I don't think I even had an intro post, I probably predate that forum...

Actually... "Wohba" is a contraction of "Wohbanobongu", a phrase which roughly means "Wow". Appeared in one of Cyan's early black and white games, circa 1989. Generally used by Cyan employees and some long-time Myst fans. And while I'm at it... "Shorah" (from first post) is take from the fictional D'ni language which first appeared in Riven. Depending on the context, it can mean "hello", "farewell", or "peace." The latter meaning is meant as wishing someone peace. Similair to the "hippie" phrase "peace out". Another form of greeting is "Shorah b'shemtee", which is considered a more friendly greeting. <img src='http://www.abort-retry-ignore.net/shorah_bshemtee.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />

All right.... Wohba = Wow Shorah = Peace/Hello/Farewell And now, something that will make even less sense.  <table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>CODE </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'>w &~:w ?]?t,?b850?u);

Well, guess I should say welcome. Hello. Welcome to this side of insanity. Don't worry, you'll get used to it eventually. Beware forum members bearing pies and flame . . .
