I was new on the internet, fresh out of the oven. The forums kinda kicked me into shape. I was really weird and random at first, and I got temp banned a couple times for minor offenses like rickroll links and stupid stuff like that.
I was really mesmerized by all the forum "Big Bros" and cool dudes. I wanted to be a part of it all really so I was really active early on. It's still one of the only online communities I'm a part of.
