Binkie Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 On the heels of the popularity of the "Explain Your Username" thread, I offer something that requires a bit more work, but possibly even more reward...something I've been milling over for several weeks, and just got the go ahead from the BTS staff to start up. Ok, so we've seen what Charles looks like from the CGW article (and I would've lost a bet that he was a big, gruff, bearded, 50s-something, groghead-looking guy). I say it's time to step up to the plate and share your mug with the forum groupies. These are the folks that you argue with, play against, and rant about, so matching up a face with a (newly explained) username is bound to be a hoot. In order to participate, you need to put a digital image of yourself on a web server that can be linked to. If you check out this page, it explains the details: http://www.battlefront.com/discuss/ubbcode.html . If you give it some thought, you're bound to come up with someone you know (or work for) who has a digital camera or scanner that can get you started. And your ISP most likely already gives you some free web space. No doubt some will not want to give up their online anonymity...fine, nothing to see here. No doubt some will post images that aren't themselves, and that's bound to be fun, too. I would only ask that people only post one photo each, in order to keep the thread somewhat manageable. So if you want to do a fake one, great, but that should be your only shot. Also, if you can keep the photo under 75K, it will help this page to load faster. To reduce an image's size, load it into a graphics program and crop it, and also choose a lower quality when you resave it. Again, we have permission to do this...it's not a problem for the BBS server because the photos are stored elsewhere...and the OT police shouldn't come a knockin' because I cleared it first (although we better see hair.jpg out here pretty soon, Matt!) Here we go (guess which one is me): [This message has been edited by Binkie (edited 02-15-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Gustav Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Well I spent my life at Windy Point, Alaska salmon fishing. Oh it's not the easy life for me, Alaska salmon fishing. But if the price is not too cheap, we'll pull those nets up from the deep. And it's twenty hours before I sleep, Alsaska salmon fishing, boys, Alaska salmon fishing. Well Windy Point's an awful place, It numbs my hands and chills my face. But though the water's awful cold, the reds are worth their weight in gold. And now my story has been told, Alaska salmon fishing, boys, Alaska Salmon fishing. ------------------ Well my skiff's a twenty dollar boat, And I hope to God she stays afloat. But if somehow my skiff goes down, I'll freeze to death before I drown. And pray my body will be found, Alaska salmon fishing, boys, Alaska salmon fishing. -Commercial fishing in Kodiak, Alaska [This message has been edited by 109 Gustav (edited 02-15-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kept me rolling as a platoon commander and now that I'm the XO they keep my whole company rolling. This photo was taken at the 2000 Marine Corps Ball. The tanks were added later by one of the mechs.
