1.What kind of poster you are
Sporadic at best, though I suspect that will change once UQM 0.4 is released.
2. Best moment in SC2
Running out of fuel 0.6 hyperspace units from Sol, after having played for 6 hours straight without saving, cursing long and loud thinking I'd have to restart, and having the Melnorme come along and save me.
3. Favourite book ever (one or several)
Aye carumba, where to start? Probably my first year Biophysics textbook (yeah, I'm a nerd, so shoot me), or Sherlock Holmes.
4. One hobby
Gymnastics. Seriously.
5. What you are/want to become in the real world.
I'm a programmer in the Real World (tm), working for these guys: http://www.nemmco.com.au.
6. A fun fact about yourselves.
I haven't cooked a meal in over 7 months, and the local pizza shop recognises me by voice over the phone.
7. Anything else that feels valid and important
er, I'm a volunteer with the local emergency services, and a private in the Army Reserves. And I still haven't figured out the rules of cricket.

1.What kind of poster you are
A new one.
2. Best moment in SC2
Content to Hover: "Uh-oh."
3. Favourite book ever (one or several)
The Marvelous Land of Oz
4. One hobby
I build boats. (And sail them.)
5. What you are/want to become in the real world.
I'm a computer geek. (Obviously.)
6. A fun fact about yourselves.
I've figured out a loophole for legal same-sex marriage in Ohio.
7. Anything else that feels valid and important
I just discovered "uqm" for Gentoo Linux, never having played SC1 or SC2 back in the day. Is TFB planning to open the SC1 code, too? If not, perhaps the UQM code could be used to remake it after 1.0 is finished?

HALLELUJAH!!!
Would you care to guess which thread has once more been resurrected from the dead? Yes, it's been quite a while, and there's plenty of new folks around. Seeing as the thread is a wee bit on the dusty side, I'm hereby declaring the thread open for reposts, if there has been significant changes in your life. For added fun, quote your old post and edit in the new answers!
1. I'm a manic and periodic poster, meaning at some stages I'll post like crazy, and then at other's there will be several days during which I only write a reply or two.
REVISION: Sometimes there will be several months during which I wont write. Age has dulled my posting instincts.
2. When I set sails intop Androsynth space to try to talk my distant cousins into allying with me. I was flying on full combat alert, prepared to be hailed by a battlegroup of merciless Guardians at any time, expecting instant death. And this strange race appears, there are no androsynth, not even any traces!! that was spooky... Of course, once I found the homeplanet it got worse...
REVISION: No, pretty much the same
3. At the moment a series about a detectuive called Charlie Parker, the latest one called "The White Road", written by John Connolly.
REVISION: Carl Hiasen writes some borderline insane stuff, which is good for a laugh. But if you want to read a really really good book, I'd recommend "A sense of the World" by Jason Roberts, and amazing story about a blind traveller in the 16th century.
4.I rather like cooking actually. Being a student I mostly just make something quick, but every now and then a few of us get together and cook something cool.
REVISION: Still cooking, but for two nowadays.
5. I am a student, aiming to become a diploma engineer in process technology.
REVISION: I'm graduated, and working my first real life job.
6. I can twist my right hand into a claw, just like Jim Carrey. Only mines scarier...
REVISION: Nope, my messed up hand is still my best asset.
7. that's pretty much it. I also come up with fascinating Xenophobic topics, so I thought I'd make an exception woith this one.
REVISION: err... it's summer and lovely weather outside?

