It's like a religious experience.

This is probably the most amazing thing I've read all day-- made even weirder by the fact that I know who all of these people are, because I've been stalking that board (in its various incarnations) since 2003/2004 (despite the fact that it was an 18+ forum and I was underage almost all of that time; if I had actually posted instead of just lurking I'm sure my true age would have been incredibly obvious, because when I was thirteen I acted like I was about nine).

Even though this was posted like two months ago, between this, that, and the other thing I still feel like today is The Day Of Internet Wank. Gah. Iiiiiit's probably too much to hope that DDD won't end up on RP!S yet again, isn't it.

I really wish things could've gone differently. ): Here's to battening the hatches.

I was actually really surprised/happy that we didn't have many long-lasting issues with the incident a few months ago; maybe this time it'll be the same?

OH MY GOD I WAS ON THAT BOARD

I was a member, and then it became 18+ and I got banned sob ):

[banerry.livejournal.com]

WAIT SERIOUSLY?

I lurked until it went private and became 18+; then I created an account and flew under the radar until I actually turned 18. Good times.

[dreamoflight.livejournal.com]

YES. IIRC I HAD A TOHRU ICON.

Heee xD I meant to do that, but just... was paranoid about people recognizing me lmfao.

[banerry.livejournal.com]

I don't think I even *had* an icon at first; I was that much of a lurker. Then eventually I uploaded an Azula icon because I'm really, really predictable.

Haha, I think pretty much half the people on 18+ things are under 18, I know I am! Hohoho....

[banerry.livejournal.com]

That was the only 18+ thing I ever joined, I think. /tame

Actually... I would have to say your thirteen-year-old self was a lot more coherent than most others I've seen throughout my adventures on the internet.  At least you formed complete sentences.

This is more typical thirteen-year-old-speak, I've found: "OMG HI LOLOL I BAUGHT A QT DRESS 2DAY ROFL C U L8R!!!!!1!!!11"

... I do remember having the tendency to use the word "friendz", though.

I try not to think about those days.

[fire-lord-azula.livejournal.com]

At least that looks like an actual word.

Still, I don't blame you for not wanting to think about it.

I never typed like that, but I did start out IN ALL CAPS.  So I was CONSTANTLY SHOUTING OVER THE INTERNET -- and, no, my eleven-year-old self could never rationalize it.

[banerry.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, I still capslock at people all the time. XD I had an MSN conversation with somebody today that was almost entirely in capslock on both ends.

... Though really, I'm glad I didn't have the internet when I was eleven. I probably would have loved it, but I was the most annoying, hyperactive kid *ever*.

[fire-lord-azula.livejournal.com]

Oh, capslock is fun, there's no doubt about it.  I occasionally lapse into it.  It's just that I did it all the time and I'm still trying to figure out why.  One of the first people I ever talked to did it, too, which made the habit hard to break.  But, shortly thereafter, I discovered RPing, and the caps came to a swift end.  Come to think of it, I did see you on MSN yesterday!

Awww, I bet you were more cute than annoying.  I never would've known about the hyperactivity if you hadn't told me.

[banerry.livejournal.com]

... That's actually pretty funny. XD (And yeah, I rarely get on MSN, but I was on for... about half an hour yesterday? That's a LIFETIME for me these days.)

Oh God I wasn't cute. I was a hellraiser. 8)

[fire-lord-azula.livejournal.com]

Haha, well, I'm glad you thought it was funny!  ( I wonder what the sudden inspiration was for signing on for half-an-hour!  It'd be nice to see more of you.  ;D )

Oh?  Again, never would've known that.  You're so mild-mannered and uncontroversial!

[banerry.livejournal.com]

Wellll, but the time I was that age I had actually mellowed out. But in early elementary school I was awful. I wasn't a bully or anything, but I would cause trouble for the teachers all the time. XD

[fire-lord-azula.livejournal.com]

I'm amused by that, considering how you are nowadays.  ;D

[century-fox.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA it's all good. I remember one time, my dad was trying to install some programs on my computer, and he called the disk "Programs." Being the extremely awesome ten or eleven year old that I was, I decided it would be a good idea to retitle it "Programz." With a Z. Because, obviously, Z's make everything look cooler. -_-

Also, here is an actual excerpt from something I wrote when I was twelve: "ugh...school 2morrow. this vaca wasnt exactly da best 1 dat ive ever had."

So, yeah. Basically...don't feel bad, because I was much worse. >.<

[banerry.livejournal.com]

... I can definitely see my eleven-year-old self doing something like that. Never mind the fact that when I was really little (like eight or so), my sister and I got in a huge amount of trouble for going into my dad's computer documents and changing stuff around. DX
