Yes, we the Galactor will have our way in the end. Who can resist the power and fabulousness of our organization with such well dressed tranny leadership and such a resourceful alien overlord?

Look! This new member actually starts and participates in topics!
Heh. Sniffing exhaust fumes, eh? I myself prefer Magic Markers (they really are magical!).
Anyways...
Welcome to the board! We not only talk about the coolest anime ever, we *are* the coolest board on the coolest anime ever. Feel free to bask in our glory. ^_^

After Elvin's wonderful intro its hard to match that so I will just say....
Welcome!
Tell us a bit about yourself
*looks around for Imicondor*
It is safe to do that at the moment

Hi Elvin Ruler and Firebird! Glad to meet you. Yes, I'll take you up on the glory basking! 
Who or what is Imicondor?
Hmm...what to reveal about myself?Alright you asked for it....
I'd say I'm a novice Gatchaman fan at best, who was introduced to the series as BOTP when Sandy Frank transmuted it over to the U.S.. (I'd love to one day see the other international dubbs like "Commando Hefe") I started collecting Gatchaman stuff maybe 5 years ago? However, I've still yet to see the complete first series. The HK pirates that I have don't even go up to the episode where Berge Katse finally kills himself. I think the "Chinglish" subtitles are going to kill me first. 
Okay, here's the part where you folks may decide whether or not I'm worthy of being here...I confess that I do have an alterior motive. Hey, I'm a Galactor after all.
I'm currently enrolled in a storyboarding course and I've decided for my final project to commit one of the gravest sins upon humanity and have the audacity of making my own contemporary amateurish revamping of Gatchaman in the form of what some call an "animatic" or "board-o-matic". Basically still storyboard shots synced up with sound. It'll most likely be completed more as a 1-2 minute trailer-ish type of thing.
Anyway, as part of research I thought I should find the experts with the informational resources and why I'm partially here besides being a participant in *the coolest message board* on earth. I promise to give consenting credit where it is due on my project, but if it comes out sucky you may not want to have any association with it. 
Plus, I'm not planning on making any money off of it as I wouldn't want to incurr Tatsunoko lawsuits or death threats from fellow fans. 
For the time being, thank you all for the warm welcomings and I hope to be able to make some contributions in the way of fan artwork and general dialogues.

I dunno, folks -- he seems almost too nice for this place.
But Fanfic? FanArt?
Do we warn him about the mobs that will be after him, begging for more?

Ooooooooh. That sounds cool, actually. Very nice ulterior motive, there.
Imicondor is another member who is also known as Imaqtz, Imi, and other names beginning with the letter "I." She seems, however, to be busy with her new responsibilities that she recently acquired. If she shows up, depending on your morals you will either need to run away or run toward her. Like I said, it depends on you. ^_~

Boy, get too busy, miss a few days of forum reading and bang, some new member shows up. And it's one for the galactor team.
Hi Galactor, welcome to the insanity.
And being the resident art teacher - markers can be good

You'll believe differently after the exhaust fumes and magic markers as everyone is suggesting.
Somehow the colors look more vibrant though not necessarily better. The first one is free kids. Heheh.| quote: | |

Evil is soooo in right now like unilateral invasions, supporting and then backstabbing ruthless dictators, oil companies, and reality tv shows. It is way more fun, imaginative and easy to wreck the world than to save it surely. Muahaha!
A promise is a promise. Blandish enough?
Posted by Yuki on 16-10-2004 at 03:35:
Oh.. a new.. toy.. eh.. member to play with??
*chuckles* Nifty.. Now.. where is that backroom where Imicondor used to ...eh.. familiar.. the newbies with the board... you know the 'Frisking Room'?
Heh.. Welcome Galactor.. this is a ultra cool board on an ultra cool anime..
Have fun and don't be shy, k? You'd find some of us a bit nuts.. but as long as we continue our Prozac treatment.. you should be safe..
*Mooohaaahhhaaaaa*

Imicondor is our resident frisker.
Imi checks each new member for many different criteria including where their allegiance lies.
I am sure you will meet up at some point.

Oh Im certain of it Fb.
leans against the doorway of the Frisking Room, slowly travelling gleaming narrowed eyes over the-galactor in cool appraisal of this newbie, ghost of an amused smirk playing on face,
Youre to be commended on your lovely introduction, and your contribution to the site , sharing your wiriting and artistic talents with us. I think you have already found many likeminded and as friendly people equally as eager to admire and help you with your project as you are to present it to your storyboard class. Im sure you would have signed on that dotted line, Cepster would have handed you, giving up your right to ever sleep again, as creativity , inspiration , and sheer madness overtakes you once you come in here ( not to mention the pheremones a fellow Galactor has instilled into your computer to forever addict you to this and other member sites).
There is no need to ascertain your affiliations to either ISO or Galactor as it has been made obviously clear where your allegience lies.
Without warning whips out cable gun gun firing it at the-galactor, cable wrapping itself around the near newbies waist, pulling her inside the Frisking Room. smirk transforms into an open grin
Shame no one let you know how partial I am to Frisking Galactor affiliates ( shame on you Meridian!). It makes the process of finding and confiscating your obligatory arsenal of Galactor issued hidden weaponry all that much more fun , while welcoming you to our site in our own little deviant unique way..
Welcome!
Grin gives way to an evil laugh as Frisking door is firmly shut beind them 
(now you know "who or what an ImiCondor is".)
