So what happened to the '2' after your name, FrimCorn? Are you now too pretentious for such a lowly number? Was it the connotations with fecal matter? Possibly you dislike the ordinal position of '2', considering your self numero uno? Maybe '2' treated you badly? PLease do tell.

There was another Frimkron on DIV-Arena before he came, or he messed his first account up and needed a second?

He messed up his first accoun by forgetting the password and obvioulsy didn't think about resetting the password.

Why I remember this and not important things I don't know.

No no no. You see it's like this: Back in 1989 myself and several ex-soviet neuro-physisists were carrying out some research for corporate software giant Microsoft. We were performing a remote viewing experiment using a young chimp under the influence of LSD. The chimp was shown images of Apple founder Steve Jobs while sat infront of a computer keyboard, and the results of the chimp's seemingly random thrashing at the keys would later be converted to binary and mapped out as a bitmap for further analysis.

I remember on this one occasion, my colleague Borris had failed to engage the lock which kept the chimp's keystrokes from closing the recording application. No sooner had the experiment begun when the chimp had hit a combination of alt and f4, closing the program and giving it free reign over the operating system. The chimp's random actions openned the experimental web browser we had also been working on and some random typing in the address bar saw the computer connect to an obscure little website orbiting a small yellow sun at the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the internet - a site called "The D-Four Computer TV Games Making Studio Make Your Own Games And Amaze Your Family And Friends Dot Com".

The high little chimp didn't stop there - before we could stop it, it had made its way to the BBS and was proceeding to type something into the username field of the new user registration page. Vladimir was about to stop it when we realised that what it was typing didn't seem random at all... "Frimkr" it had typed. We let it continue. "Frimkron 2" it got to. But before it had finished, it had hit the enter key with its tail. An action which, under the intended experimental conditions, would simply have started a new line.

Alas, a user profile was created on the BBS named "Frimkron 2" and the full message the simian would have plucked from its subconcious was lost forever. The funding for the project was cut 12 months later having yeilded no meaningful results and I continued to visit the forum using the "Frimkron 2" username under the guise of a lonely bedroom coder to cover our tracks. Interestingly, translating "Frimkron 2" into a bitmap using the sequence our team were using produces the following image:



Sadly we can only speculate as to what the remainder of the image would have been and what the meaning of the message could possibly be. So, these days I tend to shorten "Frimkron 2" to just "Frimkron". It just sounds nicer, that's all.

The chimp eventually returned and became Gamemaker.

Quoting Frimkron:

Ooooh, is that all...I see Frimkron.

Anyway I got the moral of the story. Never give a 5 year old boy a monkey to experiment with or a dog called Borris to assist him.
