Well, my nationality is Singaporean, though I still belong to the Chinese ethnic group. Chinese here tend to distant themselves away from the mainland Chinese, and see themselves as different (much like the Taiwanese).Originally Posted by Animeniax
I look dark? You should see me when I was back in cadet school. You might have thought I was indian or pakistani.

Well I don't think you are dark, but darker than typical mainlanders, though some of them are just very pale yellow.
I know some Nepalese and most of them tread the line between Indian/Pakistani and yellow. They speak a similar language to the Indians/Pakistanis, so I count them as browns.
I guess it's like being American then, where we are all American by nationality, but different ethnicities. Weird, I never knew it was like that in some of the Asian countries too.

Where the dreamer and his dream?”
It really shows a site has got some history when out of nowhere appears somebody with over 1600 posts yet who already stopped visiting more than a year before I even registered here...
Welcome back in any case. There should be still around more than a handful of names you might recognize.
Otlichno! Ya radilas v Canade. Ya izuchayu russki yazik v universitete.
I've actually only studied Russian officially for a couple semesters, so I'm not terribly great at it yet. I'm hoping to go to Russia next year though and become more fluent.
Hey KitKat, I think you were around back in the day when I was active. How have you been?
Heya Power, I think I actually joined right about the time you disappeared. At least, judging by your post history, you made exactly one post after I joined, back when I was a complete forum noob *grins* In the "Tell something about the above poster game" thread no less, that I just got really nostalgic after reading again (since that was the thread where Terra learned I was a girl, and Assassin learned I went to the same school as him).
I've been pretty awesome though. Doing lots of stuff like graduating school, working, going back to school, and watching anime nearly constantly through all of it. Hopefully we'll see you back around here more frequently now.
Hello people!
I have been lurking for a bit on these forums, and I finally decided to join in.
Someone gave me a message or something in my control panel saying I should introduce myself here... But I don't really know what to say so...
Name's Lisa, hope we get along
Welcome to Gotwoot, Lisa.
Like you, I was a lurker for quite some time before finally deciding to sign up, and I haven't looked back since then. Hope to hear more from you!

Thanks for the welcome! I'm liking it here so far.
Yay!! It's a girl!
Haha... Are we really that rare? Anyway, thanks for the welcome!

Looks like the work of a spambot to me. Of course, so does most of Abdula's posts.Hi Lisa, Welcome to GW.

Anyway, welcome staffcc.
Can you other people please stay in character when welcoming new people?

That is a fact, but that is actually just what I saw when I signed in yesterday. No editing or anything.
What do you mean by, in character?
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
Call people by their handle or callsign. So it'd be "welcome staffcc." Not "welcome Lisa."

Well she did mention her name and since we are welcoming her, then using her name would be more personal and should make her feel more comfortable, hopefully anyway.

i sure would feel more comfortable if people used my name!
...oh wait.
welcome staffcc
