When you were new to message boards, what kinds of dumb things did you do?
I never really talked like a n00b. You know, the kind of people who type everything in all lowercase and type "u" instead of "you" and such. But I would always ask noobish questions like "What is AIM?" and "What is 1337?" Seriously, I thought AIM was Acmlm's-specific. Like "Acmlm In Motion" or something. Plus I always confused it with IRC. And I thought 1337 was a year or something. (It actually was the beginning of the Hundred Years' War.) The other thing I would do was obsess over my post count. Like "How do you people have thousands of posts when I only have 57?" I actually thought that once you got enough posts, your post count would go up by more than one for each post! And of course "100th post", "111th post", "200th post", "467th post" etc. At least I had the common decency to not make them threads. Oh, and I actually tried to submit a hack to Acmlm's site, just after he mostly stopped updating it (this was early 2002). |

I don't think I did anything particularly n00bish, but when I was a newbie elsewhere I'd curse n' attack people n' ban people and nasty stuff. Nasty, mean angry stuff.
Wait, that's elitist, not n00bish. Ah well. |

Yep, I've made crappy, buggy hacks. Then I got so caught up in posting that I stopped romhacking.
Another thing I did a few times was, when my thread didn't get any replies, I'd bump it with "Anyone?" or "PAY ATTENTION!!!!!" or something. I didn't do that at Acmlm's because just about any thread got a reply really fast, but I'd do that on smaller boards. |

Posted by Xkeeper Link, or it never happened. And as for me, I used to type "you" "u", and use horrible way of spelling overall. ____________________ |

In my n00b days, I used to use improper grammar, and didn't capitalize. I also flamed people, and acted like a total bitch in general.  |

Hoo boy...
My first mistake ever was joining Usenet(or whatever it was at the time if it were different; WebTV made no distinction of such). Found a few cool communities, but I made the mistake of asking a community how to burn CDs. They detailed shoving it into a VCR and explaining that the edges should be crispy and if they aren't, take a lighter to it around the edges. Luckily I didn't fall for it, but I was introduced to sarcasm the hard way.
I've had a myriad of other major mistakes(usually teaching me again and again to NEVER ask a question on the internet), but nothing fatal outside of bad writing and expecting people to answer nicely. ____________________  |

In my n00b days... I was an eff-ing retard. seriously, check out my old posts (check out the old backup if you dont believe me here)
btw, some people are still logged in there! (ChibiTaryn, Fyxe, Gamefreak19, KT15X, Videogamerpat) might want to log out now. It's only been like 4 years lol. anyway, I used to post stupid crap in one, long ass paragraph. I went to the backup to relive it all, and wow, it made me feel so stupid just reading my own posts. |

Posted by spiroth10I honestly hope you realize that those people were logged in when the board's archive was taken, and most about three of those people haven't been on the board in years... ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Well, I also didn't understand "LMAO", "1337", "XD" and the like back when I first joined.
I didn't bump old threads at all, surprisingly... |
