All I can remember was that I didn't appreciate Hannibal since the first time he derailed one of my posts to rant about stuff.

That and that the Starry Nights mob were legendary enough people.
(Though that doesn't really count as a first impression because I had it about half a year after I joined or somesuch.)

I don't remember my first impressions of most people. Took me a long time to find my footing, and I generally didn't realise that others were doing the same. You all looked like you had been here for ages. Now that I have a bit of a place, my natural fear of change lends me to disliking nearly all new members. Either because they don't fit in and mess up the flow, or they fit in too well and I get jealous. Either way, the newbie settles into the rythem, realises they don't belong and leave, or I get over my jealousy, and all is good.

I knew many of you from former forums, such as the L&E, so it's hard to say about first impressions. In the beginning I was a little intimidated by all the talkative people, but now I'm not so much

And as for the relatively newer forumers, I tend to be a little wary at first since you never know which ones will turn into trolls, but the "newer" people who are still here seem to have found a place on the forums very well and the trolls usually don't stick around for long anyway.

So, in sum:

I remember that I was kind of impressed by Laura. She always seemed kind of reasonable in what she said and wasn't really as excitable as everyone else could be. Like when we all wanted to go stalk Bruce Campbell and she stopped us and taught us the true meaning of restraining orders.

I thought just about everyone had almost a cosmopolitan kind of cleverness to them, except when I went to the SW forums and saw the pages long arguments. That just really amazed me. I hadn't yet realized that the arguments were only about Star Wars, so they really seemed interesting and meaningful. Chefelf was really kind of surprising too because I had this image of some rich web-tycoon who was too great for mere mortals, and then I realized he was just a normal rich web tycoon.(akhem, joking, realize Chef's financial situation is likely teetering on the brink like mine)

I was actually thinking people had a much worse impression of me since I had no clue what was going on when I first came on the scene. My first screening room effort was a disastrous review of Pokey The Penguin comics that noone could understand, and my first news stories were posted as replies to dead news stories in the news room. Luckily I never exceded the weirdness quotient for new members by stalking Jane or writing about starwars nazis... Though I did try to ask Laura to marry me once, but that didn't go well. I blame the nazis for that.

Not me. I <3 the Anonymous Blonde. And the reason your marriage proposal didn't go over well was because you put it into the L&E forums, which had died the moment they moved over to here.

I honestly don't remember what I thought of people on this forum. I knew Slade from his other message board that I visited pretty often, but I don't remember what I thought of him in the beginning. i already knew Hecc and Reader because well... there's this thing called Real Life... LOL!

I remember I really liked Barend on this forum though, he kept it entertaining.

PRECIOUS VELIUS....

I can't really remember what I thought about you guys. Probably that you were all pretty funny. And barend's monstorous post count scared me. Just kidding.
