If PC didn't exist I would have been still at SPPf, and it would have been to a point that I would have left there anyway. And maybe I would have moved on my life. Finished school and all that stuff. I probably wouldn't have met a lot of wonderful people. And I wouldn't have been so knowable about Pokemon. Well the anime that is.

 

[Ho-Oh]

If PC didn't exist… I would have had real social issues (yeah, I would've probably had no social life at all, since like, I didn't really go anywhere with people from high school due to my own choice.) I would have gotten better grades at the end of year 12 (since yeah, I would've gotten over TV, which would result in me actually studying more.) I probably would've missed high school more though, as that would've been the only place to interact with other people. I would've enjoyed work experience more at channel 10 (since there wouldn't have been any drama to worry about.) This means that I would've done more to make sure they remembered me. I wouldn't have gone to another Pokemon forum either, since I only stayed at PC because I felt bad for spamming it asking for Pokemon music. I wouldn't have found out about MSN for… well, idk, because of a PC member I started using MSN, same goes for Youtube too. Although Youtube would have become more popular, so I would've used that, but just maybe not MSN. I wouldn't have started making any type of graphics (even if they do fail~) I wouldn't have liked Britney Spears and a lot of other artists/songs, such as Big Bang and BoA.

I wouldn't have also met my friends (who are just so omg awesome), nor had dramas. I would've still had the stupid views of a four year old regarding the world (refer to the 2007/2006 me >_>;) I would've been playing games online rather than conversing online. My mind wouldn't have been as dirty as it is now. ;; Oh, and I wouldn't have had a headset. I would've had a big Pokemon obsession. I wouldn't have learnt certain words if it weren't for PC, and I wouldn't have learnt how to spell vegemite correctly for a long time. I wouldn't take pictures of TV shows, since I'd have no need for that, instead I'd record every TV show and spend almost all my time watching it. I would've had less enjoyable memories too, only those from my childhood. I would've felt less accepted in life (as I wasn't really in primary school and only in the last few years of high school.) I guess I would've seen the world differently.

I remember in 2004 or something, I said to myself "I won't become one of those people who use the Internet everyday." Guess what? I did. I became something I didn't want to, but overall, PC has really changed my life. It also helped me learn touch typing and helped me type faster with both fingers.

Without PC, my life just wouldn't seem complete. I have PC to thank for the person I am today, since really, before PC I was a completely different person (and yeah, I'm different to who I was in June/July, meaning I keep changing for the better~)

Yeah, that's about all I can think of at this moment. :>

Without PC, I would've taken more difficult courses during my senior year, and I'd probably be a lot more social. Heck, I might have even gotten a job. Perhaps even a promotion for said job by this point. I would have planned a little bit better for my future, and I might not have ended up switching schools and majors after only one semester as I currently am.

But on the other hand, I wouldn't have met all the great people I've met and had all the fun times. I wouldn't have people I'm able to talk to no matter what time of day it is. I wouldn't have something to preoccupy my time when I'm bored to tears, and I just don't see my grammar being of the same caliber it is now. Becoming "one of those people that are always on the internet" was actually a pretty good decision. I do wish I'd go out and do more social things, but I don't see a reason why I can't do that and still be active around these parts. Just lazy, I guess.

OH MY GOSH!

If PC never existed, then I'd be a spamful n00b like I was before I joined this site. I would've probably never meet Gav, or Nica, or Fi. I might of never really "shaped" into who I am. My depression level would've gotten worse to the point where the "unthinkable" could happen and, I would have no one, or nothing, to aspire.( Gav :>)

However, I could have less distractions when I'm trying to do my homework or study. And I could probably read more books and play video games as often as I used to.

I'm more surprised at the fact that someone who's really close to Gummy didn't know that me and Fiona were a couple.

BUT. That's a discussion for another place. :3

Compared to other people, I'm not really all that close to him. :(
And it's not like you guys crop up whenever we talk. xD
"Oh by the way, did you hear? Sublime and Franz, blah blah, you know?"

