Hi there.
I'm Josh, a.k.a. Jozxyqk, formerly known as Legion on the newsgroup.
I was a regular here WAAAAY back in the days of CMA, Friday, Raz, ang,
aitchbee, dsn, epideme, Charles Daniels, the whole #starbug/#bluemidget
crew...
sorry if I offended you by missing your name :)

I see a guy named Garth posting here occasionally, who claims to be an "old"
atvrd poster, but I think he's from after my day.

Sooo, first of all, hi there! Feel free to say hello! :)

Anyway, I do still lurk here, and especially since there is new Red Dwarf out
there, I keep hoping that there will be actual traffic in the newsgroup.

So here's some actual on-topic content!

I run a blog, it's called http://blog.tornsignpost.com/ , rarely updated,
mostly gaming-related thoughts, but I have been branching out a bit.

I have posted a few cynical reviews of Red Dwarf X on there (including an
extended "who am I in relation to Red Dwarf?"), and you can feel free to read
those, but my latest "masterpiece" is really a callback to my old days when
I could write and write and write nonsense overanalysis posts.
It's a little story about how "Ouroboros" and "Fathers and Suns" can be
extended to the rest of the series.

Have a look:

Ooh, and I've made a slight edit, I forgot the conversation in Better than Life!
Work in progress, I guess!

You can still find me on IRC; I idle-for-no-reason on efnet, and I chat on
an unrelated channel on sorcerynet. Same handle, come say hello :)

Oh look, it's an old-timers' thread!

Just went looking through the archives in relation to a discussion about
Ancient Internet Things, saw this thread, couldn't resist installing a
newsreader and trying to remember how to use it...

I am still on the internet. If you Google me you will find lots of stuff.
How's everyone else? Now living in Canada, haven't seen anything since
series 8. By all accounts this is a good thing.
