This is targeted mainly at older board people, 6 months +. Look at yourself now, and compare to yourself when you first joined. What comes next? your call.

Why stop there? Compare now to any point in your life. We\'ve all matured, we\'ve grown. Anyone will tell you that, take last summer. We\'ve all grown since July \'03. I think that\'s been the big growing too.

When I read my old posts from when I first joined this board, I can\'t help but think how shitty of a member I was. I used to be pretty hostile. Maybe I\'m the same still, but I don\'t feel that way myself.

Though, I never was a lamer here, so that\'s not too bad.

I still don\'t think I\'m that good of a member, but at least I\'m not as hostile.

Well when I look back at the spam i did and now im stoping from making the same mistake a second time.

I rememebr the days when I used to spam, make mistakes, and bump up old topics but I\'m trying to stop that as of now even though I\'m still not over doing that same mistake.{Ahhhhhhhh, good times, good times.}

I\'ve become far more cynical than I was before.
I basically go insane if people join ioekaki only to break the rules. (Especially when they\'re young kids who don\'t get it after I explain it to them. AAAAAAAAAAARGH.)

Some people have noticed that sometimes I appear to keep to myself and appear unfriendly, but when they talk to me on one on one, they\'re usually surprise how much that\'s the opposite.

I suppose, I appear cranky because I have to deal with the crap problems in real life as well as the crazy lamers who can\'t seem to understand stuff.

I understand, when I first joined, I couldn\'t fit in. But now, I\'m a five-star member:D!

Now, our anscestors were talking to each other since the Stone Age.

Stars under your title don\'t mean anything, Kiryu. You\'re still an annoying spammer.

When I joined this board, I was alot nicer I believe. Because there was less people..and the spammers were very easy to spot and report. Course, not all of the spammers were taken care of... I think actually Fred started my hostility. It\'s frustrating, having a spammer that will pay attention to no one, no matter what you say to them. *points at Kiryu* I guess there\'s another reason why I\'m hostile.

But, I was also alot more immature back then. I still get into pointless flame wars now and then, but I start them alot less than I used to.

It\'s kind of odd, now that I think about it. It\'s like Necro and I reversed..I\'m the hostile one and he\'s the easygoing one.

Hmm... been here for year or so, I guess I can post.


Back when I was 9 and joined, well, I didn\'t Spam much, but my grammar (sp?) really sucked. I bet people wouldn\'t understand me... . But, since then, I have changed. Better grammar, try to make no Spam, and well, here I am now.


Also, Kiryu, stars don\'t mean anything. It shows I think the number of posts you have (In you case, Spam).

If stars showed the quality of the members, it would be over 5 for some people, and others, like you, would be down near 1, there would be some even that would be 0.

I\'d give you a .5

As for my reflection, I need more time on that one.

If it were up to me, I\'d want 2 stars. Nice, even number. Then we wouldn\'t have such non-sense about stars, at least on my part. Anyways Kiyru, I just noticed how Necro and probably Break have 6 stars, so It seems you shall never be in the highest rank.

My past on this board, I disliked it.

I had better days. I don\'t think I\'ll go into detail but I was pretty bad, praise the Doc I wasn\'t banned. The older members know what I\'m talking about. It was weird though, I wasn\'t that bad of a kid, just if I got a keyboard ...... >.>


EDIT: If it\'s any reflection of my personallity from back then I\'ll tell you I\'ve never changed my avatar. I hate that damned docter >.>

Jebus Christ kid. If you banned all people that are worse than Holly that would be about 2,500 people banned. And you would be in that number.

Hollow doesn\'t need to be banned, you do.

It\'s getting way too easy to piss the lamers off. =\\

I thought this was a topic about your changes, not \"who\'s most suiteble for banning\", but who am I to judge right?

Personally, I don\'t think I\'ve changed much. I wasn\'t very old when I joined, so I guess I\'m at least slightly more inteligent now (I hope), but only visited a few times that one month. Now I visit every day, but I rarely post anymore since I don\'t find the topics that interesting anymore, or i just don\'t have anything to contribute with. The only real reason why I stay here now is that I feal I know a few of you (you know who you are )

The fact that there is a lack of \"inteligent\" topics bothers me. Back when even Kei was around, there were a whole bunch of philosophical topics and such, now for the most part the only thing left is\"omg! luuk-1 mah anime toopik!\" I have nothing to add to that and thereby have no reason to post. I guess that\'s why I visit the Oekaki and chat more frequently now I guess...

Oh, please. No offense to you at all, Snakeman, but it\'s always silly when people think Kei was the one making all the \"intelligent\" topics.

He typed in huge paragraphs and used Thesaurus.com. Big deal.

But you know..everyone that posted in this topic I believe, is intelligent. Well, except a scant few. But almost all of us could create a topic with huge paragraphs and big words.

Do we have the time for that though? Usually not. We have hobbies, you see.

Please...don\'t remind me of my first posts...\"Uh...I\'m confused.Can someone explain?\" Peh..I should have been banned that instant. -_-\' .Hopefull people don\'t see me as that spammer anymore,just as an insane,Sonic worshipping, freak -o- nature. *Shot* IMO,I believe I matured a bit from my n00b days,but...thats just me...Peh...feel free to disagree with me now. *Goes to hide in a cage*

Hmm...I\'m still fairly new in comparison to some others here, but I think I\'ve changed enough for me to reflect a bit. Back when I joined the board, I was looking for a niche, and as a result posted in quite a few topics I knew about, and some I didn\'t, just to see if anyone would come and pat me on the back. I was so kind, so nice, so...foolish, then.

Now I\'ve hardened a bit, so I don\'t need anyone\'s opinion to justify my beliefs. I\'m still fairly kind and forgiving, but I begin to see the pointlessness of asking spammers and lamers nicely to \"Please don\'t make help posts outside the help topics\". But hey, I\'m still kind, nice, caring Serpentarius!

(I also clicked the \"Report\" button on every single one of those spam topics... Until Breakman set me strait, at least.)

Now here\'s a sunken topic I want to reply to.

The only thing I can think of is that I\'m less of a flawed attention whore, who\'s also pessimistic about everything, I was back in 2002.
I guess that finishing college has finally tossed of all the emotional weight I had.

Besides that I haven\'t really changed, I think.

Comparing me to my former self.... Hey, just so you all remember, i\'m almost a veteran too! By God, I crave recognition!:lol: Just kidding.

Anyways, I looked through Ultimate X\'s (a.k.a. BEST ARTIST EVER\'s) gallery on the Ioekaki, and found that one of my first comments was \"Mayl! Yay!\" My brother also informs me that my first comment ever saw \"Yay, Kirby!\", as though Kirby was a rare occurance.:P

Compared to my old posts, I believe that I have become quite uncomfortabley straightforward, I say \"Lord\" and \"God\" too much, I am far more controversial, and I post longer stuff. 1/4 ain\'t bad, right?
