Whew. There you go. Check for your name to see which generation you’re in (guess who has way too much time on her hands?).
Wow. I feel…young. And stoopud. _> -is a n00b-
Except im not sure about myself…(see crazey deeds 167-170)
second post?
Yeah…I’m in Generation 5 (I used to be “Clara”)
I’m Generation 2… w00t!! superior knowledge!!! no no just kidding, half of you are older than me anyways…
*sigh* Generation 5…
Yeah! Go Generation 0! I’m ancient. Sweet. I’m a relic from the First GaBoomBa, actually. I know all about the Museblog, and all the inside jokes from the FanPage. Oh yeah. Go me.
People might say, “DANG, generation 5!” but hay, at least you’re here. I am a generation 5, too. Ok, I wish I was a founding father/mother, but I’m not, so there.
4- w00t! gen. 5
hey!! what happened to my post!!!!
oh, i bet the server problems ate it. nvm. it was a stupid post, anyway.
generation 3 w00t w00t
well… not really
actually how i found this site was: i read the january muse. i said”wow. muse pwns. maybe there’s a fan site. i should search google for muse fan site.” that be me
I’m a generation 5!!!!!
One minor corection, pingus (plural of pingu) (so there is many of us) = penguini = Kororra
Thought everybody might want to know that!!!!
I’m a Generation 4, I guess. I cant believe that I wasn’t here til February! I feel like I’ve been here all my life, practically! Well, I think i’ve been on so much that I count as an old Blogger. I think that since I understand the Bloggers and we are such good friends that we are like one big happy virtual family spread all around the world. It’s so nice. Y’know, I consider you friends? Even though we’ve never met?
It would be sooooooo cool to meet, though
*convention*
No. If you were an old bloger, than i would be even older than you because ive been on for three weeks more than you. But does submiting numerous letters to the Fanmail(BEFORE the blog was up) Make me a generation zero? Cuz I was on there allmost every day a year or two ago….And i got most of my leteres posted too.
Oooh, definite spike there in Generation Five.
-wears shiny Generation One badge- What, this old thing? Oh, it’s nothing
I toatally would have posted on Gaboomba, but my mother wouldn’t allow it then. Sigh.
Hmmmmmmmm…
Well at least when there is a generation 6 I can go “HA YOU STUPID NEW PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!” and then they slap me and I go to seek theripy. Yeah Theripy!!!!!
Booo Gen6ers!!!!!! Boo! Hiss! Theripy!!
No, not them, not the British HOt Pink Bunnies!!!!!
PB&J, you’re a brit so I blame this on you.
Oww no not there, what are you doing with your tape, what do you mean this isnt gonna hurt…
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Wait yor with gen6 arent you SAVE YOURSELFS MUSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
w00t! Generation 1!!!
But then, we’re all musers he-*is pied by angry, masked members of Generation 0 who must protect their seniority if that’s how you spell it*
*pies ebeth*
Wow. Nice job, MG. I didn’t think anyone would actually do that, seeing as how this place seems to be a hot spot for procrastinators everywhere. We might as well hold PA (Procrastinators Anonymous) meetings here. Hi, my name is yesterday’s_kinked_moose and I procrastinate.
Other musers: Hi Moose.
So I’m generation 3, eh? Not too bad. Generation 5 is HUGE!
We can call them MontgomeryGurl’s children. Her letter to Muse Mail touched off the avalanche.
Yes. *bows to MG*
Generation 1! YAAY! Actually, I posted like once on the Gaboomba, but as a random clueless person who never came back, so I don’t really count as a 0-er. Gen. 1/2?
Heh. No. Generation 1 is fine with me. Hey, MG, how’d you decide on the dates?
FIRST GENERATION AND THE MOTHER OF ALL YOU FIFTH GENERATIONERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First Generation! ohhh! ^0^ ( and i kept an eye on the blog until the first post. xD i think that took a few days.)
Pentatonkikk (#23) I organized all the MuseBloggers in order of when they first started posting, and then I graphed all the dates on a line graph. Like, if two new people came on one day, that date was graphed at two. So by looking at how the line went up and down, spiked, and things like that, I was able to see the distinct wave patterns in how people came. I divided up the waves into generations. Simple as that.
3rd generation. I feel so……recent. But I’m with cool people like (randomly chosen) Cedar, Em, and Zallie.
I forget when the exact date was that i posted on here. somethin’ in october. maybe october 10?
5th gen. I DID NOT COME HERE BECAUSE OF MGS LETTER. I CAME HERE BECAUSE MY MOM SAID I SHOULD. its STEREOTYPYING AGAINST ANY 5THS WHO WOULD HAVE COME ANYWAY, REGARDLESS OF THE LETTER.
