Eh, I somewhat changed I think, or not. I just don't know in what ways lol. Maybe I increased my stalking skills. Yes, definitely xD Oh and I'm okay with gays/bisexuals/lesbians now. Good thing. I can't think of anything else that was significant though.

LOL! I'm so happy I just found this thread.

Man, when I first joined PC I was rediculous. Pretty sure I was just crazy obsessed with being a mod. I remember going around mini-modding for like, half a year or so to no avail. And I was super ticked when my Feebas Guide didn't get me the position either (LOL). Eventually I was just like 'man, whatever' and started actually making friends and stuff rather than just kissing *** to staff. That's when PC actually became fun for me. I had my ups and downs, but hey - I'm still here, am I not? It's actually been pretty crazy, but I wouldn't change it for anything.

lol, I was kinda like that at first but then I relized that I didn't really care whether or not I was a mod.
I dropped it quite a while ago.

I was kinda stupid and a bit new to this forum stuff when I joined- and that was actually, like, 6 years ago! People change in 6 years, you know. But well, while I have matured, I didn't lose my personality from back then. Ironically though, inverse to most here, I've become less open about my feelings and stuff due to some hardships and, um, interesting experiences.

Still, I regret nothing!

Since joining here (four days ago?) I think I've become more awesome.
Your postcount was 69 when I read your post- if that was on purpose, I concord, you really have.

It changed me for the better and for the worse.

My English is now better and I can type full sentences O_o (I was born in Austria). I have something to do other than Facebook and MSN, now. I can't say I matured, because I don't see how I can mature on the Internet, IMO. If I matured, it's probably in RL, anyways.

However, I became less social now and refuse to go out as much I did before. It's not actually this forum's fault, for I am on multiple forums, atm. I stay in my room more and I don't see my family a lot xD

To be completely honest, it was a rather mediocre experience around here.

I don't know if I've changed... In all honesty. At least not meteorically... I'll admit... I spent about my first month just kinda poking into trade threads but never really posting because I wasn't sure I had anything acceptable... I always figured I wouldn't have them waste the 5 seconds it would take to tell me no. Now since then I've become a little bolder, but that nagging feeling still keeps hold on me.

In fact, if any of my friends on the site read this, I wonder if they'd be surprised to know that in real life I'm not so well accepted. Which is where the uneasy feeling comes along... I was always scared that I'd just be wasting everyone's time after so many rejections and so often being harassed elsewhere.

When I first joined I guess I believed I'd be treated the same as I'm used to... Harshly.... Aside from the one who referred me to come in the first place. I have made other friends since then... But.. I don't know. I don't want to get too personal. :)

So I don't think I changed too much but it's up to the reader as well, in my opinion.

Back in 2007, I was rather immature and ya know', the typical 14 year old who has never been on the internet or any forums or community. This made me seem like a noob on many forums. Most of my replies would either be one-word replies or just pointless posts.

Now in 2010, being the 17 year old that I am; I find myself much more reserved and more mature, both in my manner of speech and in my thoughts. I also put thought into my posts these days instead of just posting one-word replies. ;D

Maybe, in 3 years' time, I might become a better individual? xD Who knows, just maybe... :3

Despite my join date, I first joined in December 2006. I don't think I can list the ways I've changed. I've matured a hell of a lot, I've been through some rough times, and some rougher times. I think essentially, my nearing-four years on PC has matured me and opened my eyes to quite a few key things. PC, as a forum, is not all that great down to its core, but the people on here are very genuine. If they aren't here for the right reasons, chances are the person will stop signing on after just a few days. But I've met a total of 4 people, two of which I've met on more than one occasion. And no, none of them, at any given time, were rapists. They were not a legion of rapists out to get me. And I really respect that from PC, because I truly do feel that PC does not have to worry with the lurking predator.

