This topic definitely looks like a S&T topic, so I might as well just move it over there.
But as for the topic on hand...hoo boy, where to begin. I began on
Neoseeker back in 2011, where I assumed the name "castlewars" (yeah, dumb name looking in retrospect). It started out pretty well, but then I started getting in trouble for obsessing over postcount and mindlessly spamming and abusing moderation features, such as - you won't believe this - sending fake "ban" messages to other users. It got to the point where I nearly got banned, so I left. At the same time, I had a growing interest in a certain Mario fangame called Super Mario Bros. X, which some of you have probably heard of it, which lets you create your own Mario levels (this was before Mario Maker!) and games, and share them online. Creativity was one of my strongest points, so I joined an active forum dedicated to it (no link, because that forum has been nuked, but now it lives on as
this site) and became a moderator. However, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. Even though this is in total contrast to what a lot of you users think about me, I was actually one of the most hated users over there because I had gotten a reputation for being stupid for actions I'd done in the past. This was the start of my downturn. Even though I've tried to shake off that reputation, it's really hard when you establish it, considering that the general userbase was 13-15 year old kids and I didn't fit in with them at all. Come the end of 2016, I joined Reddit and started using that more frequently than that cesspool of a forum. It was set to be, as a few months later I joined PC, cut ties with Super Mario Bros. X, and now live a happy life over on here and Reddit.
