Hi all!
Whether you're new to NiteSciFi, or have been with us since it was called "NiteShdw" (I really do miss that name...), it would be great to hear a bit about who you are, what sci-fi you watch, and how you found us!
Here's a bit about me to give you some ideas. You definitely don't need to go into any detail. 🙂
What's with the username, TFMF?
a.k.a. The Fantastic Mr Fox
I actually think NiteSciFi was the first community I registered on where I needed to come up with a username. Way back in 2003 I searched my room manically trying to find something that might help me think of something I could use. Somehow, I found a copy of Roald Dahl's "The Fantastic Mr Fox", and the abbreviation of that seemed like a good idea.
Outside the Internet...
Offline, I'm known as Jonathan (Mostly because it's my name. I know, insane.)
Other facts about me in real life:
I live in Scotland
I am getting far too close to hitting 30 years old.
I have 3 dogs and a bearded dragon
Favourite Sci-Fi?
I'd have to say Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
Favourite Non-Sci-Fi?
Very tricky.... there are a number of really strong shows I love:
The Crown
Game of Thrones
Sherlock
How did you find NiteSciFi?
Back in 2004 (I think?) I may have engaged in a little illegal torrent downloading .
The best place to do that was a small up-and-coming torrent site known as "NiteShdw's Star Trek Torrents". I actually don't remember how I found it - probably google - but I registered and downloaded away to my heart's content.
It probably took a good few months before I bothered posting on the forums, but it didn't take long after that to become addicted and rack up a sizable post count. After some time, I eventually became moderator of the Stargate forums (Which was just the best thing ever at the time).
Shortly after that, another moderator and I approached the owner of the forums about taking over admin responsibilities. Many years and many more reincarnations of the forum since - and here we are.
Feel free to ask me anything, and don't forget to introduce yourself!
