It's actually a long story. If you want the ADHD shortened form, it's this: I saw a reference to the site while I was lurking at SDN (stardestroyer.net) If you want the background here it is. I founded alt.startrek.vs.starwars in 1997 because the debate was clogging up alt.startrek and rec.arts.sf.starwars.misc. Almost every web board about Trek or Wars is an offshoot of those three Usenet groups. Mike Wong left ASVS (alt.startrek.vs.starwars) in 2002 to start his own board stardestroyer.net. Wong was always my nemesis, so I never bothered much at his board. I preferred the anarchistic Usenet over his controlled and one sided environment. (Which has gotten even more locked down over the years) As Usenet declined, most ASVSers either moved over to his board, or went elsewhere. A few of us still post the occasional thread there. Earlier this year, I decided to post at SDN again as a favor to an old friend. I quickly remembered why I hated the place, and decided leave again. But while I was there, I noticed a reference to this site. So I decided to check it out. I signed up under the name Dirk Funk instead of the name I used at ASVS and everywhere else for the last 12+ years: Tyralak. Mostly because I wasn't sure of the place, and didn't want to use my usual name. Doesn't much matter to me now. (I've since signed up at rEFCL and LoNAF under the name Tyralak) I decided to stay, because the dynamic here was so similar to early ASVS. Which is highly ironic, given ASVS's attitude toward trolls. Anyway, that's basically it. Probably way more than you wanted to know.

In my castle overlooking my subjects, of course.
No you should have Asian water monitors instead.

Outstanding idea. I wonder if crocodiles are more expensive.
You can get Water monitors usually less than a $100 for hatchlings depending on where you go. There are also Crocodile Monitors that are mean as hell dont know the price though.
