Great Scalar:

Tell me, has the human race discovered or been discovered by life elsewhere in the stars? And how are the animals? Have they been taken care of or have more gone extinct. Please take me back with you. I wish to inform your people of the days of yesteryear.

What made you decide to choose our forum for this?

And how do we know that you really are from the future and not just GM?

I thought the world would've ended earlier.

Who will win the world series this year? Also, what happens when we run out of oil and Natural gas?

I am here to study the way in which people interact with each other in a digital setting (I'm a sociologist by trade). GameTavern is the perfect sized community for my thesis.

The manner in which people communicate with each other has changed greatly over the generations as has the general family structure. We don't have families the way you guys do. Instead we live in communities of anywhere from 100-1000 people. That's not to say that traditional familes are totally extinct, rather they are no longer the norm. I have a theory on how this happened and I am visiting your time period to gather support.

We have not yet been discovered by other forms of life, at least not to our knowledge. Who knows who may be listening to our radio signals though right? We did discover microbes within the liquid ocean of Europa, and we have gathered convincing evidence that life once existed on Mars.

As far as the animals go, I know that species go extinct every day. The only significant extinctions include humpback whales and a certain kind of owl. I am afraid I cannot take you back with me even if I wanted to. The pod only has room for one.

I believe the first trips for research purposes were taken 15-20 years ago. It's not readily available in that not just anyone can hop into a pod and take a jaunt whenever they feel like it. You have to apply and be accepted to take a trip.

I don't follow sports, but I couldn't tell you even if I knew. We haven't run out of oil yet, but it is not used for energy the way it is in your time. 100 years ago the first fusion reactors came online which took a lot of pressure off the oil/gas industry.

Guys, I just ran a systems check on my pod and afterwards I smelled something burning. I'm getting really scared because I don't have a lot of technical knowledge on how this thing works. :help:

Does it not come with a manual?

For all purposes it would be smart if it came with one, for this kind of situation.

Have you met John Titor?

Is the son of a bitch telling the truth?

Re: I am a time traveler from the future
 
Well 2005 is almost over and there hasn't been a civil war yet. Plus the dates time travel became available don't match between the time travelers. We may have the genuine traveler here.

Scalar2342, would be be possible to show us pictures of your pod?

John Titor was the name of a purported time traveller from the year 2036. He posted on several time travel-related Internet bulletin boards during 2000/2001, making many vague and seemingly falsifiable predictions about events in the near future and giving an explicit, detailed account of his supposed native time period. Whether or not John Titor was a hoax is a topic of controversy on web-based paranormal discussion boards.
