Awesome sauce I gots me a thingy! Thanks :heart
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Hey. I don't know how you'd verify this or whatever, but...

I was registered and regularly posted as a forum member at www.dreamtheater.net back in '02/'03 when the theme was 6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence.  I think this picture was in the theme somewhere: https://neo1984.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/dream_theater.jpg
And there were all the doodlings from the album in the theme on the sides of the bulletin board and such. It's been a while.
is Dt.net  the same as dreamtheater.net?

My name there was HugeFanOfJohn   

I was there for a while... I think sometime around the release of Systematic Chaos, the forum just kinda disappeared on me, and I didn't know that another one started.  So I've been spending all my forum time over at the Mike Portnoy forum.

Did it look like this?

https://web.archive.org/web/20030810112530/https://www.dreamtheater.net/bb/

Yeah.   wow.. takin me back to old times there, lol.   Looks like I got the picture wrong though. I knew it was one of those two famous band shots from the 6 Degrees era.

is that dreamtheater.net bb the same as what ya'll referrin to as DT.net?

Aw. cool.   

The best time at the old board was when everybody was trying to figure out Nuggetz from Octavarium.

One person even suggested that, based on the blue-print of the octagon, Sacrificed Sons is actually where the album begins.  Thus making Never Enough the last song.    Ummm. wierd.

Looks like I don't have a membergroup, but I was a dt.net member (I miss out by two weeks for what is considered a dt.net veteran). Or does my user title overwrite that bit?

Although now that dt.net has a forum back, it doesn't seem like so much of an important membergroup. :neverusethis:

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Why are some people's actual stars and others asterisks?  That's been bugging me for a while.

Looks like alt text for a missing image to me. It's even got the little image box around it (at least, in my browser)

It's a theme thing.  In SMF Core you yourself display as ****. 
Blob has 3x
Switching to one of the new themes,  Wasteland has 4 proper green stars,  and Blob has 3 yellow squares.  I wanna get my stars and have them be green clovers.

The one thing that still doesn't pan out is that in my usual SMF Core,  plenty of other people with 4 stars have them display properly.  In one  thread,  Yorost had the 4 proper yellow stars, and Cool Chris two posts above him had 4 asterisks.  There's something about different about the way those two are configured [insert crude joke here].

Ah that explains it. I've always used the default SMF theme (which only 6 people are using), so it's no wonder that little things like that go unnoticed.

Yorost is a DT.net veteran (Round since 02~04) and has such has 4 yellow stars ( yellow squares in the default theme ). I donated and as such was included in the alumni group (4 green proper stars and green name). :tup

I feel like a complete attention whore for posting in a thread where the last post was more than half a year ago, but fuck that.

I would like one bar/star/whatever, Misters Mods, please. I joined February this year.

Scorp, the bars are actually based on your history in the DT/DTF community and not on your join date.  The stars are for the peeps who donate to help keep DTF running.

Someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong on this.

DTF.org Member - first joined and participated in the community at the current site, after the Board Split
DTF.org Member - 1 star

That's what I was going with. I registered on the current board, I think.

If I understood that wrongly, then I'm sorry.
