Intro TheMess.Net Landing Page

[BravoZulu]

Hello all
Another refugee from old dead mp.net and soon to die mp.net
Short introduction :
Frenchman of Macedonian origin
Military experience limited to national service in French Army in 1996 (151st Infantry Regiment : a mechanized contact unit - with a field nurse speciality)
Actually Univ Associate Professor specialized on infectious and tropical diseases (mostly parasites and fungi)
A bit of History nerd and intersted in global geopolitics
Happy to see that the refugee raft is full and some old heads are surviving the TheMess.net crash
Happy to be also on a new board, some freshness will be cool (and help to vent the old fart smell we bathed in on the other board ;-))

Welcome aboard @Mordoror , my God we have some awfully well qualified refugees making the jump to MI.net

Great intro @Jake84 and don't worry mate, you gave it a go in the military and it wasn't for you. I hope that you've managed to get into something you like to do now but take it from me.....if you're not happy doing what you do, then make the great leap and go and be happy and damn the torpedo's man!

Thanks to you and Bombardier. Of course I’d rather be honest. As you both stated I wasn’t made for being a soldier and being only 17 yo enlisting you feel a bit « lost ». Guess I could have made a decent military career but there it is. No regrets about all that.

 

[Mordoror]

Thanks @BravoZulu and @Bombardier for their welcome and for opening their home to some frozen and wet kittens ....

 

[Aero]

Glad to see this. Sup boys.

[Bombardier]

Welcome @Aero glad to have you aboard mate

 

[Jake84]

Glad to see this. Sup boys.

Looks like we are rebuilding TheMess thanks to the owner of this forum. We shall all tread lightly though and the occasional heated debates regarding politics we should watch our pie holes. New place. Better manners

Yep small world mate, her family is from Sto Tomas and she still has a house in Ma-A. We'll be moving there when I pull the pin from policing

 

[BravoZulu]

Glad to see this. Sup boys.

Welcome @Aero , great to have you here

 

[Aero]

Aye, I'm all for that. Pardon me though, who are our new overlords? Thank you guys, though. Sincerely, great to see the mp.net/mess-family extended another generation.

 

[Aero]

Just trying to get the hang of things here....again. Many thanks.

 

[BravoZulu]

Aye, I'm all for that. Pardon me though, who are our new overlords? Thank you guys, though. Sincerely, great to see the mp.net/mess-family extended another generation.

You can see the staff members under the "Members" toolbar at the top of the page, @digrar has agreed to take on a mod role but our Big Kahuna is @Bombardier , owner and the guy that carried this site almost singlehanded for the past 15+ years.

 

[Aero]

Sweet, thanks man.

 

[Junglejim]

Yep small world mate, her family is from Sto Tomas and she still has a house in Ma-A. We'll be moving there when I pull the pin from policing

Theres another ex police member from Italy there that makes awesome Gellatos, probably hiding from the mob.

Aye, I'm all for that. Pardon me though, who are our new overlords? Thank you guys, though. Sincerely, great to see the mp.net/mess-family extended another generation.

You would look at the flag of a ship that pulled you from the waters and freak cause its Chinese, wouldnt you?

 

[Aero]

Yes Sir, I would. No mistakes allowed.

 

[StormzSTA]

[Bombardier]

Welcome mate glad you joined us

 

[Junglejim]

I would just be happy that they picked me up before i started throwing children over board cause im getting claustrophobic on the raft

 

[BravoZulu]

Guys and Girls (Just in case there ARE some!)
Just to let you all know that by joining us here at MI.net, you haven't joined a second rate, mickey mouse forum or as someone at TheMess said: "fringe-hobby niche forum"

As of today this site holds over 131,000 images in 74 categories and while we have a way to go to be up there with the old MP.net we have had the luck and good management to still be here after 16 years with the opportunity to grow and still stay meaningful and relevant in today's social media bogfest. It's all up to the members of this home to make it greater.

Onwards and upwards

See you in the trenches lads and ladettes......oops, had a little relapse there....see you in the threads
