i know i do holy crap. I'm sure there are a bunch of others who were....less than mature....when they first joined the forums. I guess this would be a great place for reminiscing on those bad times. I guess I'll start:

example: I USED TO TYPE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I WAS DE FREAK AND DE GRANDE FREAK WAS A FUKIN REBEL!!!

I used to act like that. Shocking I know. Share below:

I was a complete noob at all this stuff when I came here. Now look where I am 3 years later.

Probably.

This isn't even my first profile.

My orignal(s) were banned because I was a ranging high school asshat.

I always regret the I that I am...

Oh, you mean Newbie Stuff ?

Not really, my first Post on here was an Upload, and the Lossless VGM Crew has been pretty awesome all around.

Absolutely.

I joined back up in 2003. Back then it was my first time properly using the internet (the Dreamcast doesn't count) and certainly my first time ever on a forum. I jumped right in spouting all kinds of nonsense and quickly got shut down by a good few of the regulars. I guess I just wanted to hang out with like minded people, you know, without having to go outside. I stuck with it though and really enjoyed my time here, and though I stopped coming to the forum in around 2009, I often pop my head in to see who's still here from the old day. Not may I guess, though that could be because I knew them from their old usernames. But yeah, I'm pretty embarrassed about the "me" who spent hours on the oul' Shrine.

Hah, I recently wrote an article for a friend's entertainment blog (unobtainium13.com/2015/05/11/on-the-old-internet-i-was-destined-for-greatness/) about how comically chaotic web forums were before moderators were a thing. 12 year olds on cruise control definitely ruled the day.

After a while you stop regretting it and just find it amusing. I was an adult when I registered here so I don't have anything too cringe-worthy to look back on.

Ive posted a few times intoxicated but then again the quality of my posts is so low that people dont notice the difference between sober and drunk, which is bad and good

Back then... this was the first forum I joined and was rather apprehensive about it. Main thing I regret, is how the forum has changed over the years to it's current incarnation, as well as the departure of a lot of members I knew 'back in the day'.

nope.

I'm sure ROKUSHO does. Everyone calls him :cat: because they know it bothers him. Now he pretends it doesn't in the vain hope it will stop people from doing it, but he probably knows in his shriveled, charcoal-colored husk of a heart that it will never truly work. If only he'd presented that facade in the beginning maybe it never would have caught on.

He sits there in his room at night, staring at images of big-eyed video game girls in doujins getting impregnated by alien insect monsters, and he knows somewhere in the back of his mind that he'll be :cat: for all time and ever, and there's nothing he can do about it. In a desperate attempt to maintain his boner so he can splurge the screen and imagine he's implanting millions of eggs in a fifteen year old anime girl, he goes on ffshrine and writes a post about how he behaved in the company of the 5,384th woman he has had sexual intercourse with, and his chest briefly swells with manly pride at how everyone on the forum must idolize him after this stunning display of virility and machismo.

But it never lasts. He wakes up the next day, and he knows he's :cat:.

Wow, I just looked at my join date and saw I've got ten and a half years on here...my how the time flies. Quite a different crew back then.

As for the question, do I regret the me I was back then? Well, I can definitely say I regret some of the things I didn't do. Nothing on the Shrine, though.

That's actually my best advice coming from someone with some life experience: if you're ever debating about whether or not to do something risky or potentially embarrassing/humiliating, as long as it's not going to hurt anyone, do it. If you don't, you'll live the rest of your life wishing you had. Trust me on that.

The "good old days" really do seem dead and gone. the forums really have seemed to die down. Tragic that. I hope the twelve year olds had nothing to do with it.

I don't even remember the me I was when I joined. But I imagine it wasn't fun.

I sometimes regret it......

If you're growing older the right way, you're always going to look back even just a few years and reflect on what a dumbass you were.

4 1/2 years ago, I was pretty immature. Since then, my life has changed quite significantly. But I'm still immature at times. As Lockdown said about himself, I too was a complete newbie when I stumbled across this treasure trove. I was literally about to have a mental breakdown as I discovered more and more of my favourite films had FYC's and other unofficial releases that I couldn't get hold of. Then I found the Shrine. Need I say any more?

I have no reasons to regret anything about who I was when I first joined the forums (20 years old back then), because for me not much has really changed throughout the years: I have no interest in joining most discussion-topics, nor sharing my opinion with others. I approached this place to download music, occasionally I get to share something, too, but that's not a requirement, luckily. I'm still the same person, pretty much.

Though I kinda like this reply because it goes against him, I really don't get the point.

Mainly for me to amuse myself at :cat:'s expense.