Generation6 is all of the people who arn’t up on the list
we should post the generations on the whos here list
Wow. MG, you do have too much time on our hands…
All right, MOST of the fifths are MG’s children. I’m guessing the nexxt newb gets to be the first sixth?
HAHAHAHA….I mean MUAHAHAHAHA….. I AM ALL POWERFUL!!!! i AM FROM THE SIXTH GENERATION AND ALL THE OTHERS (unfortunately) KNOW MORE THAN ME BUT ARE OLDER SO I AM ALL POWERFUL…. MUAHAHAHAHA….
Okay, now that should be filed under random craziness if anything…..
Gradster(1)
P.S. I’m glad people recognize that Gradster(1) = Kokopellic.
P.S.P.S. Guess why I chose kokopellic instead of kokopelli?
Aha… Aye am note een ze feefth generationz, so aye am note a child of ze… Wot yoo zay… MG of whoch yoo zpeak.
Gradster(1)
P.S. Okay I give up, I’m not french. But it was strange anyway…. IM CRAZY!!!!
I love being young! wow… i didn’t realize there were so many muse bloggers… thanks mongomerygurl!
Nythyr amm iy! iy camm here bycaus of dy MUSE contestt. I hopee I gyt into dy Magyzyne!!!
In translation: Neither am I. I came here because of the MUSe contest. I hope I get into the Magazine.
Hey! Generation 6!!!!!!!
Hi! I’ve been hiding my face for a while.
Check out my prophetic revelation about the gender of Pwt in Forward, March Part Two.(Don’t worry, it’s somewhere in there.)
I came here because of MG’s letter………thanks MG!!!!!!!!!!
I came because we recently upgraded from peoplepc dial-up to comcast high speed internet, so now I can actually surf the web, not spend more time waiting for pages to load than actually spending time at them.
Oh yes I’m in Generation 5 but I was inspired by the Muse contest. I caught a glimpse of the picture of the homepage and I decided to try it out.
24- yay thanx. and i can admit it.
Generation 0!!
of course, i came to the fan page a lot but i never really thought of blogging before then. especially because my emails kept getting bounced.
Me too. I loved the Fan Page, but I always read the other stuff. I remember when it was just the Gaboomba. I tried to go on once, but that was when we didn’t have hi-speed internet, so after like five minutes of loading i just gave up.
Generation 1!!!
I would have been a Gaboomba-er, but my dad had to check the site first and it took two weeks. By that time the Blog was up.
I REMEMBER…MOSTLY HARMLESS!!
Phoenix, catch up. Even I, a Generation 4, remember MOSTLY HARMLESS.
The Mostly Harmless bit was just something random I wanted to post…
Aahh.
“Remember”? It’s still unfolding!
I sent stuff to the fan page(on-line), and was on there quite often(way before the blog. I mean way, way before.) Does thet make me generation 0?
I lurked.
I was a lurker. Hence my name. Fortunately, i’ve been recently rehabilitated, although lately i’ve been having lapses…i read all those comments and then get Called Away before i can post (ok ok…put some down to sheer laziness then. If you must. But most of the time i get Called Away) Although i missed the first month of the blog, due to…um…i dunno i just didn’t get on for a while between them. Bad timing. *slap* Oh well.
;alsdkfj;alsdkjf;alsdkfja;sldkjf;alsdkjf;asldkfj;adkfj, =not a word.
I’ve been on thes blog for almost a month. I think two more days. Then I won’t be a newbie. When does generation 6 start.???I think it should start every two months, a new generation. YYAAAYY
When a new generation starts is not determined by a certain time period. When I graphed out the flux and flow of newbies, I was able to see wave patterns. Every wave was a new generation. So we can’t just sit here and say that a new generation has started, we have to watch the flow and see what happens over a period of time.
Can you send that graph of yours to a GAPA and ask if they can post it? I’d like to see.
Do you have any particular targets or are you stalking all of us?
I actually can’t send the graph in. I don’t have any way of getting it on my computer, or graphing it out on here. If you want to see it, you could graph it out somehow.
And actually, I’m just stalking everyone randomly.
You could send it to them the old-fashioned way, to the Q&A address. If the address will send stuff to the GAPA. Then they could scan it in to their computer and put it on the blog. I don’t know how they get the questions anyway. Maybe the editors send them to them.
Im a 5th gen. I came to the museblog because of the thing in the “contest winners’ of the feb. issue. If I had come about a week earlier I would be 4th gen, i think.
