Just Looked Back At My Time on PC
 
I've been a member of PC for five years.
About 6 months on my first account, but I forgot the password and email when I tried to reuse it about two years later.
And now this account.
And some of the things I used to post were so weird and something that well, a three year old would say, that I couldn't believe that I've written some of that stuff.
Anyone ever look back and think differently?

Chikara December 1st, 2010 8:52 PM

I want to forget everything I did from back when I first joined.
I'm not kidding.
Make it GO AWAY.

Aquacorde December 1st, 2010 9:50 PM

Ohgod me too. I hate who I was back then, someone erase it all please.

Alice December 1st, 2010 10:21 PM

Hmm... I don't have any bad memories of when I first joined. The map rating thread was a lot more active, and I was having a lot more fun with mapping. (At this point, there's really no room for me to improve, so it's a little boring. lol)

Really, I'd say times were better back then. Although, I wasn't nearly as active in other parts of the community, and no one knew me yet.

Despite all of the stupid, idiotic, n00by, and ill-informed things I've done in the past, I really wouldn't go and change them. They are, in essence, a part of who I am. Erasing the past is going to erase the future as well.

Of course I'm no less ashamed about my past than anyone else would be in my position, but I choose not to let that rule me, or hang over me like an emotional 'Sword of Damocles'. Mistakes are mistakes, and only the weakest fools will throw the mistakes of a distant past in your face. Naturally I do define distant as anything over a year ago...because much can change in a year, especially in one's early years. Of course if I were age 50 and not age 22, I'd say 5 years, but that's beside the point.

The point, and fact of the matter is that I learn from my mistakes and move on. To me, it doesn't matter if it happened, and anyone who disagrees...unless they were the ones hurt by it...need to just get over it and move on. If they were the ones hurt by it, they're allowed a tiny bit more time to care, but not excessively so. That being said, I feel like it's a waste of time to be apologetic or regretful about your past. What is done is done, and nothing can ever change that fact. Best to live on as best as Fate and Destiny will allow.

Fate is anything you absolutely cannot control or do something about...and Destiny is anything you can do something about. These definitions of these words merely show how I view them in my opinion.

I guess looking back at like, the past 2 months I've been here...
Maybe I was a little... "too" eccentric back then? I mean usually, I can control that eccentric-ness and my own natural maturity just fine, but I guess nowadays, my randomness was overwhelming I suppose; so I found it troublesome to start more of a convo with more people...

I don't know. Sometimes I just say the first thing(s) that pop into my head and go from there. I also regret that I could go along with people has well as I could of because of that; or because of other things...maybe. u.u;

But I suppose being "fairly" new I have all the time in the world and reflect back more around here.

Stellar December 2nd, 2010 7:15 AM

Oh hell yeah. Not on PC though, I've only been a member for a year or two so there's not much room for change there. But sometimes I find myself looking back on old AIM/MSN conversations and I sounded like such a hyperactive weeaboo nubcake back then that I just wish someone had told me to shut up. o_x Like really, I end up feeling embarrassed over crap I said like 5+ years ago, it's THAT bad.

560cool. December 2nd, 2010 7:47 AM

Well, I used to space commas like this :

"and , then..."

And I just wrote completely pointless stuff. I even got a warning for spamming. :o
Yeah, I was really nooby. My first 800 or so posts are nothing. -_-'

Percy Thrillington December 4th, 2010 8:05 AM

I was certainly different to who I am now but I don't look back ashamed. I was thirteen, after all - give me a break.

This. I can't even believe that I used to say that, I mean, compare to now, the past me and the now me seems really different.

ManhattanTheStarr December 4th, 2010 8:40 AM

Lol, I joined this forum only a couple of months ago, so there's no embarrassing moments for me. :B But unfortunately, I do remember my noobish moments on other forums. Like a certain video game forum back in early 2009... >.> Ugh, I was sooo lame and... nooby, that whenever I go to look at my old posts, I just feel like facepalming myself (lol, I never use that phrase). XD

Ayselipera December 4th, 2010 8:41 AM

When I first joined I used
to group everything to the
side just like this because
I thought typing normally
looked too stretched out
and it bothered me, tru fax.

