UTM Regulars
One would think the regulars are a bunch of computer science geeks, but we're just regular geeks.

And (just a fair warning) many a troll (and "txt-spkr") has met their doom at the hands of certain UTM regulars.

bigjack126
Known as "liljack" or "bj".

Discovered how awesome chat was when he finally came to the UTM.

Is into Rock and Metal. Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, and Megadeth are among his top ten.

One of a handful of Christians in the UTM, which is sometimes a source of conflict with other regulars.

Works as a gravedigger.

Gets on well with all of the other regulars.

Not on as often as she used to be, due to that silly thing called "life".

She also intends to follow Nord on his expedition to a new room.. She will be missed.

Godseed
British regular.

May not actually exist, but certainly talks enough to make up for any lack of reification.

Collects quotes (they're much cheaper than Bionicle or "Havoc: the Bothering").

Known to be 'silly' and serious, can get depressive at times (and promptly makes himself leave)

Truly believes in his own lack of a soul, though others say he does have one.

Has no nicknames (likely due to his already-simple username), excluding things such as "Zacey" or his real name.

Known to be good for debates, or at least always have a comment to add.

May make silly comments to brighten people's days.

He has muted OVER 9000! users, and has actually reached the maximum amount of mutes that a user can give out. This number is 10999 users.

He's a programmer! Yeah! So that too.

He has a four-foot boner.

Moderators of UTM
Here to serve and protect.. And compute; better than you.

Matsteo
ROOM OWNER

Grammar Nazi Paladin.

After a run-in with the Grammar Gestapo, he's changed his evil ways and become much more tolerant of those less grammatically endowed.

Also, as a mod he can't go around bitching about everything.

He is one of the older regulars of the UTM, along with Toa_of_Pi.

Lives in San Francisco (claimed to be the home of everything awesome)

Some hobbies of his include cross country, procrastinating on the UTM, and snuggling other regulars.

He loves the whole world, and all its sights and sounds. Boom-de-yada.

Loves to dance, believe it or not, and will tango all over you if you keep on trollin'!

Was nominated for modship, and obtained his 'M' on Wednesday, September 8th, 2010.

Nordavind
UTM's famous Viking Mod.

Not much is known about Nord, but we do know that he hates trolls and those who feed them.

Nord was (until a while ago) the owner of The Warehouse, but his Viking ancestry made him set off for new adventures.

Has left us for a new room, but makes sure to visit often. Not yet. - Nord

Oceanix
The Mod without a profile (Not really; he just doesn't like you enough).

Has been around longer than the other mods, but isn't in UTM often.

Due to parental problems, he has no internet access, and has not been on in almost a year.

[Currently Inactive]

Olimm
Olimm is UTM's newest Mod, but is already a firm favourite.

Quotes of the UTM
This section is for quotes made in, or about, The Universal Turing Machine.

Favourite Quotes
Anton Szandor LaVey: “Yeah, well, I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid, hopefully. And I think we're all a bit crazy if we do anything that's deviant. I've studied a great deal on deviance and aberrant behavior. Most of the interesting people I've ever met have been deviant in one form or another.”

Anton Szandor LaVey: "Satan has been the best friend the church has ever had, as he has kept it in business all these years!"

John Cleese: "If God did not intend for us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?"

Quotes from UTMers
klaa2: Balls of steel don't protect against a shotgun shell in the face.

Matsteo: It's a cross between a condom and a duck!

Scul: Grinding? You mean you two started to turn each other into sausage meat?

Matsteo:: "Humans are rationalizing Kitty, not rational." ... "Whoah.. That was like... Wise n' shit."

DBscotsdragon: "Don't forget the Grafenberg-Spot!"

donteatglue1: "Isn't that a pokémon?"

MooDooMan: "Go, G-Spot!! G-Spot used squirt! It's super effective!"

Lashof: "sup"

Matsteo: "... Why is my cat covered in peanut butter?"

A Note Regarding Roleplaying
There is a Chatzy room set up specifically for UTMers who wish to roleplay.

The current Admins are DBscotsdragon, Matsteo, & Noobmasterz.

We hope to run a semi-regular session of a simple RP system. There are murmurings of TaiJParry wanting to run a low-level Supers campaign in GURPS, also.

I want to learn more about Turing machines!