Good job MG! Its funny, when Mr. Coontz mentioned making a timeline of musebloggers, i totally thought “I bet MG will figure that out”
46- yeah, i remember those dark days
Come to think of it, I lurked too. Not to the museblog, but to muse itself. Ive been reading it forever and Ive never written to them *shivers with shame*… does that classify as lurking, or do I mistake the meaning?
0th generation! yay! This is almost like classes in school like ’08, ’07,’10 etc. What graduation class is everyone? I’m ’08.
I think that this is a great idea MG!
I’m ’09
0th generation, yay.
Of course, I’ve never written a letter to Muse either, although I had a letter that I wrote printed in there.
Figure that one out, everyone.
(see, what happened was after I got the mag about optical illusions, I wrote a long post about it to the Gaboomba, and I guess Robert fowarded it to the mag or something. If I’d known it would be printed, I’d have edited. And put in a few shameless plugs for this page. etc.)
Someone answer 52 please! I was here before the blog, but was not actualy on the blog for a long time. What does that make me??? Pwease???
BTW, virtual Choklit to anyone who answers me.
It makes you…. Just a sec
I makes you Generation 4. It doesn’t matter if you lurked or not, it matters when your first post was.
I don’t know the answer to your question. Do I get any choklit for that?
I’m an ’10. 8th grader at the moment.
I’ve been lurking since late generation 1, I couldn’t get an email
Is there a generation 6 yet?
Im in class of ’10.
Jadestone- It means that officially you are a gen 4., but you get to have the importance and superiority and such of being so closely associated with the museblog and gaboomba since gen 0. So maybe we could call you and honorary gen 0.
Virtual choklit? Yaa? *puppy eyes*
Jadestone- you are gen 4, it is by first post. wait did you post on the Gamboomba ever? because then you would be a gen 0 who disapeared until gen 4. If you posted regularily on the gaboomba then came here at gen 4 then you are gen 0. If you posted once on the gaboomba then came her on gen 4 then you are gen 4.
Yes, I did post on the gaboomba, but it was a long time ago with different people. Then i sorta didnt come on for a long time, and when I remembered about it a month or two ago, the blog was up.
So I posted on this and just didnt mention my gaboomba days.
Virtual Choklit to anyone who answered me.
*sends E~A (Elassë~Ade’ehl), Skipper Nancy Blackett, King George the MMMXXLIII (a.k.a George Washington the MMMXXLIII), and tooMontgomeryGurl The Completely Evil and Psychotic Stalker Virtual Choklit*
I’m at least as special as Jadestone. I didn’t post on the Gaboomba, but I did go there occasionally. Wait…maybe I did post. Is there any way to get to the Gaboomba archives? Are there even Gaboomba archives?
what exactly was gaboomba like?
class of 2010
class of 2010 too..
Generation III.
OTZI IS NOT IN THERE!!!!!!!!
OTZI IS DISPLEASED!!!!!!!!
OTZI IS REFERRING TO HERSELF IN THE THIRD PERSON!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you in Gen. 6?
If you don’t remember how to get to the Gaboomba, the you probably didn’t go there enough to be gen 0.
search google 4 gaboomba
class of ’11
w00t w00t
generation 3 pwns all.
You go to the main page (musefanpage.com), click “fan page gallery”, click “fan page fan mail”.
What about: Generation 6? Thats what I am! *Jumps around and gives banana cream pie to everybody*.
Go to the blog homepage, click on HG2MB, click on “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the GABOOMBA”, then click on “GABOOMBA”
Hope that helps!
Yeah, I did the same thing as Jadestone. I think that Jadestone and I, who posted something in the region of once on the Gaboomba, get to be 1.0 or 4.0 or whatever, depending on when we arrived on the blog.
That makes me feel special! I am special! I am loved! *self-esteem puffs up*
Oh dearie. I’m not in the generation list! Of course I shouldn’t expect to be, I just posted – let’s see – yesterday, ( Ha! *small pause while I laugh at myself * pathetic.) but I harbour hopes.
Anyway, hi there! If you want to call me something you can call me Andromeda. Or Andro. Or ‘drama. In fact, call me anything you want.
Well according to the chart, it seems I’m generation 3.
Yayy! I’m Generation 2!
I’m hungry, I have to shower, it’s 9:30, I have four essays due Friday and there’s unproductive, nuisansical play rehearsal tomorrow and the next day and the next day! GRRRR!!!! Why can’t we all live in Norway? They know how to take it easy there.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
It seems there are somewhere around 224 bloggers (not counting the adults) on the ‘Who’s here?’ section at the present moment.
I might be off by a few.
But that’s not the point.
The point, is that it’s given me a brilliant idea.
Larry Gonick told us on the ‘Muse movie?’ section, to keep sending letters, so let’s all send letters big time.
