Not that many people here know me, but I thought Iโd announce that Iโve changed my SDMB username from **Stryfe** to **Walker in Eternity** (Doctor Who reference).
I just felt that I no longer wanted to be named after a Marvel Comics villain.
Hereโs to many more years of posting, hopefully.

Wow. Fewer than 500 posts in five years?!? How does that happen? I could rack up that many in my sleep! ๐
Maybe you should have changed your name to **InvisiDoper**.
Seriously, dude, unlike a lot of us, you must have like, a real life or something. Knock it off.
You will be assimilated.

I let my membership lapse for a couple of years and just lurked. Plus I only get involved in threads I hope I can contribute to.
Thanks for the response. Will try to up my post count in the next few weeks.

We must never speak of it.
If word gets out, the boards could. . .
Well, letโs just say that it has something to do with what happened last weekend.
Shhhhhhhh.

Walker in Eternity is a blabbermouth compared to me.

Not very wise, then, drawing attention to yourself by pointing it out, is it?
Hmmmmm. We are at this very moment plotting your assimilation.
