Bandwidth fail.

Lynxo: Indeed I am (If I can avoid the swineflu that everyone's so scared of...)!
I hope we get plenty of encores. It'll be nice to see Opeth again, too.

How come you're called Icebear and the bear in your avatar looks like it's on fire?

[Dark Master Of Sin]

Hi. I'm a newb.

[Super Dude]

No, we are not doing this again.  We all know you.

[Icebear]

How come you're called Icebear and the bear in your avatar looks like it's on fire?

It's because of the icy fear that he instills in the hearts of all who encounter him.
Alternatively, I don't really know.

Hey, guys. I just wanted y'all to know that I decided to join the Dream Theater forums. I'm happy to be here and I hope to be a regular member here. I'll go ahead and let y'all know a little bit about myself.

My name is Brandon, as you can probably quickly deduce. I'm fifteen years old (very soon to be sixteen) and I've been a Dream Theater fan for a little over a year. It all started with a conversation about metal with my friend, Jason. I started talking about how I wished that there was a band that fused my favorite music styles; id est, prog-rock, prog-metal, jazz fusion, and elements of classical symphony. He proceeded to ask me if I knew of the band 'Dream Theater.' I, at the time, hadn't heard of them, but I was very interested after I heard their song 'A Change of Seasons.' To say the least, I was more than impressed at their technical and artistic abilities.

I won't lie to you; James' voice takes some getting used to, but now it's hard to imagine the band without him. It takes a certain type of person to truly appreciate his talent, which I believe is safe to label 'brilliant.' Now, I'm not so narrow-minded when it comes to metal; other favorite bands of mine include Opeth, Megadeth, Queensrÿche, Symphony X, Nightwish, Yngwie Malmsteen, Rush, Pink Floyd, Soundgarden, Pantera, and Judas Priest, just to name the most influential. I'm currently looking into Porcupine Tree and All That Remains.

I'm truly the geek of all of my friends. My interests lie mainly around software development, computer engineering, graphic art, web development, classical literature, fantasy novels, linguistics, gaming, et cetera, et cetera.

I really hope to share my thoughts and ideas with everyone here.

Thanks.
-Brandon

I was going to put you in and decided not to because I can't think of a time recently where I really thought you failed on an epic scale.

Which means that you and bosk1 are duplicate accounts.  And the rules prohibited duplicate accounts.  Normally, what we do is ban all but the original one...