I really don't know what was going through my head at the time. Although I didn't think I would be staying long term so maybe I figured it didn't matter. Besides that I've barely looked back on any of my old posts, but for the ones I have I noticed my opinion on whatever it is I was answering then is different now. I actually like it though because it made me realize that I've grown. Not in a monumental way, but still significant enough for me to mention.

aguinn99 December 4th, 2010 3:38 PM

Ive only been on pc for what, I month? nothing has changed XD except I overuse XD as you see. i have never been on any other website besides pc that you really do things with other people. until now Ive just been playing flash games on the computer. (I have no idea why I used to do that)so maybe in a few years when I look back at some of my posts from now, I might want to change it but for now, I just have to wait until then.

OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire December 4th, 2010 3:41 PM

In all my time here there was only one post I was embarrased about...my first post...but that's it...I'm still the same person I was 8 months ago...

Corvus of the Black Night December 4th, 2010 3:44 PM

I was kinda stupid back when I first joined. Got all agressive at stupid things. Hated the moderators because I'm the Antichrist a troll.

Then I got all emo. Was all depressed and ****.

Then I barely even visited. Kept forgetting, apparently got a fanbase while I was gone because a bunch of people were very happy to see me back a few months ago!

Now I visit on a semi-regular basis and I find myself more refined than before, but knowing me I'll hate myself now 6 months later.

Then what's the point in posting? BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BOOST THAT NUMBER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN, SILLY!

You spelt a word wrong yesterday >:]

Anyway, YES. When I first joined this community, I was obsessed with Rom Hacking :| I posted stupid hack idea's in the Progressing Hacks section. D: Then I left for a while, then came back about a year later. I was still Noobish for the first month or so writing "Lyk dis, i waz such a noob. kk?" Now I can actually write properly :o

PlatinumDude December 4th, 2010 3:50 PM

I've been on PC for only 3 months and I looked back at only few of the posts I made, and those posts were how I came here shortly after being banned in Bulbagarden.

Purple_Haze December 4th, 2010 8:52 PM

Thats what I think about who I was as a person when I was younger. I remember who I was and what I had done and I just get so angry with myself. I wasnt just stupid back then I was really mean and hateful. I just want to go back in time and slap my pastself silly.

Soari December 4th, 2010 10:30 PM

I remember I was such a doosh, foolish, and stupid when I first joined this forum. I really hate to recall my idiotic acts that I did here and I wish I could erase everything that I did in the past. To be very honest, I've made plenty of meaningless and pointless posts that barely make any sense. (Stalkers, don't you even dare to look at my older posts!) I've made like 3 accounts just for the hell of it and spammed the MCG (Mixed Community Groups) with one of my account maybe because the moderators had closed half of the threads I made or something for some apparent reason, which made me to rage. Seriously, I feel like digging myself into a hole now. .______.

mondays suck December 5th, 2010 1:49 AM

Back when I joined, I was an idiot who was bad at English and liked challenges. Now I am an idiot who is bad at English and likes challenges and Jumpluff. I don't think I have changed a lot.

Three or four years ago though, things were different. I was pretty much a stereotypical flamer kiddie. I was throwing around insults at anything that moved, and found myself awesome for doing so. I didn't have knowledge of the word "troll" back then (at least not in the meaning that's prevalent nowadays), but I think I could be described as a really, really bad troll. But, that was not on PC, so that embarrassing past doesn't really matter here, or does it?

Palkia December 5th, 2010 2:17 AM

Please god, get rid of the Animal Crossing Forum memories.

I haven't really changed since April, but to be fair i haven't posted much.

twocows December 5th, 2010 12:00 PM

Not really, I mean I mostly just helped people with their computer stuff. I still do that now, but I'm more busy with uni now. :(

Captain Fabio December 5th, 2010 4:39 PM

I was a lot less mature back when I was first posting and a bit of a n00b.

But I wouldn't change anything really, I am glad how I have turned out in the end. :P

Harmonie December 5th, 2010 8:01 PM

My early 2007 self and my self right now might as well just be considered two completely different people.

I didn't post much on this forum until like last year, though. So there really aren't any posts to read on here from back then. That's a good thing. lol

Enigma December 5th, 2010 8:30 PM

I think this is something that just happens during life in general, let alone PC. I do admit that some of my old posts were kind of...odd, but I guess it isn't that bad.
Heck, three years from now, I'll probably look back at this post and facepalm.
