The Old days...
 
I was going through some posts I had made AGES ago today just for the hell *is off sick from uni so...has alot of time* XP and I noticed some posts I made in my old welcome thread from 2005 XD

I just thought it would be fun to discuss your welcome threads and old posts we all made that looking back on we would all think "OMG".

I suppose this is for the old members more than anything lol...well I say old I'm not that old lol...anyways yeah but the new members/not so old members are more than welcome to join in on past times ^_^

I didn't know whethere to put this here or in OVP but I thought it was more of a discussion thread than a question.

Anyways, here is my old welcome thread: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=31457

Yeah...OMG...

Some of the stuff I said makes me cringe a little and I STILL RPG as much as I use to in my posts! XD I was so innocent. >> <<

*Walks off*

That was mine... not too long ago =)

I still waffle just as much and I love that thread because I made friends with Beachboy and he is just weird... funny weird XP

Aurapostle waffled back so that made me feel better.
I wouldn't say I was young and innocent XP

Just weird and nervous.

Hawkfish November 21st, 2008 11:34 AM

lol I wasn't here that much but, I was in other forums. And man I was a n00b. I typed like beanz. And angered easily. I was a freaky little kid. D:

BeachBoy November 23rd, 2008 5:11 AM

Hah @ other introductions because at least your intros were... neat. >:|

How about my disaster of a welcome thread? http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=124987 (Shame, only two welcomes)

All I can say is... I've come a long long way. Not a single person would believe that n00b is where he is today. Back when I was new, gee, I was both intimidated by staff and numerous people, and scared to fit in. I'm glad I eventually did though. Looking through the past to see how you've developed is fun. X) Great topic, Shadowfaith.

o.o ermm the first big forum I joined, I was a bit new to forums and I was a teeny bit newbish when it came to err well I don't know, just new to forums but I soon got into the graphics scene and helping other members , I felt like I fitted in, was another pokemon forum. =) A really big active one like this one so I wasn't a newbie at forums when I came here but I was really surprised by the warm welcome I got...I thought someone would shoot me for burning their eyes out with my wafflness.

Shadowfaith November 23rd, 2008 5:52 AM

Aww BB *Hugs* I wasn't active then, but I WOULD HAVE COMMENTED! *Salutes*

....

x_x

Lol I was exactly the same when I joined here. I was as intimidated as joining SPPF for the first time though, in fact this place was very chilled compared to XD. I think anywhere is to be honest with you XD
But I just couldn't fit in here at first and then I came back for a second try and ended up...MAKING FRIENDS =O

Ahh...Beachy I love your welcome thread. I would have posted if I knew that you'd be this popular. ^^

I was a living hell when I was a new member...heck I didn't know any BB codes or anything so I kept posting asking, "How do you those pictures?" and such. My welcome thread wasn't a pleasure as well. The only two members still active who posted in my welcome are Eon-Rider (CoolMaster I believe) and Virtual Headache.

XD BeachBoy, one of your nicknames is Rybread? Mine too, haha. I'm guessing that might mean your last name starts with a B, but then again Rybread is decently common for Ryans.

And pshhh, you make yourself seem all n00bish back then, but using a thousand smileys doesn't grant you n00bness, p0steg lyk dis migaht tho. (<---I think n00bs aren't even smart enough to do that..)

For the sake of all Natural Order, I will not post my no0b times.

If I had a dollar right now for every noob I was worth back then, I would have 42 dollars.

You can check it out for yourself, but you will think I hacked a little 5 year old's account. And my God, have I come a very long way @[email protected] I almost can't believe that was me.

Wow, that brought me back just now. Gah, I miss those days, back before everything started to suck so much.

And yeah, I was Warheart, if you didn't already know. 2 failed attempts at leaving later, I now use this account :'D

Proud to say that I totally didn't type like a complete newb back then :<

Lol....Mine was kinda lame. I should have written a lot more, but at least a bunch of people commented ^____^

Oh, and then it ended up getting locked by Beachy because someone revived it after it was like 5 months old. So yeah....that wasn't my fault XD

At least I didn't post fifty thousand smileys in my welcome unlike some n00blets *cough*Beachboy*cough* ^__________^

It's because I modded NU/W when you joined. I welcomed EVERYONE. XD;

Also, Beachboy, those smilies make my eyes burn. :( Not really but you get the idea.


Anyway, where'd I stash that thread? Here! Back in the days where Dakota still worked here, where Angela still loved Ash, and I was noobish and obsessed with spriting. :(

So yah, I didn't want people to know I came from SPPF because I thought you guys were meanies, LOL.

