    I was a big asshat and I bucked authority here. I got a rise out of all the nonsense and stupid arguments. I have very much mellowed out.

    I can't stand looking back at my time here in EoFF because I was, by all accounts, a royal dick. I can just barely bring myself to read this user note:


    I can't bring myself to look at any more. I sort of wish all my posts and anything related to me from 2007-my leaving were just deleted.

    I managed to register a second account and posted as a new person. It lasted well until it was eventually banned. I think Psy caught on, or something.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    When I created Formalhaut, it got merged with Balthier Rocks. To be honest, I probably would have preferred have Balthy getting offed

    I created two second accounts and didn't get caught either time. The only reason the staff knows about them is because I told them.

    ((Three actually, but the one that's active right now doesn't count; I'll tell the staff about it a year or so after I stop using it))

    I was nicer and more caring and friendly to people. This led to me getting bombarded by people needing validation in their lives, which turned me into an emotional crutch at first and then turned me bitter.

    I used a lot more smiley faces, got a lot more excitable and was more of an attention whore.

    I was new to forums and didn't really know how to post, etc. I remember not knowing the difference between a post or a thread or a forum, but I learned with some help. I know I didn't use enough emoticons so some of my posts showed up as sounding not like they were intended to sound like. Other than that I don't think I was much different than I am now since I was already all grown up when I joined and not a teenager.

    It's weird how everyone is very negative about their EoFF past. I have fond memories of old posts by a lot of long-time members.

    Maybe the past versions of you would think that you're boring and too mature now? Except for Raistlin, of course.

    I concur. So much negativity regarding their past. What's done is done. Learn from the past so you can improve for the future. Or something like that.

    I agree with the past few sentiments. Atop all that the forums was one of the few places I felt really safe to be me. I wasn't afraid to speak my mind or explore who I really was.

    Boldly go.
