Just talk about it here or something

[Sergeant Dull]

Let's leave that KIPPERS closed. We can read it. *facepalm at our collective past selves*

[Naem]

Oh hey there past self let's cry on each other's shoulders now.

[Eco]

Complete counter-production of what I told my past self told me

[somebody probably]

Hey past self, I managed like half of those things. High five, right? ;D

[Sergeant Dull]

I'm doing better than a criteria that my past self told me to do vOv

[Shiver]

lol bye guys

[Oberstleutnant Insipid]

Well KIPPERS I BLARGHed up last year...

[Interrobang Pie]

Oh yeah it's that thing I forgot to submit to. Well I guess I can try to remember my past self right?

Then: some 15 year old guy who spends his time on the internet making games, getting involved with some Mega Man community and just being depressed everywhere else?

Now: some 17 year old guy who spends his time on the internet making music, getting involved with some BROGONG community and just fapping to miniature equines?

um

[Breaker]

Okay, I got the job...but I can't afford insurance to drive anyway, dammit self.

[Matt_TY]

I'm not sure my past self would have seen any of the next two years coming. The good or the bad.

You'd need to live an incredibly, meticulously planned life to have such foresight.

Or have some crazy seer powers or something. :v

But hey, makes the ups and downs of life more life like.

Hmm...didn't post anything in there. Hardly shocking, given that I left in 2009.

Seems I stumbled back onto here after a simple wondering about whether the collective intelligence that is the Sonic prototype scene had ever found anything more about Beta Windy Valley, nothing but simple curiosity, and then I ended up walking through a bunch of old websites I used to visit like...five years ago, and after a hazy tvtropes-like walk I wound up here.

I think I've gotten better. Stopped being the same whiny bitch I was when I first joined, or, hell, that I was the entire time I was there. Better English overall. Stronger friends. It's been a nice time, and looking back at everything I did and how I tore apart little people for their pathetic attempts at hoaxing, I think I'm sort of proud of it. Proud of all the little things I found out - the little things like transparency in Paint, that dark grey is more common than straight black, that there will always be people like Eco in any given community, that the people who say their artistic skills suck and are generally derisive about themselves are GENERALLY really good, and the ones who boast are pathetic. That sort of thing.

In a way I sort of miss the place. I miss how I used to get up on a Saturday morning and go "okay, today I'm going to do TWO hoaxes! LET'S GET CRACKING!" and then either spend most of the day playing new games to get ideas or making the hoax or watching rented movies with my dad (oh those were the days - before Blockbuster collapsed to rampant DVD piracy) or what-have-you. I miss spending boring time at school just processing a hoax idea I got. I miss getting on Sonic Vegemite on school computers to see my new hoaxes on the update - and those from Nite and the others. I miss competing with Ultimo for most hoaxes on the site even though he was never there (though he did give me four hoax ideas the last time I saw him...his birthday, on IRC...just so I could beat him). I miss Nite, man, he was AWESOME I was always awed by his amazing skill and I knew I could never make anything like him. I kinda miss Effy, it's weird, it's like I always wanted to talk to her again and then never did. I'm one ditzy bastard. I miss hoaxing, I miss seeing the new awesome stuff Effy/Dagger drew, I miss the weird early days on IRC which eventually got me into the life I have now...I miss a lot of things.

I remember coming into this site in early 2005 and reading through the ENTIRE VENDING MACHINE THREAD before first posting. I remember staying up till midnight to make that first hoax I put up on the site, a silly one that I thought would never hold up to the standards of the site and yet made it.

Things have changed a lot, man. We've all gone our separate ways now. I don't even talk to anyone from here anymore since I ditched MSN around a year ago to become unreachable by the people I knew from another forum, the one Anya was from. I came on here when I was 12, whiny about my country, probably would have been horrifyingly depressed if I had any actual thought about my future, and now I'm in the US and going to college at the end of the year, the only thing keeping me away from a job being the fact that I am not a US Resident yet, and the only thing keeping me away from a car being the fact that I don't actually know WHICH college yet.

Then again it looks like Eco's the same. It's like Fallout - War never changes.

Nostalgia's a powerful force. I started off this post about how I got to this page again and it ended up being a ramble about the golden days. How weird. Right now I see the old site design flashing through my head, and "Ultimo - 251 hoaxes". Feels good man.

EDIT: Though I seriously cannot see myself as "Blackbird" anymore. Even typing the name gives me chills.

So THAT's how you got so many.

My hotmail got hacked end of 2010, so since then I've not really bothered to get back onto MSN. I mostly use Skype and Facebook now.
