Hi YTQ860503, welcome to BAUT.

Your name really rolls off the tongue!

Your name really rolls off the tongue!

And it rolled right off the memberlist too

And it rolled right off the memberlist too

I saw it too. What happened.

[Artemisia]

Hi all. I've been listening to Astronomy Cast for ages and have just enrolled in Swinburne's online Masters so I thought I'd join up here so that I'll have someone to help me when I get stuck on my homework. :-)

Greetings... ellenjanuary, Gwynnite, and prophet of god...
I came here looking for Dark Matter... but simultaneity, information theory, and putting an end to the Inflationary Corollary are also of interest.

Although a rule about "substitution of symbols for swear words being banned" kinda worries me...

If you can keep it all in the eye of your mind and not express it at BAUT...you'd be fine.

I just joined, but I've lurked for a long time, so I've seen how things work. If you post for a while and people like you, you'll be able to get away with a lot, but given that you're new, I'd go back and edit the post where you did that.

Hi Artemisia, Arnold, and ellenjanuary, welcome to BAUT. Yes, the rules here can appear quite strict, but it does make for generally cordial conversations. Most of us view that as a major plus, and see that the requirements to watch our language, be nice and other rules are needed to prevent some of the nastiness you see on other boards. Getting away with infractions isn't a matter of being liked, but your behaviour in general can be a factor when the mods decide if a warning (PM or public) or a more severe punishment is in order.

I saw it too. What happened.

A spammer, most likely.

Hello. I am a new member, so I would like to introduce myself in this thread.

Cute Welcome, New Member.

Hi all. I've been listening to Astronomy Cast for ages and have just enrolled in Swinburne's online Masters so I thought I'd join up here so that I'll have someone to help me when I get stuck on my homework. :-)

Welcome aboard! I decided I wanted an Internet Masters in Astronomy but went with James Cook rather than Swinburne, so I'd be interested in hearing about your experiences.

[evilbill]

I'm Mike (bet I get called Bill a lot...) and this forum deprives me of a lot of sleep. Long time lurker, ashamed to admit I enjoy the ATM and Conspiracies forums as much as I do. (I don't ascribe to any, although I think an oscillatory universe is particularly elegant.) I look forward to joining (or starting) a discussion or at least ask a question or two.

[slang]

Mr. Gates? Is that you? Enjoy your continued stay, evilbill!

[Philippe Lemay]

Hello, my name is Philippe, people rarely call me Phil.

I'm 21, a French Canadian (but I'm super bilingual), am a student at University but I am currently taking a year off from studies to just work and save up money.

I've lurked a few times in threads here that were of interested to me, but it's only recently that I saw some where I really wanted to voice my opinion. So, since only members can post, I am going to try and join this little online community.

One of the main reasons I visit here is for my eternal quest to find realistic science. See... a while back I got into online roleplaying, thought it was fun, but nothing much was got out of it. I felt the continually conflicting approaches of all the authors to be too disruptive.

Lately though I've been moving more towards completely independent writing. Might even consider writing a few short stories. Anyway, one of my preffered genres is science fiction, and in my time roleplaying I've noticed that most pop-culture science fiction is woefully innacurate in a lot of points.

One of my main goals, if I do ever end up writing a story or a book, is to make my story as scientifically accurate as possible. I know that many experts and semi-scientists visit this site, so I do hope that people might be able to help me achieve that goal when I come here for help.

For example this thread here: http://www.bautforum.com/space-explo...-possible.html is the one which has attracted my attention lately.

Hi Philippe, welcome to BAUT.

In case you were wondering, your post was in the moderation queue (an anti-spam measure for relatively new posters) because of the link in it - even though the link is to our own forum. The software is pretty smart, but only up to a limit.

[Philippe Lemay]

I see, well thank you for that clarification. I was wondering why such a delay was needed.

Hi Spiritinthesky, related to the one on Mars? Welcome to the forum!

[Hungry4info]

Hey I'm Thomas. age 19. I love astronomy, especially extrasolar planets. Figured I'd finally post here =P.

[Swift]

Sorry, too late.

Welcome to BAUT Hungry4info. I think you already know your way around.

[MrkianJonhson]

Despite the lack of time lately, I hope to be an active participant in this forum!
A nice weekend for all!

MrkianJonhson I have moved your post here as this is the place where new members introduce themselves. Have fun and please remember to read the forum rules

A very warm welcome, MrkianJohnson. It's a great place to spend time.

I also wondered about that so don't feel too bad. In my head I was pronouncing it 'killoppy' and TBH thought it was some kind of D&D reference. My turn to .
