It is useful. I've looked mine up a few times before by doing a word search for my cat's unusual name (mentioned in the pet section). But it's impossible to find other's intros unless you remember something similar.


No it isn't impossible. Not knowing your pet's name I still found you easily enough with the Forum search function. I used "Spastic Minnow" as the author, "Meet ANN" as the keywords, limited search results to the Anime sub-Forum and listed results by posts instead of topics. There were only two results, one of which was your introduction.

Now, using Tris8's index would have been much, much faster, but it's not the only way.

Aw shucks guys, thanks. Discovering The King of Harts' afro made it worth it! Very Happy

@Tris8: Wow... that is really impressive. How long did it take to complete that list?
A couple hours a day for a week. Originally I was also going to bold user's names that were currently active on the forum, but when I got down to 'D', almost all the users on the list were active. Dis-including the Introductions with low post counts had eliminated almost all inactive users on the list.

Never mind the cupcake one receives when he/she posts an introduction, you deserve a cupcake party!
Actually, a cupcake store opened a couple months ago less than a mile away from my house. Cupcake party at my house? Very Happy

I went through and re-formatted a few things to make it feel a little spacier and more organized. I still have to put some crossbars between multiple entries, but other than that, if anyone else has suggestions, I can help edit, add, or change whatever needs it.

Tris, could you remove me from the listing? I deleted my Intro very shortly after posting it. Thank you.

@ Mylene
Done.

@ Psycho 101
Lol, if multiple entries indicates the "specialness" of a given user, I think TheKingofHarts wins Anime hyper He's got 5 entries!

I'm a subscriber, yet I don't have a green star next to my name. Sad face.

And wow, I edited my introduction over 600 times. I need to get a job.

This makes me want to finally get around to doing an introduction. Maybe I'll do it sometimes soon.
