I signed up here after visiting forums for 8-ish years, so I did a lot of maturing before I got here.

That said, I actually was looking at some posts I made at the oldest, still-in-existence forum I post at. Man, it's kinda embarrassing. I was also like 15-ish years old at the time, so that was probably part of it.
If you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste.
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste.

Let's all take a look at my welcome thread and cringe at the horror of it all!

Hello..... I'm new here, but not to vB Pokemon boards since this is the 5th I've joined (SPP, BMG, TPM and PWC are the others). Well, just came to say Hi........ OK you can stop looking now.... STOP IT!!!
(Full disclosure: I have no idea what TPM or PWC are in the context of Pokemon forums. PwC just reminds me of the accountancy firm.)

I'd like to think I've improved since those nooby days of 2004. Indeed, I must have improved considerably to become staff back in the good ol' days. Since then, however, I don't really know how much I've 'changed'. When I came back to PC after my absence, apart from being slightly shy around some of the new people, my writing style has remained constant, I've always tried to follow the rules and... yeah. I think I've been relatively consistent ever since I came back. All of my 'improving' happened between stints on PC, as I grew and improved as a person, in my own way. :D

I'd say I've changed quite a bit since my early days here. It's a bit hard to explain, but I feel like I acted quite differently as a person back then, not to mention that I in the beginning kept reviving dead threads around everywhere. Since I was only in the Emulation section all the time between summer 2010 to summer 2011, where I wasn't really active and never posted, it was quite different for me venturing out into the rest of the forum, which lead to a few screw-ups, though nothing major. After that I left PC, came back around January this year, and I feel like I had matured a bit since before I left PC, I made friends, and I felt like the return was a new start for me at PC, where I made it further than I expected at the time.

So in short, I was inexperienced with the whole forum stuff and screwed up here and there on a few rules and whatnot in my early days, though I left for a while and returned to try again with the forum, in which I don't feel like I've showed any signs of being a noob :p
