of the internet, I am usually reading books, studying, jogging, or going out with friends and wondering where the nearest Internet Cafe is. No I’m not addicted! That’s a preposterous idea!Q. Anything else you would like to add?
A. Alright! This is the part where I put some fancy pants quote that makes me sound like a mature sophisticated gentleman but unfortunately I’m none of those so you’ll just have to imagine something cool in the following blank: ____Now on a more serious note. I hardly expected to be member of the month. It’s really a surprise but hey I must have done something right and somebody noticed and here I am. Thank you for making me your member of the month, and on my birthday month too so it’s a cool belated birthday gift. I’ll always come back to this site because everyone of you makes it worth coming back to. I mean that. I only wish to contribute as much as I can to a website that has contributed so much to myself and many others.
Now I must go before I get all mushy and teary eyed like a little sentimental school girl. Once again, Thank You. you’re welcome :0)
