Old in more than one way... (He's going to kill me now...)
He's not an active skinner anymore, but I know he's still got it in him. Once a skinner, always a skinner.You don't quit skinning - you die....
He is also one of the "leftover relics" from the legendary Skinz.org aka The Brown Site, and we've had many a good time both there and here on Wincustomize. Not just on the forum, but also on our IRC. I'd better not pull out the logs....
Anyway, a heartfelt birthday greeting from one old skinner to another.
Happy 51st birthday, Richard Flathman aka DaWebMassa
(He hasn't been on the site in a couple of years, but I'm sure that I can lure him over here by posting a link to this thread on his Facebook wall.)
OMG I can't believe my old login still works here!!
Ahhhh Snowman. I am so glad we kept in touch all these years! I remember some serious hysterics (laughing until I had tears in my eyes) and then some serious hysterics (wanting to kick some drama queens in the box.) Somewhere on my computer I have some of the IRC stuff saved. People would never guess that a bunch of semi-geeks could write the comedy gold we often did. And without a script, it was all off-the-cuff!
Every once in a while I pull up some of my old work and think, "I could have done that a little better. Why did I do it that way?" Seems anyone creative always questions themselves that way.
Anyway, sincere thanks to you brutha and when you get that package from me, DON'T OPEN IT. At least not in a public area.
I wanna get all mushy here but that would show my soft side and you know we can't have that.
Peace
OMG.. How HAVE you been? It is most excellent to know that you are still around. You spontaneously disappeared and I've often wondered of your well being.
In any regards, Happy Birthday old one!
Happy Birthday. Thanks for stopping by to celebrate.
Wow. Long time no see.
Happy Birthday Mr.
Wow, been going through some old threads... Has it really been THAT long? Holy crap time goes by fast.
Lotsa names that bring back a lot of good memories.
And I already see a few here that I remember. Wow you guys have been around skinning for a looooonnnggg time if I remember you. Thanks!

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!
In some cultures it's customary for the birthday boy to give gifts to guesets. So when can we expect a new DesktopX fish for our aquariums??
Happy Birthday, hope you have a great day
Speaking of Hippy, voo (the two maddest Scotsmen possible) and Chris (and a few more)....

I could dig out more, but I'd just piss myself laughing. Thanks for those good years, guys. Sadly gone, but certainly not forgotten.
Happy Birthday Dude!!! Now, go post here. Please. (How long have you been here thread.)
LMAO Snowman! Oh geez I need to see some more of those. It was fun when a noob popped in and was like "WTF this is a tech chat?"
Classic Mark: I'd show you all a pic of my girl, but I she's under the bed and I can't be bothered digging her out and inflating her for one picture.
Madeez... hey dude, ya good times for sure. Hippy was a freak on short call to the sanitarium.
Hell, dude... I've got about 6 or 7 years worth of logs.....
Minus the time I was 'away':
<@LickServ> Snowman: Snowman spoke 113 days, 4 hours, 47 minutes and 21 seconds ago in #stardock: brb - rebooting
