from what i gather NCNE stands for no certification, no education which is the commonly agreed upon acrynom.....

it was put after a member's name Russ, becuase he was sick of people who were putting useless certs after their name that did not mean anything? and he told people it stood for novell engineering something.....i know theres more, but most posts are locked.....

Lets hear from NSF4....fom the days when he was NSF3 on the old forums if i am correct?

Butter -> R.I.P. Nowheremom -> WombatWoman's exodus -> Russ/Golden Guppy/Golden Bear/Locutus of Board all leave -> N.ef gets banned -> DessertCart -> OMGAIEEEOHNOESNOOO!!1!11 -> MiataGirl = a guy -> Jerboy -> KEI becomes ATOT obsession -> Texmaster gets banned -> Jerboy gets banned -> sta.b her gets banned -> D.HITB -> Private topics gets the ban -> f.ap. -> Nef Fest 2004 -> Grasshopper gets banned -> That guy's asian girlfriend who he used to always post until he broke up with her - > Spider -> Wdauqnauq -> Stick out your left hand -> I'm too lazy to finish

And friggen fuse talk won't identify the banned word(s)...

MacBaine is pretty recent, but definitely a very historical moment.

I'm searching for, but not finding, a topic Red Dawn made a few years ago, about A Tale Of AnandTech, or something like that. Once upon a time type story that was a real hoot. I may have it on my PC, but no luck so far.

I did find a 7.6MB HTML file of a topic created by Kayes on Nov/28/1999 11:37 AM, called AnandTech Members Directory.htm It would take forever to upload right now, and I gotta hit the sack. I'll put it up tomorrow if there's any interest...

IN THE BEGINNING, Chrisms created the Anand and the Tech. 2 And the Anandtech was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Chrisms moved upon the face of the site. 3 And Chrisms said, Let there be forums: and there were forums. 4 And Chrisms saw the forums, that it was good: and Chrisms divided the light from the darkness. 5 And Chrisms called the light Off Topic, and the darkness he called P&N.
