Welcome Thread Part II

Welcome, TheDutchGhost.

Welcome to the nicest and craziest board in the net

I agree! We're the ideal blend of lunacy and courtesy

[TheDutchGhost]

Hello all, I am Marten van Wier. I use the username the Dutch Ghost for my online presence or the abbreviation TDG when I want to write down my username quickly.
There is not really any story behind my username other that the username Ghost was already taken on a forum where I wanted to sign up, so I decided to glue my nationality to it to stand out seperately and after that it stuck when I decided to make accounts on other forums.

I came here after my friend Uschi invited me when she heard I was working on stories and wanted feedback and help with writing them.

Welcome to the board
I think you'll like it here.
Interesting to learn about your nick. A board member who died less than a year ago went by the name ghost on TrekBBS. Was that by any chance the board you registered?
I use the name huggle on most boards. It goes back to a Dutch friend, Santaman, who used to huggle everyone in chat. The idea of a combination of a hug and a snuggle appealed to me and so I adopted the word as a nick.

Welcome to the board, TDG. It's good to have you here.

A board member who died less than a year ago went by the name ghost on TrekBBS.

Oh, I didn't know that she died. Poor Ghost.

I use the name huggle on most boards.

I noticed that you appeared on Tumblr under another familiar alias.

actually, you did. Ghost was Emma. I first met her on Keith Cobb's board in 2000 or 2001. There and on ExIsle she used a different name again: Nonny. It took me years to realize Emma was an old friend under a different name; and she didn't recognize me either, as I had changed my name, too.
That's the huge disadvantage of different usernames.

Yes, on Tumblr I used the nick I got from you I use it on TrekBBS.

I met emma as Nonny on Ex Isle as well, but the Ghost I'm thinking of is a different person who I knew from TrekBBS and KellyzKorner. I don't think emma was ever on TrekBBS. The Ghost I'm thinking of lived in upstate New York, and was hospitalized with limited mobility because of her weight and knee problems.

Yes, on Tumblr I used the nick I got from you I use it on TrekBBS.

I know, I've seen you there. Even though I barely post there anymore....
