Noob Days...
fohfoh:
Lurked in box in the old days, but was a veteran of sorts for forums by the time I officially joined. (approx years after I lurked the box forums). I actually toyed around in an area known as "thewirdsdomain". Don't really remember how I got there. I think I followed a link from fansubs or something.
That's probably where I learned the most about an internet persona.
My true failings were at hongfire. Trying to quell arguments of PS3>XBOX360 and vice versa. Doesn't matter if you're trying to be objective. Idiots are idiots.
To quote psyren, "Never underestimate drunk idiots in large numbers" (Or psychiclord if you knew further back)
spamming agent to hell with kawaii speak with moni.
Gathering 60-70% of all posts between 3 posters during the forum shift and having a good 60% of all those posts wiped out by a mod by the name of indy-muadib. Being nicked as part of the axis of spam, and being noted by admin as being "flood posters". The post timer is actually not due to our actions, but by another idiot (Probably the same type of moron(s) that did the DDOS of the bkbt website in the past).
Summary:
1. Getting into arguments I could have easily avoided in hongfire forums
2. Small forum stuff. Nothing super noob. (Newb maybe)
3. Uber spam in box transition (post gil). Going on hiatus due to annoyance of post purge by mod.
I seriously didn't need to always use GIYF. I personally used Altavista for a long time prior to that and it was the first thing I'd usually do if I didn't know something because it was the fastest way to get an answer. (Remember the mp3 search function anyone?)

When I was a noob here i was very careful about trying not to do anything stupid, used my common sense, found the search bar and asked for advice when needed. And after awhile I got acclimated I found the community here to be quite the fun and enjoyable one. The only place I ever really got into some silly fights is on the politics boards when I first entered. Outside of that I have really enjoyedthe community here. Unfortunately now I have been promoted a good bit and I am now in a relationship I don't have the time I once had to post daily here. But it is nice to see after 2 and 1/2 years later, the same people are around.

I remember that. I laughed so hard when I saw what you were doing. ;D

"These are community forums, not your own personal instant messenger".
Yeah, even after all this time... Fuck you Indy.
We used to fill up 20-30 pages of the general chit chat thread per day. Posts nearly every 2-5 seconds.
Ah good times... :)

Probably. Probably still am, considering how fast the lingo on the internet changes and I cannot keep up with it. Sometimes I feel like an old man who just came on to the internet and is bewildered by the strange expressions used by the "pros".
