For the most part I'm a loner, which at times can make me seem a little cold.  I truly enjoy giving help, I like the occasional new piece of knowledge or solving that tricky issue.  The variety, breaks many a dull day.  We have a great community here as well, so that helps a lot.

On my chest a golden runic symbol, if you know WH40K you'll recognize it as an Eldar symbol.  On my shoulder a dragon, I was born in the year of the dragon and have always liked them.

Ha, yes I'm sure that's not what they meant by the question :)

As I'm a support person, my focus is on support.  I'd like it to be easier to use, but it's hard as it's quite easy now.  So I hope that general knowledge of the software is known by it's users by then.  So basic php and html is better understood with the ability for most administrators to troubleshoot their own issues, as it become second nature to those using the internet.

It is pronounced as it's spelt.  So RumBar.  As in Rum the alcohol and Bar as in a place you get alcohol from.

is it a long aaaa sound? Because it's baar not bar, and that's confusing me.

Fustrate on April 01, 2009, 04:50:48 PM said:
"Post BAN" should be "post BAN".

Read your phonics book!
Rumbaar on April 01, 2009, 05:27:33 PM said:
ha!, Say the word RUM, then say the word BAR.  Join them together and you'll have your answer.  But I've attached a recording that might help :)

Jade Elizabeth on April 01, 2009, 05:44:09 PM said:
You sound like you're saying "Rumba" cause I'm so used to Americans emphasising Rs LOL
Rumbaar on April 01, 2009, 05:45:59 PM said:
Well originally the name grew from the music festival called Rumba, that was on at the time I first came online.
Jade Elizabeth on April 01, 2009, 05:48:08 PM said:
LOL I so knew that. Not really.

Nah, you have an awesome voice :D. Love it!
Fustrate on April 01, 2009, 09:29:42 PM said:
That's what I was asking! The emphasis is on the RUM :) and I agree with Jade
