Does anyone else get embaressed at their posts from years ago?

[Toast999]

I know I do. I recently started to regularly lurk these forums again, and out of boredom I looked at my post from a long time ago. Big mistake. I kind of wish I could delete them all, but whatever.

Does anyone else feel this way?

 

[boomee]

Yea me too. I look back at my posts from a year+ ago and think "What the hell are you thinking? Are you dumb?" Now because of this thread some people might look through them.

Irony.

Over the 7 years I've been here, I am sure I've made some less than thought out posts. And that is before consider how much younger I was back then - pretty sure my first post had to do with an AE86 and Initial D (oh my)

 

[mustangGT90210]

I look back at some of my first posts and just think "Wow I was clueless! And had no idea how hard money was to make to modify things..."

 

[Tornado]

Yes. Anything by me old enough to have Garamond font automatically makes me cringe a little, regardless of what the post has in it.

I was 13 when I first joined GTP. I am now 23. I think you can imagine the answer…

 

[Legendary]

Absolutely, I was such a loser back then. I was young, stupid and ignorant, I hate reading those old posts :/.

 

[Crumpet]

I'm 13, all my posts are stupid.. I often get in trouble some way or another, for bringing up stupid off-topic things like sausages.. And things of the sort.

I'll be able to be embarrassed when I look back in 10 years..

 

[W3H5]

I think I made many stupid posts in my first few months here before I left the GT5 section.

I was a bit embarrassed after TB pointed out that I'd made one or more posts just containing :whimsicalnon-smiliesmilies:.

Yup, still embarrassing myself to this day.

Kind of crazy how much can change in that time. Doubt you thought you were going to be a serious beer person when you signed up here

Of course I never saw myself spending money on camera gear over car stuff, let alone the amount I have.

14 and 23 here...

If I posted now, like I did back then, I would probably have been banned for my lack of grammer and spelling. Ever since the GT4 drifter craze, the mods have really tightened up in that aspect

 

[Prince.M5]

I've made a couple back when I was pretty much new to GTP. But unfortunately, I have done it again recently

I know that sometimes over the years, I have said things that weren't entirely correct, but were at least based on the most accurate information I had available to me at the time. I'm not embarrassed for being wrong once in a while.

But in terms of behaviour? I started on the internet in College. Back in High School, we hardly had a telephone service, let alone internet, so I don't have any embarrassing teen moments online.

Just don't look at my lovesick schoolboy poetry at annabegins.com...

 

[Skython]

Somethings I said were stupid even though I only joined in January. The thing that makes me feel bad is feeling like a part of the GT5 wave. Even though I didn't really have GT5 until about 2 months after I joined.

 

[zedextreme8177]

I get embarrassed when I look at some of my posts from barely 1 year ago

I try to avoid getting into trouble nowadays, though I still occasionally do idiotic things at times

 

[axletramp]

I don't think I've ever been embarrassed about anything I've posted. I've never posted anything malicious and if someone misunderstood me then it was stupidity on their part.

'Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention...'

 

[Legendary]

I forgot to mention I joined when I was 12 too, made everything 1000 times worse, 16 now .

 

[Alex.]

Yes is the answer for me, and undoubtedly I will look back 5 years from now at posts I make today and think the very same.

 

[homeforsummer]

Nope. I've always been awesome.

That, and I joined here when I was 22/23 anyway and have a particularly low tolerance of idiocy, including my own. I generally wish to be perceived on the net as I'd wish to be perceived in real life, which means I've only ever posted if I felt it would add something to a discussion.

 

[Omnis]

This.

 

[AOS-]

Wow... 10 years!? That's nuts, Sage.

 

[Ross]

Wow I'm 13 at the moment, and I don't think I've made any immature posts. I guess that means I am quite mature. I joined when I was 12 by the way.

 

[Omnis]

Uh, no you didn't. You shouldn't say that.

 

[Lucas]

I would definitely want to go back in time. I had another account which I asked to be banned, which I used to post my less-than-educated opinion. Also, my english at the time was very bad. I think my english is good every day since past.

 

[MadMike'86]

I suppose I have written some stupid things in my time....probably during my time running my "market", I loved getting all the cars easily, but in the end it took the challenge away, so I wiped my save game and started again

Oh, and the irony in the Thread title is awesome! embarrassed

 

[dxm8975]

I suppose I've also made heaps of stupid posts irrelevant to the point of a discussion, I hate reading my old posts I made a dozens of months back and I still am embarrassed to read how others would react to my sayings.

 

[Minty]

Yes. But they were all in the first account I made here, IVKillerVI. Granted that account is only a little over a year old, and I only used it in the GT5 section, but still.

I was so embarrassed by the name I actually had it banned and started over with this glorious name. Haven't been on this one long enough to have any 'long-ago' embarrassing posts. But I do have some recent ones

I am embarrassed by every post with that account because the name is bad and it makes me feel bad.

Are you kidding me? You've made at least 100 ridiculous posts.

I'm just kidding.

Personally, I don't have any posts that I'm embarrassed about. I only joined a few years ago, and I'm 24. I did post at IGN between the age of 13 and 18 though and probably made a few embarrassing posts. As for GTplanet, I can't think of any. Sometimes I come across as being quite harsh on the forums and it's not really my intention. My friends all know that I'm a sarcastic *******, but that doesn't always translate very well on the internet.

 

[Pyle_PMG]

I joined last year (October 2nd 2010), 6 or 7 days after I turned 15.

Am I ashamed/embarrassed of my posts?
No.

Have I made posts at 4am that made little to no sense?
Yes, but I usually edited them later so they were understandable.

EDIT: I have made many useless posts, but even more useful ones. But as always; It's the bad ones that get ya noticed