But, as for myself changing, I'll say it again, I've matured a hell of a lot after my stay at PC. It's really all burning out now, and I don't use PC for nearly the same reasons as I used to, but once you get hooked on something, you get fucking hooked.

I looked at some of my first threads that I created, I realized my grammar was terrible. Therefore, that's the first thing that I noticed a change in since I joined XD.

Also, I wasn't ever real sociable of a person, on PC and in daily life. However, I've noticed a small change in my sociability since I've joined.

In real life, I've started up kickboxing, weights and athletics. I interact with people differently, in a good way.

Online, I use fullstops now.

Hmm, I don't think I changed very much since I first joined. I think I was a bit more shy and immature back then. I've gotten better since then, I think. =)

I think how I changed can be summed up by a few quotes at first.

Below, my first three threads were in Community Questions and Feedback.

Hi i was thinking can you download Pikachu's jukebox and pokemon kareokemon video, i tried pokemon music network but that didn't help because they didn't have them in english if you know a website that solves my problem can you please reply to this with the website thanx
Hi well i was wonderin which pokemon songs do ya's like da best also i was wonderin does anyone no now 2 download pokemon jukebox and Kareokemon
Original or Johto
do any of uze no if dere iz a website of pokemon music coz if u do no any otha website besides pokemon music network coz i wanna download pokemon jukebox vidz and pokemon kareokemon vidz thanx and please reply to dis if u no a website bye
I'd like to think I matured grammar-wise, as well as when it comes to common sense, too. I typed that way because I thought that was the way it was meant to be typed. Then! I made a thread in PTV&M, asking about Pokemon on TV, then... a thread in Advanced Generation Games, because I assumed Jake watched over everything I did.

first of all sorry for sending stuff to wrong forums it was a mistake. Can you get mew or Celebi on ruby and sapphire? because my Dad thinks he can get every pokemon[except for those two] and i wanna outdo him. by the way since i got sapphire my favourite pokemon has been torchic, and my toughest was Sableye thanx for listening.
Yes, lovely... way2ignore rules, self.

During January 2006, I created many pointless clubs. And thus started my obsession with MCG. I posted images and some words - that was pretty much all my posts consisted of. Oh and I also attempted to branch out to other forums, as you can see here. Why? Because I saw what other people did and I chose to copy them, assuming that I could be just like them. Hahaha...

By the end of 2006, I found friends and started to mature...somewhat? I dunno, I posted lots in the DCC for post count, because that was my obsession at the time. Oh and I just need to include this because my account got merged and I miss my old userid ;;. Oh and then about April 2007, I started making OVP threads for the fun of it. AND DURING THAT TIME I USED TO SAY STUPID WORDS SUCH AS "TEH". D:

I also made the thread for the "2007 April Fools". In 2007, I also used to think everyone liked me and that TCTI was the most popular thread of all. So then about 2008, I was still immature as a whole but I typed better. Sort of. And um... I also used to make lots of OT threads because I wanted OT which is because of TCTI.

October 2008, when I became a supporter, I thought I could do anything etc etc, and I was really annoying. I wanted attention for like, everything. Aaaand, I wanted perks. Because clearly supporters who didn't even donate are entitled to lots of perks. :( lolwut, apparently I made how to seduce a staff member (oh all of this was for attention too obv). OH. And I made people feel bad because I didn't care what I said so sometimes I said heartless things. And now... I'm paranoid of what I say to everyone and I apologise for it. XD; I also spammed OVP threads for the longest time because that was totally mature of me.

Umm... after the dramas of mid-09, I sort of tried to be a better person and I tried not to get into dramas with people - but I didn't try to avoid doing stupid things. I just sort of handled situations incorrectly and at the end of May 2010, I made a mature decision to tell someone something, which ended up fine in the end. After that, I became much nicer to everyone, did less stupider things and by July I was actually acting somewhat respectable.

And now I'd like to think I'm waaaay more mature than I was in the past. I'm just scared of smods now! I also think I skipped parts but that doesn't really matter.
