    Grr.

    I still think we should sue Sierra for the trauma the cancellation caused. (IRC conversation).

    We can use Warleader as an example.

    Yet 6 years later,were all still here.That says a lot.

    Tanhauser I agree, and thats our greatest triumph- something that (dare I say) is bigger than ITF could have been. We have created a lasting community.

    When I wrote the history a long time ago, I truly never expected that firstones would still be around, still be going strong, and that I would still be visiting it.

    Amazing how time flies. 6 years for some of those here. I'm only on something like year 5, but still...

    In another 6 years, will we still be here?

    Maybe not all of us but I don't plan to go anywhere.

    Well... well. 6 years. Dang. :D Time flies when you look back, and slugs onwards if you look ahead. Typical.

  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    There can be only FirstOnes...

    :p
  • WORFWORF The Burninator
    Jack is right.

    So we need to research the technology behind Biggles' tank and develop life extention technology so we can still be here in 600 years.

    I don wanna live forever just long enough to see my grandkids & then go the way of the dodo. As long as I've traveled the earth, lived, loved & saved a few animals I'm satisfied. Theres no way Im swallowing a tub of nanites to keep my carcass alive. By then it'll probably be near the end anyway.

    To six year's, then, and to us.

    Cheers!

    IIRC, it's been two years today since another important part of FirstOnes went beyond the Outer Rim. :(

    There are safe glades out there, awaiting torrents of rainfall to quench the thirst of the birds that are linked to them!

    i wouldnt mind living forever. id happily swallow nanobots to keep me young. i think the only thing that really scares me about dying is dying knowing that theres still stuff out there that i dont know and havent seen. to be nearly immortal would be the only way to see even a small percentage of whats out there

    Maybe just maybe I might get the opportunity to step on Mars...but I doubt I'll be around to make it beyond the rim or even the asteroid field.
