Title: Old Shames on the FF.
Post by: Jman on March 06, 2010, 08:34:37 PM
This may be a touchy topic for people to talk about, so you don't need to say anything if you don't want to.  I was reading some of my old forum posts from around 2003-2005, and I have to say some of them were rather embarrassing.  I'm not talking about statements on my faith, because I still hold true to my faith.  What I'm talking about are the most infamous moments of yours truly, such as my Anti-Pokemon phase, which got a then-good friend of mine mad at me on this very forum.  Hating Pokemon is not a bad thing, but I realize now that I was behaving like a total ******bag.  Now for a more humorous example: I used to be a fanboy-type to the core.  I'm still a Nintendo loyalist, but I've grown up now and I don't go out of my way to bash other gaming systems (at least not out of spite) anymore.  Man, most of my history for the first couple years here on the FF is downright humiliating!

Everything.

For the most part, I act like a real cock on this board and just about every post is embarrassing to me. I try hard not to read my old posts even though I clearly remember a number of dumb things I've done such as those random "my waifu" phases I have and anytime I try to add to a serious discussion.

PaperLuigi 2006: Conservative Christian, anti-gay rights, evolution denier, etc.

PaperLuigi 2010: Liberal atheist, pro-gay rights, evolution acceptor, etc.

Needless to say, I am highly embarrassed by some of my past remarks.

Multi-colored marquee sigs taking up several lines. But I was twelve.

2005 Glorb: Ugh, like was I eight back then?

2010 Glorb: Ugh, am I eight right now but just really sexy?

I just thought up a new one: my fanfics.  As I got older, they got better.  However, the old ones are terrible.  The good thing about fanfics is that they make for good practice writing, and now I've written (and re-written a couple times) an original novel.  I guess I'm not really "ashamed," so to speak; I just wouldn't want anybody I know reading those fics I wrote when I was about 14 and just getting started on this forum.  I mean, I had John Cena as a guest star in my Christmas story; back when he was cool that is.

Unless you count the account I made in 2003, made exactly one post with, and promptly forgot the password to, I didn't join until late 2006, when I was almost 17 and a freshman in college, so I didn't really do anything too embarrassing that I can think of.

Some of my posts on NatDT. 

Which is to say, I still hold true to just about every opinion and belief I've voiced on the board, but...  man, some of the arguments I used were just terrible.

All of my old posts. I was 12 in 2005 when I joined and my grammar was despicable. I look back and my posts were totally n00b. Like all the way. My fanfics, too. I read them now and I get this strong urge to rewrite because they're kinda just awful.

Remember when my posts used to consist mainly of memes and vulgar insinuations?

oh wait

When I first joined I used to bump old topics all the time. Koopaslaya even needed to PM me telling me to stop, haha.

Post by: Koopaslaya on March 07, 2010, 05:34:07 PM
2005 Koopaslaya: I posted a lot.

2010 Koopaslaya: I creep the boards, but rarely post.

I'm a lot dumber than I used to be.

Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now...

I've toned down my Nintendo-bashing and amped up my perverse one-liners about videogame vixens, and I think that's about it.

I haven't changed at all. What the heck..

No, that's good. You're one of the coolest members here.

I just thought of yet another example.  I realize that it's good to have American pride, but I think I took it waaaaay too far in my early days.  I can't remember who called me out on it, but I definitely deserved to be called a "raging patriot."

Behold, another static personality. If anything, I used to be more active in high school.

I sorely hope I've changed. Younger me was an immature, oblivious little brat. :/

I dunno why I acted the way I did back then. I hate reading old posts, as well.

But now, I'm just good ol' Trainman, I guess. Yeah, somethin' like that.

Your comical exclamation points bother me.

I'm more ashamed of my current self.  In the old days I did more cool (IMO) stuff here.  I also made some stupid post, but I'm ignoring those.

I also made some stupid post

Note the singular tense. That's the only stupid post he's ever made.

I believe that, bolth as TLW and UVG, I've never been less than perfect. Go ahead, you can bow to my modesty, I won't stop you.

uvg was one of my favorite members ever. TLW is pretty boring, and uses lame stuff like "ITT".

I think we could only weep for humanity's future if that wasn't "copypasta."

Hmm? Was that interpreted as doubting its original existence? What I meant was if you had posted that in this age [and at this age], it would be a sad spectacle as you would not have changed.

Now that I think about it, I used some of your older, poorly-written posts as my signature in times gone past. I was reading some of my old posts, found that signature, and resurrected it not too long ago before I changed it to the one I have now.