I didn't like my posting style back then at all. *heart*??? Wtf? ;_;</3

Klippy November 23rd, 2008 12:15 PM

I don't believe I ever created a welcome thread. If I did, it's not there now. XD; So I'm gunna just say how I found PC and my first thread. ;__;

My first thread was for my sprite comic that I had made. I posted it on Serebii and another forum first and got extremely mean and negative reviews for it, so I searched again and can't remember how I found PC exactly, but found it and saw a sprite comics section, so I joined up under the name The_Pokemon_Hossier (ugh) and got some positive comments on the comic(At least, I think they were positive), so I decided to stay. And then I spent my first year or so on PC only in the Sprite Comics area, never venturing elsewhere. Finally, my friend Seifer convinced me to get MSN and I did and then finally began going to other sections on PC. XD;

Welcome thread of original account

Wow, too sweet, and some run-on sentences. Account is obsessive over angels and Latias. D8

Welcome thread of this account

Omigosh, TB has evolved into super sweet! The change of ^_^ to ^-^ is terrible.. I started them the same way with "Hi everyone" to show how uncreative I am. More long and dreadful sentences. No one I know today bothered welcoming me because I was that lame.

And somehow, my occupation over the years has changed from being the "Messenger of God" to "Creeper".. Amusing.

Cherrim November 24th, 2008 5:42 AM

My welcome thread(s) are on another PC, far far away from here. Or lost forever, take your pick. :(

I do remember my welcome thread on the old PC made it to like two or three pages. XD; Mind you, this was back when there wasn't a rule about people replying twice to a welcome thread. But still! It was very impressive for a random new member back then. I happened to previously know a fair few popular members from other forums who were mods, s-mods, just plain popular, etc. So I got lots of greetings from them PLUS all the people who stalked them. Good times. :] I wasn't a noob or anything way back then, but I did overuse smilies. I still do, but man not to the same extent as before.

I was trying to look back and find my earliest available posts on this board, since they probably wouldn't be that much different from my actual first posts, but I can't even see any from 2003. :(

edit: god I hate you, IE. I did not hit send. STILL TYPING THIS BRB.
edit #2: okay nvm
edit #3: WAIT WAIT WAIT look what I found ♥. It's the staff "hay i'm new 8D" thread SA made when the boards were reset and we all posted in it. Close enough! XD

I never made a welcome thread. Never liked those forums so I've avoided them on all the forums I've been on. As you can see, I first came to PC for the Fan Fiction section. This is where I posted back in the day on my old "Berserk Murkrow" account that's been lost for a long time. I came back because Diamond/Pearl sparked my interest in Pokemon again and I started writing a story. And as you can see it was very popular. *shot* Anywho, I ventured into Role Play after that where I made some friends and finally found my place in S&M, where I was a total noob at first. I quickly picked up on it though and it's expanded since.

Never really had "noob" days as in broke a lot of rules, bad grammar, etc.

Reading my first fan fiction reminds me of where I got the idea for my current hack from. I couldn't remember where that started, but reading that over brings back so many memories. ;-;

Angela November 24th, 2008 6:51 AM

♥~Angela's Spectacular welcome thread~♥


And there is mine, I registered in May but I only registered:D I did not make the welcome post until June, Actually I knew lightning before I registered this account;) she allowed me to make this new account, I had another account with like no posts and I did not like the name and I did not feel like waiting for a long time to change it so Lightning gave me a green light to make a new account:D

Same here.

For me my first thread was requesting seedage for torrenting pokémon. Which you are unable to request now. xD

World King November 24th, 2008 9:39 AM

My super awesome not-so-popular Welcome Thread!

Heck, I remember that old thing. Well, actually, when I first came here, I never noticed the NU/W forum, because I joined this place mainly for Pokémon Trades and battles. Then, once I noticed it, I just had to make a little intro for myself. Too bad no Admin welcomed me... but that's ok. 'Cause I made a ton of new friends, gotten a bunch of Pokémon, and also been known as a pretty good battler (but I'm also trying to get myself a little more known around other sub-forums). But I guess we all can get to fit in, no matter how intimidating things look. Just look at our good friend and NU/W Mod, BeachBoy.

And for Old Times' sake, I'll re-ask something I asked in my Welcome Thread...


Why Doesn't Nintendo Make The Gold/Silver Remakes?!?!?!

Michii November 24th, 2008 3:50 PM

Unepicly epic! :'DD

My first thread was all about me putting up a front. I didn't want people to believe I was unaware, as they do for most other new members. Unfortunately, I caused some confusion on the actual newnicity (lawl new word!) of my being, and yeah. Weeeeh to another overlooked post! :33;

Nick November 24th, 2008 3:57 PM

I didn't really change much from when I originally joined with the exception of my posts went from being massively long like this one to a medium-low length and my enthusiasm lowered a bit. But here's my introduction thread.