I counted on the calender, and it seems there are 40 Sundays left this year.
224 x 40 = 8,960.00
Just imagine it.
If we all pitch in, and each send one e-mail, begging for a Muse movie, each Sunday, till the end of 2006, the editors won’t know which way to turn.
NOW THAT’S POLITICS PEOPLE!
PS: If you agreed to the task, please post the following code on the ‘Muse movie?’ thread:
Your blog name/Sunday commitment
No need to apologize if you miss a few Sundays, I’m sure we all will.
This might be the most effective idea I’ve thought up so far.
Good luck.
90- Yay for us! We are so specialwe deserve our own catagory. Called Musers-who-would-have-been-generation 0-if they had-not-goten-lost-early-on-and-missed-the-start-of-Museblog. Or maybe just Lost Musers.
Maybe you’re generation square-root-of-minus-one.
That would be iSquareroot of 1, right?
Cedar, if we do that, pople will just get annoyed. It happened with Nickelodoen bring back Hey Arnold. Rather, we should all write ONE letter.
i is eville.
hmm…apr. 6 (i think) and i won’t be a newbie…how many days is that?
No, i is great. When you take the y-axis of a coordinate plane and turn it into an i-axis, you get complex numbers that help you describe light waves and all other sorts of useful things. I ♥ i, and so should u. I mean,”you.”
i duno
the 6th?
HOWDY COOPER BIGFOOT!
Anoying them is sort of the idea.
Recieving 8,960.00 e-mails will be way more impactful, then recieving a mere 224.
The more ruckus is raised, the more chance there is that our wishes will be met.
Remember, if you agree to the Sunday thing, or will at least try to write e-mails every Sunday, post the following code:
Your blog name/ Sunday commitment
Hope you’ll join us in the fight.
My next e-mail is due in four days, according to my calender.
Good luck.
I was looking at “who’s here”
I’m not sure I approve of H_A . . . . . . . . . . . . .
How about something more pleasant, like fluffypinkbunnyslippers
or goshgirlscoutcookiesarereallygood.
Cedar, (#94) you’ve said that on almost EVERY thread….
FORGIVE ME MANDOLIN!
Let’s just say I’m a wee bit desperate.
I’ll be sending my next e-mail pretty soon.
How bout you?
102: What do we send them to? I’ve already sent two to Larry, and I’m trying to find a way to contact the editors, but I can’t.
A lot of those Generation 1-3 people weren’t here when I first came, then showed up later with the Newbies. I thought they were Newbies, but maybe they just kinda forgot for a while.
Or they never showed up at all.
Haha. I’m part of the legendary FORTIETH generation, a small, otherwise unheard of group of MuseBlog fanaticsthat doesn’t even exist yet. Kind of like El Chupacabra (Mexican Bigfoot), or a movie where Jennifer Lopez is a good actress. Anywhozafizzle, the fortieth generation is comprised of a few manga-crazed jalapeno-devouring fantasy-writing loonies, and has drawn off all admissions until the REAL fortieth generation poofs into actual existence many years from now.
Peace Out All of You Muse-like People/ Aliens/ Lemurs
Dear god, no wonder I don’t come here anymore.
Too crowded!
(fond memory of Generation 0… simpler times…)
Good run, though.
I know Emily the Strange doesn’t like crowds. But thanks for stopping by.
HI!
sssssiiiiiigggggghhhhhh……….bored..
Tomorrow I won’t be a newbie anymore!!!!
YAY!!!
Fwatchah!!!!
I is generationisquareroot 1 ! Yay for me!
Yay! Go gen. four!
SCIENCE GEEKS RULE THE WORLD!!!
We ask ourselves why the first generation isn’t dead yet o_0
george w bush is whom?
pop goes the rooster
i feel so neglected
MG – is there a gen. 6 yet??
110- Hi Morbid! I agree. I’m hanging in there though….
Morbid! I haven’t seen you since… Yeesh, early generation 2 or something. I totally agree with you, this place is crowded… with chatspeak…*shudder* Nooo….I’m generation 0. Rah! I officially kick rear!
im gen 4
*gentle sobbing*
I’m Gen six. Makes it sound like some sort of electronic toy. You are generation six.
Hey!Were am I??Can I have a newbie pie?
Welcome, randomnessonthebrain.
What’s cooking, Musers? There’s a newbie on the blog in great need of pie.
-PIE-
That was chocolate, by the way. Very nice, too.
-leaves-
*pies randomnessonthebrain*
*pies*
If a lot of the gen 5 – ers came, not because of MG’s letter, but because of the contest thingie which I sent in, I must also be the mother of gen 5.