1. EXTREME!!! 900 posts in 4 months!!! That's 7 posts a day for you math-haters!
I even got PM-ed by meep-eep who said:
It's been bugging myself for quite some time now, but now other people are actually asking me to take action. You are making way too many frivolous posts.
I understand that you're just a SC fan who likes to talk about the game, but look at these statistics:
This forum exists since 2002; you're here for not even 4 months, and yet
* you've started more new threads than anyone (66)
* you've made 852 postings, placing you in the top 10 list of most active posters, among people who've been posting from the start of this forum. One out of every three postings is yours these days.
* you've created 15 polls. While the poll feature only exists for about a year, this is still about twice as much as all other people combined.
You don't have to respond to every posting out there. Your remarks really aren't that insightful that people are interested in your opinion on everything.
And if you find yourself responding to your own postings, maybe you should stop to think whether anyone is actually interested in what you're saying.
You are obviously a very quantity-over-quality kind of person (as I've noticed in the Ultronomicon too), and I'm not trying to change who you are, but you are starting to annoy people.
Some of your remarks are actually quite interesting, and if you would just hold back a bit instead of saying everything that is on your mind, the things you would say would then make you appear a lot more insightful.
I'm sorry if I'm being harsh, but sometimes a moderator has to moderate. And I'm slowly dropping at 3 posts a day.
I also like using sockpuppets, like Galvennmeister.
And using a ridiculous birth day for my profile.
2. When I found out about the Slylandro. It was after I had finished the game and I was exploring around to see if I had missed something.
Also, when I found the VUX Beast - you know, I had tried using the translation of Linch-Nas-Ploh to no avail... until I realized that Linch comes from Lyncis, and checked every planet in Lyncis. I found a strange looking creature and hunted it, with no hope of it being the Beast... when I got a lander message!!! HURRAH!!!
3. I really like the Dune series (in a gradient, the first book the most and the last ones the least).
4. I could say that I'm learning 3D modeling, in the hopes that I will someday make videos at least as good as Slylendro.
5. I'd like to become a biophysicist.
6. I'm always in one of the extremes.
7. Umm... I'M A VAMPIRE!!!

Huh. I probably missed the 2004 ressurection of this thread by a couple of months at most, I know I started posting here (and first discovered UQM) just after 0.4 was released. I guess I never went back to look.
1: I check daily, most often during some downtime at work (thank goodness this is one of the few sites that the stupid web filter didn't catch). I post when I feel I have something relevant to add (or just feel like posting, anyway). It's probably also worth mentioning that certain topics will consistently make me pop blood vessels after a short amount of time; I've been trying to avoid posting in them.
2: Finding Fwiffo for the first time. Boy, was I ever pissed when he slaughtered all those crew! But once I got to talking with him, he just made me laugh, and I didn't have the heart to atmoize him. Best decision I made during that first playthrough, perhaps, though I wasn't good enough with Eluders to keep him alive for the entire game like I do now.
Incidentally, I found him so amusing, that I ended up randomly quoting his dialog for a couple of weeks, wherever I felt I could work it into a conversation, often to people who had no idea what I was referencing. Good times. 
3: Anything by Terry Pratchett, because I couldn't choose a single favorite one of his books even if forced. I'm very fond of select works by many other authors, but Pratchett is the only one I read and thoroughly enjoy consistently.
4: I guess you could say that gaming is my main hobby, in all its myriad forms (PC, console, handheld, board, tabletop, pen & paper RPGs, card, etc. etc. etc.). I've amassed quite a collection over the years (primarily because I'm reluctant to sell or toss any of it; you never know when you'll want to pick those old game up again!).
5: Biochemist, Oligonucleotide synthesis. I've been working about 5 1/2 years now.
6: I never outgrew my love of Transformers from when I was a wee lad (much like several others on this forum, looking back). I still have boxes of the toys dating back as far as the early 80's, and I'll be headed to BotCon later this month. Alternator Skids guards the top of my dresser, and a reissue Optimus Prime signed by Peter Cullen sits on one of my other shelves (this will be relevant only if you're a fan of the cartoon, too).
7: I like using parentheses when I type, and find occasion to work them in frequently (could you tell?). I'm also rather fond of the semicolon; even if I may not be using it correctly, it makes me happy to throw one in on occasion as well.

1.What kind of poster you are
I consider myself to be fairly frequest, if not as frequent as others. To be honest I dont add a lot tof value to dialogue outside of melee tournaments
2. Best moment in SC2
Finding the Slylandro - how cool!
3. Favourite book ever (one or several)
Er, obviously not original choices but hard to go past Hitchhiker's and LOTR
4. One hobby
I play Ultimate Frisbee!
5. What you are/want to become in the real world.
Currently a mindless government drone. Would like to save the world instead. I intend to run for God in the next election
6. A fun fact about yourself.
I have double jointed thumbs and elbows. Also used to play guitar ina band, seems a long time ago now...
7. Anything else that feels valid and important
As well as working fulltime, I'm studying part time too - Geography post-graduate. This means I have no life.
