Well. back in the days of ol' when... So yeah.
Woo, I love story time.
Since we are sharing...May I share my story of my past?
Man, when I think about it, I don't actually know why I signed up to this site. I remember, I used to get re-directed here a lot because of flash games searching on Google and such, but I don't remember much of why I signed up. I probably did so because I was bored one afternoon. Anyway, so i was a proper noob. I didn't know anything about the site. I had a look around the forum and posted a bit, got to know my way around. I found out how to mark reviews as abusive...Yet didn't know how. I mean, I would usually press the + or - buttons instead of the X then I would be annoyed when my whistle didn't go up or down.
I then found out how to B/P, realising that it was really easy, I gained the ranks quite quickly. Before long I spread my wings to other parts of the BBS like Wi/Ht? and C&C. The I realised that if I wanted to make my way around this site...I couldn't be a dick, nor could I act like a noob. So I improved. I improved a lot! My spelling got better, my punctuation got significantly better and I realised that this place wasn't that bad.
I then joined the NGPD, had an awesome time here, had a go at a couple of rosters here and there and I really enjoyed it. Then I became part of the EGB and I started to stick up for myself. I realised that I could argue the toss to anyone and then I realised that this was the internet and I didn't care on what anyone thought of me. I started to expand on my relationships with users, met some new friends on which I trust. I also learned that other users trust me too, and some of which, look up to me. This gave me a new strength and well...This is where I am today.
And do you know what? I'm glad I signed up on that boring afternoon. :)
now on a serious note, how is everyone voting this clock day/ with all the talk of b/p-ing it sounds like you've made a concession and have decided to pass everything, no questions asked. Or am I simply mistaken, personally I plan to lower my standards of what a pass constitutes and continue blamming the "made in <5 hours especially for today"
Well I personally am going to bend the rules a little bit. I'm not going to 5 everything that comes my way, but I am going to give things a higher vote than they should do. Yet I am going to look out of those "I made this is <5 hours" submissions as no doubt they will get deleted afterwards.
I mean, you have to have a lose chain on days like this, I mean come on...You have to enjoy yourself while the day lasts right?
