Do you get embarrassed by your old posts?

[mysticboy]

Everything I posted in the "B*tch I look like Goku" thread. Oh god...

[jjgp1112]

Yes, very much so. My grammar and shit was fine, but i was an ignorant douchebiscuit. I still am, but way much less so

[CashmanX]

*Checks old posts* Oh lawd yes....

Despite the fact that I joined nearly 9 years ago, I was already an adult at the time, so nothing from my earlier posts is embarrassing to me. Hell, I recently looked at some things I had posted on the Internet back in high school, and it still sounded like "me", rather than some petulant child who's now a stranger to me.

Thankfully (rather, hopefully), there are no longer any records of Prodigy chat room conversations I was involved in when I first starting using the Internet at age 13 in the mid 90s. I needed to type in ALL CAPS because, obviously, I had such deep and important thoughts that everyone needed to be pay attention to them

I've been around this community so long that I'd be a horrible liar if I said no. There's been some terribly bone headded things I've said in the *checks year* 13 years I've been wtih this community (albiet thankfully for me this forum only shows back to 2004).

I enjoy the forums in 2009 after lurking the forums since 2004. So not really, but I do admit of reading my old post from other sites from years ago. I hate looking at my old Gamespot post from 2005 - 2006.

The only thing I regret is the shit I ever said to new people via PM and in the old Introduction threads.


Back in the day, when we could post in Introduction threads...back when there were dinosaurs and...I forget what but it was a while ago.

I've always been able to type well, and I don't think I've ever been too obnoxious here (elsewhere, on the other hand...). Not too long ago I saw some of my posts from 2004 that seemed fine. But I know I've made various factual errors or dumb jokes over the years (some of which I think happened in just 2012), and that's definitely embarrassing.

But life is about learning and growing. We all have flaws and mistakes, and we can train and power up to hopefully defeat them someday.

(And in a year or so, I'll probably think this analogy was a little too corny.)

Haha. Yes! Two of my worst posts got me banned, twice. Separately. Once was in late 2004 I think, I forgot what it was, probably providing links to episodes. Then like in 2006, I realized I could go to the forums again, but only to be banned a week later for posting torrents of full episodes and torrents of released DBZ music. I joined the forum for a third time in 2007, and since then I knew this wasn't a place to fuck around with. So then I started joining conversations and even contributing with what I could, mostly in the music section. Hahah, I always think Mike gave me one more strike, before strike three. You're out! But I was able to do it and man did it change my life.

Honestly, many of my posts still suck... I don't try too hard sometimes.

There's record online of my posts on a forum I ran from 2004. I was 14, so, yeah... the ridiculousness, immaturity and embarrassing statements in my posts is literally cringe-worthy for me to read. I forgot my password to it so I can't go in and delete the damn thing to put it out of its misery.