It's usually more like, "Oh by the way, did you hear? Dukey is sleeping on the couch tonight, lol."

So off-topic.

IF PC NEVER EXISTED...
My sense of humor would suck. D:
And echoing everyone else, I wouldn't have met awesome people.
Since like, nobody at my school has the same interests as me, yet 50% of PC does.

 

[Eucliffe]

I'd probably still be on Nutrinopets and Gaia Online, which is where I came from. And I'd be dealing with the n00bs there still >.> Some people were cool, though, but others... Yeah...

Oh, and I probably wouldn't be into some of the things I'm into today :3

The day PC never exists is the day it also gets a new slogan.

Plus, I probably would've never found out about hacks, but that's a different story.

Edit: Aaaaand, I would've never met Tara, or Nica, or Rika/Fable, or Riley/Apple Juice, and all the rest of you guys :3

If PC had never existed...

I think my self esteem wouldn't have been as high as it actually is now. I don't dislike myself, as I once did. And it can be because... A couple of years ago, I was much more in love with Pokémon than I am today. But I kept it such a huge secret that I felt bad for thinking they were cool and playing the games. Because I thought I was alone!

When I found PC... I don't really remember how it happened. But when I realized that there were, not a few but THOUSANDS of, more people around the world who was like me, enjoying Pokémon like me, playing, writing fanfiction and all that... at some point then, I realized that I wasn't bad. I wasn't stupid in any way; I was just one of many others like me. And everything turned, and a self confidence sprouted.

If PC had never existed, I could have been a shameful little girl who didn't dare thinking that she was someone, and who was frightened by loud and popular people. Instead, I am happy and living my life more or less fully, but in any case just as I want to, as a woman (gurl? XD) nearing the end of her teenage. Because I've learned that you should be who you want to be, not what others want you to be.

If PC never existed, I would most likely would have never met all of the good friends I have (whom do not come online here anymore, ironically), and I would still be in square one at the GameShark Forums trying to push them to make the Pokemon section much more interesting.

I originally joined following a Google search because I was bored. I didn't have internet at home, and was quite frankly board out of my mind. I was looking for a way to play Pokemon games on my computer off the net. I ended up in the ROM hacking section. I actually joined so I could download some attachment. I can't even remember which thread it was.

A mounth later, I somehow ended up at PC again, the details escape me. I was looking for something.

I was enrolled (not yet attending) college. I stumbled on the Fan Fiction section via a link in someone's signiture to there story.

The first fic I actually read was Stir of the Thunderstorm. I remember reading it right after English class one day, and thinking "I can do this too." btw, I'm still trying

I started coming here every time I was on the internet. I always like Pokemon, but I was never this obsessed with them until PC.

I can say that PC has helped my self esteem a lot.

If PC never existed, I honestly can not say where I would be or what I would be doing. Hell I may have never moved. I didn't move because of PC, but with out the character PC has put in me, I would have stayed longer.

I can say that PC has helped my self esteem a lot.

It has given me confidence in my programming (I used to suck. XD, also, had no foresight and was lazy... heh, I'm still lazy).

And pokecommunity led me to atheism. Little-known fact, but it was an extremely indirect route. In the same way that an old (dead now) flash animation site, punkmac, led me here a few years later. I enjoy being able to trace events in my life to seemingly insignificant yet pivotal moments. ;) It's also partly what led me to (fail to) learn to lucid dream - a route which depended on me installing linux. Nice little web of life I have here, nostalgic.

Another interesting one: Elitemap led me to Kyoufu Kawa's site, which led me to 4chan. It also led me sort-of-indirectly to Dwedit's site, when I realized I'd seen one of his animations before. Dwedit's animations played a partial yet still significant role in me discovering anime.

If I hadn't been to this site, I'd also probably be a lot less fond of reverse-engineering, if I ever discovered it. I'd have a different real-life friend group and as a result would probably have worse grades.

Also, I seem to have learned a little on the subtleties of forum conduct - though I'm sure I still make negative impressions on people without noticing.
