We are very pleased to announce our February Member of the Month ... Drum roll please!

This month we have given the honour to Kudo

Thank you Kudo for all your efforts. It's been greatly appreaciated, and thank you for a great interview. It's always nice to have a doctor in the house.

How did you find BigBlueBall? What keeps you coming back?

I found BBB from Google I was searching something about Trillian.I don't know what though, I think I was looking for a Skin (MSN 5 Skin). Anyway while searching I found BigBlueBall. It seems pretty interesting so I looked into it and then I registered. After that I totally forget about it until one day I got an email for my birthday, so I decided to come back and check. I had to activate my account, so I did and since then I couldn't resist coming back to help in anyway I can.

How did you come up with Kudo as your username?

Kudo is the last name of my late Scandinavian childhood best friend and I use it in memory of him.

How long have you been using computers?

Let's see.. we moved into our new house in 1988. Started using UseNet that same year. I recall logging into...to play games soo guessing 89/90 progressively.

How long have you been instant messaging?

I started using ICQ in 96, back then it was a neat small package, and alowed for file transfer, offline messaging and chatting. but as time went on they kept adding new features, it kept growing and growing, I still use it a lot because most of my friend do, The problem I have with it now is that it takes up a lot of memory.

What's your preferred instant messenger? Why?

I'm a registered user of AIM, ICQ, Yahoo! and MSN, but Trillian is my new favorite instant messenger because Trillian is a fully featured, stand-alone, skinnable chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC.

What's your favorite BigBlueBall section, and why?

Well my favorites BBB sections are General computer help because I embrace new technologies, and I am eager to use and learn more about them and Off Topic Why? Personal Enrichment...;-)

What do you do when you're not online?

When I am not online I am going crazy working at the hospital ( I am a Doctor) headaches and almost falling asleep at the University because I am studying Psychology or on vacation where there is beach, sun and over 30°C

Anything else you'd like to add?

I Love this forum!

I for one have gained enormously from the experience offered here and all you lovely members. I have not come across another forum that is as friendly, open, honest and supportive as this is! When I joined I was only passing through and didn't think I'd stay here so long...but now this is the only forum that I've ever been a regular member of for so long...

I want to thank the founder and moderators and each and every member for keeping it running,

I feel so honoured to have been selected BBB member of the month.Thank you very much!!!!
