Aaah ok. On Maxcoderz they usually got locked when they got spammish or flame wars occured. On Cemetech they used to be locked when too offtopic and spammish but idk if they do anymore. Over here I tend to dislike when people goes too random in good threads, especially when someone asks a calc question and then spam comes in x.x, and if a thread gets too spammish and I can't stop it I lock it.

For intro section if it gets too spammish I usually disable post counting there for a while.

I actually found this forum through Nikky, believe it or not. ;) He and I had just gotten hired at ticalc.org and I had decided to begin work on splitting up various overgrown directories in the archives into additional categories. After a couple of weeks Nikky sent me an email saying it looked like people were noticing my work, with a link to a topic DJ Omnimaga posted about it. When I looked around, I saw a couple of calc-related topics and comments about ticalc.org that I was able to reply to so I registered and did that.

Until that point I hadn't really been aware of other calculator forums/sites besides the message boards on ticalc.org. Since activity there had been dwindling in recent years, I got the idea that I should look around for these forums and watch them for interesting calc topics as well as questions and feedback about ticalc.org that people often don't tell the staff directly (in the past it seemed that the ticalc.org staff usually didn't respond to public queries like this, and I felt it would be nice to change this). So this drew me toward spreading out and looking at other forums (and eventually IRC).

This topic is an interesting subject for me. Not because I can say something about how I found Omnimaga, but because I cannot say anything that definitive about it.

DJ Omnimaga says I might be the second oldest currently "active" member, dating back to when it first arrived on the (now abandoned) yAronet. I didn't really catch onto the whole posting thing on Omnimaga until this brand new board popped up. At that time, I've been roaming around the IRC chatroom scene, but got serious when I found it on the Dragon-Fire network (it's now on the EFNet network due to server problems and other issues on DF).

I didn't really pay attention to Omnimaga until recently more or less because I then thought of it as a novelty (no offense, DJ). Now, I find it as serious, if not moreso than, any of the other communities (except the rickrolls. Now THAT is funny stuff). It's just that kind of environment that sort of draws people in, and I feel like this is the perfect place for me to work on and discuss project-related material, even if it's only my own projects.

If it weren't for this place, I don't know where I would've been with calculator development. Here, it's that special place for my currently-on-hold Calculator Danmaku (CaDan) project and my work-in-progress Escheron: Shadow over Ragnoth (E:SoR) currently being developed by both me and Zera. E:SoR, being an RPG, makes Omnimaga an especially perfect place to have discussions about it.

In the end, I may not know exactly what it is that brought me here, but I do appreciate the fact that this place exists and that the community around here is such a good one.

I think I remember you were quite active for a while on the old board too. IIRC your post count was in the 100-200s. However it was mostly late 2007 IIRC. I think you posted about Celtic II and another project, but I forgot which.

I found it from many links from UTI, which I had first joined w/the intent of getting a couple files. Didn't stay that way though... :)

The URL was carved on a truck-stop restroom stall, along with the message, "For a good time, visit www.omnimaga.org"

I was hoping for some anonymous sex, but I guess I'm not completely disappointed. :-\

someone on TIBD mentioned it. found TIBD through a friend at school who showed me how to make a program (even if all it did was sum the numbers of 1-100)

Found it after leaving Cemetech due to... issues I'd rather not restart between me and, well cemetech.

I found Cemetech after a link on DetachedSolutions, I think

I found DetachedSolutions after googling for random MOS crashes

I found MOS after googling for ticalc's and finding ticalc.org

I got my first TI-83(non plus) from a garage sale for $2 when I was 12, and that's why I first started googling for TI stuff.
I got a TI-83 and a TI-86. I've since lost both.

I completely forgot how I found Omnimaga... I remember that I found Cemetech when searching for more info about DCS, but I have absolutely no idea of how I found Omnimaga. Does anyone remember when I first started posting?

I actually don't remember where I originally found the link to Omnimaga...I did come across the link to here on several different sites I believe, so it could have been almost anywhere at all on the internet that got me here originally.
