Your username sounds vaguely familiar... Some old, old people have been coming back lately. The "Mega Man 9" effect, perhaps?

I'll easily admit that it can be interesting to look back on what happened several years ago and compare it with today's background. That's one of the reasons why I try to keep complete archives of everything I do on the computer: you can learn from looking back on the past, and it's interesting to see how much things changed over time. When I compare my first posts available online (1999, almost 10 years ago!), I can see how much I moved forward.

In any case, weclome back!

Oh, god, Aspies..., yeah, pretty much I totally agree. (Please identify yourself when you add me as a friend in order to see that blog - http://myspace.com/dkamgiciangirl.) However, I feel inclined to tell you that most people at this board will have no idea what you mean by "aspies".

2002 wasn't that long ago for the rest of us - I was in high school, for example, where my life and personality is pretty much the same as it is now. Most of the members of this board are either a) at just right age where 2002 wasn't very long ago or don't post very often or post very short replies when they do post, or "generic topics" (What's your favorite color etc.). Sure there are a lot of people that were in maybe Jr. High and are now about to graduate high school, but their method of posting and online personality has not usually changed much except maybe that we *all* post less often here.

I most certianly was not a "faggot" when I was 11, and neither was anybody else here most likely unless they are still gay today (and as far as I know, we have no openly gay members here though there are a few bisexual females - but only those who frequented the chatrooms know it). In addition, I have never used the letter "u" as a standalone word, unless it's because I was masturbating while typing or something along those lines, nor have I ever used 6 emoticons in a row for no reason at all, etc., and neither has a single person that I knew IRL when I was 11, other then my stepmother who is 46. Well and my youngest sister but she was only a year old at the time.

Also, typing the things you wrote in all caps and editing your post 3 times without removing the old "edited by" messages are things reminiscent of one that would be stereotypically, sarcastically, or... defamatorily referred to as "an 11-year-old n00b", though the ages of 12, 13, 7 and occasionally 9 are more commonly used then 11.

In addition, one of the most intelligent people on this board, and the *only* one who makes sure his typing is always exactly, perfectly, grammatically correct with no errors or typoes whatsoever even in IMs was 13 when I joined this board, in 2004 I believe.

I don't even know who you're talking about, Hollow.

Also, for the 2 - 3 years I was in the chatroom while they were also active, you didn't come there very often. I think you went there more often before I joined here.
