You and your past lives.

[Ryan Timothy B]

I am embarrased to say that I read some of my posts again and I don' t understand them...

Now you know how we feel....  hehe

Christ.
This caused me to look through all my old posts as "Flukeblake"/"Flukezy" and the myriad of other ridiculous names.
Was I really that much of a dick? My rant on the age ban seems to suggest so...hmm.
I'd like to think that I've changed a lot since then.
...Someone back me up? Please? =|

Not terribly old, about 5 yearsish, but before I went to Japan, I built a blog from scratch out of Flash.  I still use the design/programming in my portfolio which helped me get my current job, but the writing in the blog is like a look back into another life.  After I stopped writing in this blog, I got married, had a kid, moved across the world (again).  It's seems seriously like ages ago.

It used to be at omahatookinawa.com, but now is archived on xiigames.com:

And definitely watch the video I made.  It still cracks me up!

I used to be suuuuch a jerk, not just here but on the entire rest of the internet. I think lots of young people who first discover the internet and forums can be the way I was - thinking they're funny and endearing and more important than they actually are, or thinking that certain behaviours are clever, etc. Looking back on very old posts is interesting and cringeworthy. But it's also kinda useful because I moderate some forums for my work and I now understand how to deal with and interact with the very young and hyperactive user base - they're not all bad, they're just silly excited little kids that will one day look back on their posts from today, and cringe

When I started posting here, I think my parents had just had an epic break-up, I had just started school for the first time in my life (been home educated before) and started actually really interacting with other people for the first time in my life. It was all super overwhelming, I believe I was about 14 or 15. Since then I've finished college, moved country, worked in the games industry, become an actual game designer, been through redundancies and the heartbreak of a failed new studio startup, had some stalkers, met some people I'll never forget, lost a bunch of weight, got some cats, and also do work as a community admin for another games company.



Yay I'm grown up!

That was pretty clever.  I'd be checking out Uma's ass too.

@Ryan: Indeed! I will read my post twice before clicking to the "post" button from now, just to be sure that all the meanings are clear as crystal...

I would love to see my first post (Thread). It was from August 2003. It was horrible.  I have come a long way since then.

You may have noticed that the forums were down for quite a while today, while I attempted some surgery to re-insert all the old posts from 2002-2004. This surgery wasn't a complete success, but we have now got the posts from Apr 2003 - Apr 2004, which you can find at the rear end of the various forums.

Maybe someday I'll re-visit this and add the 2002-3 ones too, but getting this to work was such a pain in the ass maybe not

That's what you get for tampering with the time stream!

[Layabout]

Great Scott! CJ, you have to think 4th dimensionally!

[Pumaman]

This demonstrates precisely how time travel can be mis-used, and why the forums must be destroyed, after we straighten all of this out.

Now looking back to my first post (thread), I'm sorry I asked. 

I haven't seen that since the Forums were cut down a couple of years ago.

This explains why I saw myself in front of the computer this morning, posting some questions about RoomEdit.
