An introduction is in order!

[crossmagnet]

And out of nowhere, I leap out of the darkness wearing mostly red with a golden cross hanging from my neck.

YES!!! It is me, the son of streetsoldier! Weren't expecting me, were you? Know why? *see location under avatar* THAT'S WHY!
(V)uahahahahaaaaaaaaa!

Anyway, yes, I am the foretold "coppertop" under new management since I was last on a forum...Goodness, it's been years...by crackie...

[Miss Mary]

"by crackie" it is you Coppertop!!!! Why hello there stranger.....let's see by now you're probably voting, in college, moving forward with your goals in life.......

Well it sure is nice to see you!!!

But I have to ask, since you've chosen another nickname, didn't you go by another nickname before coppertop too?

Just trying to keep all the nics straight ya know....since well the older you get, the older we all get and well, you may have noticed this with your dad, our memory isn't what it was cracked up be (or mine isn't!!!).

Say hi to your dad for all of us too!

Indeed. Well, I may need to hold off the college for a while...Stupid 19 year old mind and its lack of self-control with funds...

Anyway, it's pretty much always been coppertop on the forums, just decided to change it since I gave my life to Christ...I'm actually studying to be a minister, so my posts on here may be few and far between...Got lots of prayers to be said and Scriptures to read, so on and so forth...Just figured I'd see if the ol' forum is what my dad thinks it's cracked up to be.

[Miss Mary]

Well, it's still all it's cracked up to be (IMHO)! I've been an S2K member since 2003 and I still love it here. Sure it's grown tremendously since when I joined but you can find that old S2K comaraderie feel, if you look for it. It's here but right now most eyes are on the Tropics so this place will be busy.

Did your dad tell you TWC finally closed their message boards? Yes, they're now officially in the history books......a wonderful place in its hey day where many of us met and became wx board friends. I credit TWC for introducing me to such a nice group of folks but thank S2K even more for keeping us together, with more possibilities than TWC ever did (OT, forums, gallery, etc.). I can't imagine ever leaving S2K, to be honest!

Hope you stick around coppertop!

Not only all the above, but...we'll let in just about anybody...

I remember your father talking about you Coppertop. So nice to meet you.From the nickname I bet you have red hair. I met the Storm2k members over at the weather forum Miss Mary was referring to in her post and I had to join since everyone was so friendly to me.Many of them sent condolences in 2003 when my mom passed away.

Hey Bill, that son of yours has turned out pretty good. Congratulations.

Coppertop, good luck to you. I know you'll do well. It's been a long time, but you sound like you still know what you want and are determined. I have faith in you and your selection. ((HUGS))

Yo, Yo...what's UP Lil Bro?? Long time no see/talk!!

Hey Bill...I'll give ye a buzz later this week, TOO many stupid criminals these dayz...of course, you KNOW how THAT goes EH?

[Miss Mary]

Not only all the above, but...we'll let in just about anybody...

Yeah really - LOL!!! (just kidding)

And Bill, coppertop's topic brought you out of the woodwork too I see......nice to see you posting again!

Welcome back Coppertop/Crossmagnet. I like your new userid and it's obviously very fitting!

Don't be a stranger.

[azskyman]

Well hello there Crossmagnet/Coppertop aka Annabelle's big bro!

Good to see you here, and while I post about as often as you have, it does answer one question I have been seeking. Does streetsoldier still have access to S2K? And right there in your shadow is the answer!

Hey, I've been around so long I am still looking for that bike that was stolen from your old place. Can I finally quit looking?

Seriously, I hope you are finding that which you are looking for on this path in your life. I am humbled always by those who make that commitment. I wish you well along the way!
