    How have you changed from when you first joined? In rl and on here. Have you become more mature? More talkative? More outgoing? etc.
     
    I was just using this account to lurk, but I think it might actually be a bit more fitting to reply using it instead of Timbjerr since I got myself into a lot more trouble when this was my main account that in turn caused me to think about who I was and matured... XD

    If you weren't here when I was an S-mod on this account, count yourself lucky. I was immature, confrontational, self-righteous, and highly opinionated. These factors allowed me to get played by...a certain upper staff member at the time...because he didn't like...a certain blatant display of homosexuality between two other staff members...I lost my temper and made baseless assumptions more times than I'd like to admit. I eventually just stopped coming here because of it... >_<

    In the interim years, I've grown up a lot and learned to mellow out when I needed to...both online and off...although that temper problem still arises every once in a while at...certain workplaces I've worked at. >_>

    All in all, I'm definitely more chill and laid-back nowadays than I was back in the day... XD

    God, just using this account again gets me back into my old typing habits...with the overuse of ellipses and everything... >_<
     
    Every year since I've joined, I've become progressively more and more mature.

    Well, I think so.

    LIkee tmbjr I've had (and still have) a huuuge anger management problem which is getting better and better.

    I've become much less outgoing than when I had originally joined but it seems that its a facet of my life that's perking up again. This forum has been there for me practically through all my ups and downs and I guess that's why I've never left it even though I've been so... retarded here. <:

    PC has just been a very open / accepting place that's helped me relax and ease into my natural personality type. <: I can only imagine where I'd be right now if I continued to hang with the crowd/people I used to hang out with. The most important thing it's given me is insight into what is socially acceptable. :x

    I swear there was something wrong with me years ago. did all that make sense just then?
     
    Hi, I'm <insert first username here>, and this is my first post
    Click to expand...

    I seriously want to ****ing punt myself.

    I think this mathematical function represents my maturity level in percentage from when I joined:

    (-402/x + 99) for x => 0


    I can't find any other way besides math to explain this.
     
    I was a lot more energetic. I liked to help people. I eventually got bit in the ass by helping too much. Got used by a lot of people; had to block a few. I am basically more by myself now. Makes me want to sing this song!

     
    I think I've grown more mature on here, while still keeping a bit of immaturity as well. It just wouldn't be me if I wasn't immature sometimes. As for real life...that's a different story...
     
    I reckon I've gotten more like open to internet friendships and stuff. I never really used to VM often or make conversation with members here, but now I love it. I guess it's part of being more comfortable in this community as well, like I've been here nearly three years and I've come to know the same faces and people with similar interests to me; it just makes making friends easier and a lot more fun!
     
    Well, when I first joined a few years ago after getting D/P, I was angry, very angry. So angry I got banned. repeatedly.

    Since then, I've created another account...which I then quit, after getting tons of infractions in S+M meaning people didn't trust me elsewhere (as we still had the ever-so-broken reputation system back then).

    I created this account umm...Aug. 2009. I think I've become a bit more mature, friendlier, more likely to ramble, an obsessive user of commas, and a bit of a grammar-obsessed freak.

    I've also become even more indecisive...repeatedly restarting my games due to not enjoying them :P

    But like moments, I've also become more open to internet friendships (even if I did shudder violently and uncontrollably when somebody suggested he could've visited me).

    Overall, I think I've become a more calm, calculated and mature person. Who has an excessive use of commas, images and bulbapedia references.
     
