FIRST CHAT
(08:15:43 PM) mib_h4b7bw [Mibbit@hidden-lkbc25.irvnca.pacbell.net] entered the room.
(08:15:55 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Hai.
(08:18:04 PM) Gabi: Hi.
(08:18:10 PM) Gabi: Who are you?
(08:18:42 PM) mib_h4b7bw: According to this I'm mib_h4b7bw.  O.o
(08:19:05 PM) Gabi: I can see that. What's your TPM name?
(08:19:18 PM) mib_h4b7bw: I don't have an account.
(08:19:36 PM) mib_h4b7bw: I'm kinda lurking around, trying to find an active Pokemon site.
(08:19:58 PM) Gabi: Oh! What kind of activity are you looking for?
(08:21:06 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Nothing in particular. I'm just surprised there are still Pokemon forums around.
(08:21:57 PM) Gabi: As long as people want to talk, the forums will be there. And Pokemon games and events keep coming out.
(08:22:40 PM) mib_h4b7bw: True...the weird thing is, I was around when Wi-Fi battling was super popular, then it kind of died out for some reason.
(08:23:08 PM) Gabi: I don't even have a DS... but I may get one in June.
(08:23:32 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Oh yeah? So I guess you just wanna talk about Pokemon, eh?
(08:24:22 PM) Gabi: I thought you came here looking for an active Pokemon site. But we can talk about other things if you want.
(08:24:51 PM) Gabi: And there's a lot of activity on TPM which isn't even Pokemon-related.
(08:25:52 PM) mib_h4b7bw: I was looking for that. I actually had a Pokemon site 3 years ago and for some reason I woke up this morning motivated to make a website.
(08:26:13 PM) Guest51681 is now known as Telume
(08:26:19 PM) Gabi: Hi, Telume.
(08:26:22 PM) mib_h4b7bw: I kinda wanna experiment with web design. But anywho, I was mainly checking how active the Pokemon community is.
(08:27:04 PM) Gabi: I know a number of Pokemon forums which are still active.
(08:27:14 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Oh yeah?
(08:27:25 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Google mostly showed me the dead ones. xD
(08:28:03 PM) Gabi: Then I must thank Google for at least including TPM in its results.
(08:28:32 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Hahaha...yeah. I kinda had to look really deep into google just to find this one. -_-
(08:28:50 PM) Gabi: I wonder why it did that. What exactly were you looking for?
(08:29:05 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Pokemon Wi-Fi Forums.
(08:29:12 PM) mib_h4b7bw: That was the keyword I used
(08:30:01 PM) Gabi: Try pokemon forums.
(08:30:23 PM) Gabi: Or pokemon message board.
(08:31:05 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Can't find it. P:
(08:31:14 PM) Gabi: Can't find what?
(08:31:29 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Nvm, I misunderstood.
(08:33:21 PM) mib_h4b7bw: So what do you do?
(08:33:41 PM) Gabi: What do I do in which sense?
(08:33:50 PM) mib_h4b7bw: At the forums
(08:33:52 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Mod?
(08:33:58 PM) Gabi: I'm an admin.
(08:34:00 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Or member?
(08:34:05 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Owner?
(08:34:58 PM) Gabi: Not quite an owner, I have more power over the forums than mods and supermods, but I have no access to the server files nor the database.
(08:36:08 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Oh nice. Pretty high up there.
(08:36:16 PM) mib_h4b7bw: And in the real world?
(08:37:18 PM) Gabi: Hold on. Phone.
(08:37:26 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Okie!
(08:40:50 PM) Gabi: I teach at university, and I'm going for a PhD in computer science.
(08:41:05 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Oh wow....
(08:41:10 PM) mib_h4b7bw: What a coincidence.
(08:41:17 PM) Gabi: You too?
(08:41:19 PM) mib_h4b7bw: I'm majoring in computer science as well.
(08:41:26 PM) Gabi: Nice!
(08:44:25 PM) mib_h4b7bw: That's pretty cool though.
(08:47:10 PM) Gabi: My brother is majoring in computer science too. And he's also on TPM.
(08:48:06 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Oh really? Is he also an admin?
(09:03:10 PM) Gabi: No, he's a regular member.
(09:03:21 PM) Gabi: Sorry for the late reply, I had to feed my cat.
(09:03:49 PM) mib_h4b7bw: It's okay. :p
(09:09:28 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Hmm, so I think I might actually join.
(09:09:42 PM) Gabi: :)
(09:12:46 PM) Gabi: I wonder what name you will choose. Or will you sign up as mib_h4b7bw?
(09:13:05 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Haha, no.
(09:13:14 PM) mib_h4b7bw: I think that would be a rather creepy name.
(09:13:24 PM) Gabi: I guess. No one's done that before.
(09:14:03 PM) mib_h4b7bw: You don't think it's creepy? P:
(09:14:37 PM) Gabi: I don't know if creepy is the word I would use. I think it's weird, and quite impersonal.