Back in 2012 I created this account solely to download music. I regretted not contributing or taking the time to get to know people. I've met a bunch of you who are absolutely fantastic ~ I was definitely a different person three years ago. VERY different to who I am now. I am a better person now for sure.

.

Hmm... Nope, not so much. I can't really remember. At the start I was requesting quite a bit. These days though I find I don't need to.

I Regretted Who I Was Here Up Till The Past Few Days, But Since Personal Situations Have Improved I Feel I Have Here As Well.
It Also Helps Since Blocking Out Some People Here Who Really Make Me Angry/Act Out. So Better.

I Also Try to Be More Helpful And Active In The Fourums More So In Discussions And Upload What I Can When I Can, Away From the Mega Disney Threads..

So Hopefully I Am A Better Person Here Now...

I don't remember much of when I started here, but considering I was a leecher and only got in here for PMs and comments for PMs, I guess I half-kindaish regret it.

You already answered this topic back in July!!!

I first joined here under a different username. I wonder if any of you remember what it was ;)

Fuck yeah.. I was begging for reup's right and left. Begging for posts at Peeje and similar sites..

Nah! That's not me anymore.. I just seek and find now..and in some/most cases..share back. :)

Redacted

Hell yeah.

I regret my profile name. For some reason (I don't remember why) I was so fed with trying to join with them sending you the emails and such and-
"uut' was something random I typed up and I am not proud of it. My first and preferred name was "Clonemaster15" but oh well.

You can request to change it.

Really? Great! How would I go about doing that?

like the first time i joined, let me remember...a yeah, generally the atmosphere then are more friendly! i guess i kinda miss some of the good folks i constantly chat with from before. i kinda regret/ but not really changing my names a couple of times now. kinda regret posting the crappy covers i made before not that i'm a pro now. :) and no not really much to regret but just missing the titles and topics i missed for being away for a year i think. and that's all. basically its all still the same.

Trust me, when you grow up you will look back on "Clonemaster15" and see "uut" as the glory days.

is it a joke or something? but if if you haven't come across this then, well it is possible here's the thread for that (Thread 76832)


sorry to cut in. :)

Yeah, well I was like 11 years old back then when I joined. I still love Clonemaster15 as a name and always will. It combines the Master Chief and the Clone Trooper into one name.
Anyway thanks for the link Rad Max, I will finally change my profile name. And no need to apologize, you are just trying to help :)

And with the number 15 at the end, no less.

Hi everybody,
I'm new here and I hope I won't regret this moment ;)

never

I am a bit ashamed of past self. I joined back in my Junior year of high school. I was a total drama-king, that cared far to much of opinions of people on the internet and real life. My biggest shame, was when myself and several RL friends joined the FF shrine and were starting a following. We were gonna break away and call ourselves the Chocobo Knights. The Idea started with me, but my good friend was elected by the entirety of the following to be the leader. I then with my best friend, broke off from them to be a "Dragoon" lol. It was drama in it's purest form, and very juvenile. Needless to say, it wasn't one of my finest moments and those RL friends and I have gone our seperat ways since High School. Big suprise eh, ;p Heck, my Sig is a relic from my high school FFShrine drama.

I do most dearly regret my indiscretion, and lack of attention to the needs, wants and feelings of my fellow man. I should never have assumed that just because someone doesn't want to meet at the local five and dime and blow me behind the counter means that their prudish ways have gotten the better of them. That, and my insensitive derogation of 'Last Fantasy 5', as it has since served a marvelous use as target practice for my Stechkin APS. Poor thing's barrel was beginning to rust.

It also pains me to confront the denials I pose of my own faults, tepid as my temper has risen, when faced with adversity. I am appalled, ashamed, and beleaguered to lay the cards on the table and state plainly.. I have a hard time playing Mario Kart 8. Call me a late bloomer, but I had it in my mind that beginning such a lucrative series at such a modern phase of its run might bode well for me. Alas, I was wrong. Upon investigating the course 'Gay Pride Road', I was met with a challenge unmatched by the infamous 8-hour landing patrol of my youth. It got me thinking.. no wonder they couldn't marry for so long. But then it hit me.. it's clearly a euphemism for the strength of homosexual endurance. And with my wits put to the test and humility overtaking my soul, I sat back, provided a defeated clap, and put out the fireplace with the realisation that Caitie Jenner really is a symbol of courage.

Though I do humbly report that I have since evolved, as a man, as a citizen, and as a contributor to global warming.

Hmm. Was lucrative really the word you were looking for there?

He probably means prolific.

I regret the me who I am now. Is that bad?

Well I was an absolute atrocity when I first joined; I was around 8-10, now i'm 24! I've had multiple usernames. I do remember the forums used to be way more poppin back then tho.

I am horrified.
