tempest, aint you been here for 11 years now?
i just passed 6. joined the forum to distract myself from the crippling depression that was encompassing my dark lifw at the time, but the community fascinated me and i stuck around
and there was some genuinely funny shit on the old fora. i personally was a big fan of chrisso's hijinks

truth be told, i initially joined to participate in the 2011 comic tournament but chickened out of entering
i was already lurking around the time kman joined and was surprised how well he fit in
i was scared to actively participate because you all seemed like a bunch of giant retards who only accept those of like mind but now that i've been here for a few months i know that i was absolutely right

I honestly don't think I've changed very much since I joined this shit
in '06 I was an arrogant loser reading anarcho-syndicalist literature and lecturing people about things I didn't fully understand, also I drank a lot
now I shifted to classic socialism and my hair is bigger

also the forums changed for the better. tbh the forums on '06 were a shitshow with a couple gems here and there. most threads were boring or annoying. people fought a lot. essentially this that we have now, is the same quality of the good threads we had then, but because we no longer have the bullshit spam things feel much slower

also the reason I stuck around was that for the longest time some of you were about as close to me as my other IRL friends
yeah I hit some very low points in my life

this really is the best these forums have been since i've joined, particularly post quality
not being on an internet-famous site has weeded out the attention whores, even kyle doesnt drop by anymore. i genuinely like every active member here, most of us are on a first name basis. we bust each others balls, but flaming has virtually become non-existent... one of the only downsides, too, because the nuanced jokes from making fun of some fly-by moron were pretty funny
there's members I wish were here with us now, particularly slothman and smelly. thank god we still have risbolla, and @alienator should post more
therrs my gay opinion that noone asked for, thanks for reading and keep on truckin
yeah i regret reading that