(09:14:49 PM) Gabi: But it's the name you're using here.
(09:15:13 PM) mib_h4b7bw: To me it sounds like an anonymous kind of name, you know?
(09:15:19 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Like no identity.
(09:16:05 PM) Gabi: Yes, it's anonymous. Until people start getting to know you.
(09:16:26 PM) Gabi: Like most online names, except this one is more clearly meant to be anonymous.
(09:16:50 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Pretty much.
(09:17:01 PM) Gabi: So why didn't you choose a name when you joined the chat?
(09:17:24 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Ehhhhh, just in case someone would recognize me.
(09:18:07 PM) Gabi: So you were specifically trying to hide your identity. Now THAT is creepy.
(09:18:54 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Hahaha, I wouldn't say that specifically! More like.. I'm just trying to be anonymous, gosh!
(09:19:18 PM) Gabi: Why?
(09:20:29 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Hmmm.
(09:20:39 PM) mib_h4b7bw: So Gabi, where do you reside?
(09:20:55 PM) Gabi: Buenos Aires, Argentina. And you?
(09:21:46 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Oh, estas bien lejos.
(09:22:26 PM) Gabi: Eso supongo. Por tu ISP parece que estás en Norteamérica, pero no respondiste mi pregunta.
(09:22:48 PM) Telume: They're in Cali :p
(09:23:07 PM) Telume: Probably somewhere in or near Irvine, California
(09:23:22 PM) Gabi: Ah, so that's what irvncal meant!
(09:23:31 PM) Telume: irvinca**
(09:23:34 PM) Gabi: Yes.
(09:23:34 PM) Telume: there's no l
(09:23:36 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Hahaha.
(09:23:41 PM) mib_h4b7bw: I use VPN.
(09:23:43 PM) Gabi: I know, it was a typo. :P
(09:23:49 PM) mib_h4b7bw: So not close, my friend. P:
(09:24:18 PM) Gabi: And no second i either, so we both mistyped it.
(09:24:57 PM) Gabi: OK, so where are you? You asked me and I replied, now it's your turn.
(09:26:16 PM) Gabi: Are you trying to be creepy?
(09:26:28 PM) Telume: Who?
(09:26:34 PM) Gabi: mib_h4b7bw.
(09:27:38 PM) mib_h4b7bw: How am I trying to be creepy?
(09:28:10 PM) Gabi: First you don't want people to recognize you, then you ask me where I live but refuse to answer the same question yourself.
(09:29:03 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Hahaha, I think you're incriminating me in a way.
(09:29:13 PM) Gabi: I'm only stating the facts.
(09:29:30 PM) Gabi: You can correct me by answering the question.
(09:29:34 PM) mib_h4b7bw: You're making me sound creepy by assuming all these creepy things. Hahahaha
(09:29:54 PM) Gabi: I'm not assuming anything. It is exactly what you have done.
(09:30:32 PM) mib_h4b7bw: -_- Uhhh, whatever floats your boat, ms. gabi.
(09:31:11 PM) Gabi: >_>
(09:32:02 PM) Gabi: OK, I'll be AFK for an hour or so. If you decide to be less creepy in the meantime, I'll find out when I check the log.
(09:32:20 PM) You are now known as Gabi|AFK
(09:32:30 PM) mib_h4b7bw: I'll probably not be here by the time you get back.
(09:32:40 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Anyways, it was lovely talking!
(09:33:02 PM) Gabi|AFK: Same here... except for the creepy part.
(09:33:15 PM) mib_h4b7bw: Haha, you know you loved it. (;

SECOND CHAT
(08:06:06 PM) mib_8jsncn: Hai.
(08:10:55 PM) Gabi: Hi.
(08:11:06 PM) mib_8jsncn: Oh hey you!
(08:11:16 PM) Gabi: Are you the same mib as before?
(08:11:41 PM) mib_8jsncn: I take it that not many mib come in the chat?
(08:11:52 PM) Gabi: That is correct.
(08:12:07 PM) mib_8jsncn: But yeah, same mib. P;
(08:12:10 PM) Gabi: Which means having the default name won't make you any less identifiable.
(08:12:34 PM) mib_8jsncn: Har har, sure it does!
(08:12:52 PM) mib_8jsncn: I don't have an official identity.
(08:13:06 PM) Gabi: What is an official identity?
(08:13:32 PM) mib_8jsncn: Like... for example.. Gabi is your official "identity" in the forum/
(08:13:47 PM) Gabi: Not really, Gabi is not my username on TPM.
(08:14:10 PM) mib_8jsncn: Hmmm, what is it?
(08:14:17 PM) Gabi: I'm not telling you.
(08:14:27 PM) mib_8jsncn: lolol why not?
(08:14:33 PM) Gabi: Because you're creepy.
(08:14:42 PM) mib_8jsncn: Pshhh, makes sense. :o
(08:14:48 PM) Gabi: :)