    Man, have I changed so much since waaaaaaay back when I first started in 2008? I remember the time that I was very immature back then, which I know it was my autism was still pretty high back then. Of course... it's impossible to get rid of autism when you've got it, but it can decrease if you really do want to improve, which of course I did. I still remember the times when I did some pretty silly things like mini modding in threads stating that I reported users and all that back in 2008. I even remember the time when I stupidly typed up the same welcome in the NU/W threads, when I got infracted for it, I over-reacted sooooo badly. And not to also mention... I was very spoiled back then, which is exactly what autism can do to ya, I'm afraid. Yes, a spoiled brat. When I got infracted at that time, I thought I was soooo wonderful and thought "ohh it's not fair, I've been around since January and never gotten infracted". That's how immature I was back then, and not to also mention... I was sooooo gullible back then as well, I fell for a scam back in September 2008, a person with the email [email protected] pretended to be Jeremy (one of the Smods back then), and he said that something went wrong with PC and asked for my password, I was sooo stupid... that I actually gave it to him, then he told me to logout of the account, after a few minutes, I noticed how the account was still online, then suddenly the account got...
    Booted out. xD
    Yep, that's right! The account was banned and after Mewthree was asking me a question, I told him that someone asked for my password because of a problem on PC, and he told me that I was hacked. So then he changed the password to a simple password so that I could login again, I logged in and noticed a PM message titled "You have recieved an infraction at The PokéCommunity Forums!" from ClassicRockFan. It was infraction for Pornography/Indecent content, so no wonder the account got banned. xD So yeah, it also quoted the post that the scammer posted when he logged into my account, did I also forget to tell you that he changed my signature as well? Yeah, to some inappropiate word repeating over and over again. I can't believe the scammer also removed all of my profile pictures and removed almost everything I had, he probably was going to change it to some inappropiate stuff. Thank goodness the staff stopped him before he could do anything more. So yeah, after that... I never fell for a scam ever again, even on chats... it doesn't matter what they say... I would never give away my password, even if it's a person claiming to be staff, because I know they never need anyone's password. Ever since I was on xat, I also matured from meeting new people and getting along with them. And since I made my return to PC, I will always focus on the present, I will never worry about the future or the past. Because it only causes problems. I learned all of my mistakes in the past, and I know to never do them again. Since nowadays I'm just way too nice... I care about everyone... regardless of how bad they are or how awful they've been.

    As for reality... I was indeed dignosed with autism when I was little, and before 2008 and 2009... my autism was really high back then and I was very immature, I did horrible things like when I was little... I smashed stuff just because I liked the sound of how it broke, I always ran off, was sensitive to certain sounds and movements (which I ended up blocking my ears back then), and I slapped others because liked the way they cried (which was a horrible thing I did back then). That's right... I could never even understand back then and couldn't even since I was 14, I learned very slowly and nowadays I don't want to learn slowly... I expect myself to learn much quickly, like everyone else would. Since I was dignosed with autism that had severe learning difficulties, I never went to a normal school, I started at a school for people with an interlectual disability. And I can tell you... I was never able to change to a normal school, because they would reject me due to the fact that I would be sooo far behind in the year level. Nowadays I get along with people very well, but nothing's perfect anyways. xD Um... oh wait! It's already 7:28 AM here, I was distracted by other things while I was working on typing this all up. xD So yeah, that's pretty much all of it, and that just shows... how much I've changed since back then. I'm pretty sure others might have different opinions, but that's just life. ^^
     
    I suppose I've become more mature and more outgoing online. When I first joined I pretty much stuck to the fan fiction area, but as I became more comfortable on PC and became bored with fan fiction, I started to branch out into other sections of the site and become more active. Experiences from other sites have also caused me to stray away from most arguments and heated debates.

    And about a year after joined is when I developed my obsession with Buick automobiles and changed my username to reflect my newfound fascination xD
     
    Oh, definitely more outgoing than I was when I re-joined. I kept around 500 posts for a half a year because I liked to lurk around more than post.
    Posting scared me a little back then because I was really timid and didn't want to be known.

    I also strike up conversations with other people via VMs way more often than I did back in '09.
    I've come out of the shell, and I'm so glad I did. This is much more fun! :D

    If it wasn't for this site, I don't think I would have liked Pokemon for as long as I did. I by no means hate it now, but I don't actively keep up with it anymore. But we are all inevitably more mature as time goes on, so I don't think the site has anything to do with that. I would say since I've joined the site, I've become much more social of a person. I made a lot of good friends here back in the day, and those relationships definitely helped change who I am today.
