Who is ottok?...asks obiwan18
Whose job is it to educate the newer posters on the important stuff?
To start,,,
ottok made posts that were very hard to understand as he was from lapland or somewhere and his english was really bad. Trying to figure out what ottok was trying to communicate was a blast.
Anyone have any of his posts saved?

There was a great tribute to ottok a ways back, but I can't find it right now. However, you can a "taste" of it by reviewing his posting history in his profile...
His location field is Tampere, Finland
Check some of these out...

The real tragedy, of course, is that he left before Laz posted Evil, Evil Finland.

his English seems too good.
Back in the old alpha.owo forums we had a guy who sometimes posted, he could barely speak any english. He seemed to ask serious SMAC questions so I didn't think he was a DL. He took a lot of heat for his English skills

I can see why trying to understand what he said would be a challenge.

Sorry about that... just go to the members page and look him up and click on his name. That should bring up his profile, and from there, you should be able to review his posts... I think

Thanks Ming.
I tried re-inputting my login and that seemed to work.
I wonder why they had me logged out even though I could still post?
Thanks to Lancer as well for this ottok thread.

8 posts in a row... brings back memories of the old hemorrhaging server ... which led to my being accused of being a DL spammer in my 1st thread in the OT (due to 4 posts in a row saying the same thing )
I'm gald that the server is more stable nowadays

What exactly happened to ottok? Does anyone know? I've been thinking of arranging an operation to find him by posting on any imaginable Finnish forum... I suspect he lost his internet connection on some day, and then decided not to come back to Apolyton when/if he got a new one. That, or something happened to him IRL.

 Grab your phone book and start calling all Finns with a last name starting with a K and ask for Otto.
