Welcome back to Omnimaga! (Though I haven't the slightest idea who you are )

Welcome back to Omnimaga! (Though I haven't the slightest idea who you are )

calcdude84se...you sound familiar.
...
...I got nothing.

So I assume avatars and sigs and stuff only become available after so many posts, correct?

Hey, Pokemon Purple! http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=62.0
This is like a one-sided family reunion!

Hi, it is effectively a new board. It was restarted from scratch on August 25th 2008 (although the re-opening itself was never announced anywhere.)

I am a bit curious who you might be, actually. Unless you were ever banned on this incarnation of Omnimaga (meaning after the actual August 25th 2008 date, since all the forum-based bans from the Invisionfree/ZB forums were reset at the time), welcome back. I still remember the Calchaven board. I was active there for a while, then something happened, but I don't remember. Then they moved to IPB and it slowly died. As for Omnimaga, I'm happy that things went back on track around 2009. We didn't have much issues since then and it seems people are focusing again on calc development (if you check ticalc.org, you'll notice the increase in featured programs, even if we exclude the 3 programs from years ago). As for the site activity, it went up quite a bit compared to the old board, although it was a bit higher a few months ago, since a bunch of people are away with no internet right now

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay and contribute to the community

And yeah Calcdude84se is a different person. Calc84maniac is still around. He was the guy who made that basic raycaster as well as grayscale minesweeper. Now he made a Gameboy emu for the 84+ and a GBC one for the Nspire. He was working on a Mario and F-Zero clone, but I'm not sure if those are still alive. I remember we also had a member called Calc84 in the very last days of the old Invisionfree board (Calc84maniac uses his nickname on IRC).

Btw, our apologies for the inconveniences of not being able to use avatars until you reach 1 post (excluding Intro/Randomness) or any profile editing. It is a spambot protection, as bots kept putting porn links in their sig, potentially harming curious members who might click. For sending PMs you need 5 posts and the chatroom 20 (although you can just use IRC and connect to #omnimaga on EFnet). The intro and randomness sections have post counts disabled because people abused them to raise their post count and later boasted about them.

DJ Omnimaga! Hello! I assure you it's been years since I've been here.

Honestly, I'd rather not be associated with my old name for (1) it's a terrible name that younger me thought was a good idea and (2) after taking a look at what immature me had to say on CalcHaven I just want to leave that behind. New name, new me, y'know?

Now I could've sworn there was a user named *something*84se.

Calc programming...I was doing an exploration-RPG-ish thing in Basic when I left, but that totally fell through. Bit off a bit more than I could chew, I suppose.
I've just been making little mini games during math class, button mashers and hangman and whatnot. Considering I've got some free time the rest of the summer and pretty much already did the first half of my Calc class this upcoming term I might start a new project. I'm giving it some thought.

As for the mysterious 84se, looks like I'm just misremembering. It's not like 84 SE is an uncommon term around here.

Welcome here! Hope you enjoy your stay. You should find ztrumpet's Homescreen Game Pack thread and maybe post some of those mini games and maybe he might find them useful Can't wait to see what ya come up with.

Indeed.
Welcome back.
