I can't believe how much one can grow in just 4 years. I look back my posts and realize how stupid some of the things I said and arguments were.
 
I've been here as long as some members here have been alive. I look back at some of my earlier post and always end up asking myself, Why haven't I been locked up for being mentally unfit for society with all the stupid crap I posted..heh.
 
Well, I never have been a genius, so of course reviewing my old posts is an awkward experience. 2011 was like 12 months of badly phrased sentences, complaining, and needy/pointless posts. Now I'm not as stupid, or I'm just better at disguising it.
 
I was perfect 10 years ago and I've only gotten better with age.
 
The quality in general has improved, in my opinion, but staying out of disussions, learning from others on the forums and have the ability to make quality posts from the beggining is something I want to happen, but I still only limit myself to post my opinion and respond whoever answers my posts and not go into a discussion
 
Yes, specifically the horrendous fanfiction I used to write.
Don't read it, please. It is quite bad.

Thank my sanity I gave it up...
 
Worst poster here!

I have been called many things due to my stupid posts. I hope I got better at it?

Please report these members, as we have a very strict "No Under 13" rule.

Thank you.

I'm often embarrassed by posts I made just this morning. Which is why I fuss and fiddle with every single one before (and often after) posting it.

For a writer, the journey to self-improvement is littered with self-doubt, shame, constipation and ruined eyesight.
 
Looking back on some of the posts/profile posts I've made over the time I've been here, yes, I am quite embarrassed of my general attitude and posting 'style'. I feel that I am improving in the way I carry myself on here and my general attitude towards just about everything. Honestly, I will probably look back on posts I'm making today and be just as embarrassed. But hey, you have to learn from your actions and improve from there.

Theres this one certain fiction I used to really like. Then I grew out of its repetitive cliche fest of shoddy plain Mary Sues, events, unexplained things and whatnot. How oh how was I like that?

To follow, my GT5 fiction, Legacy Of The Dark Horse, was this (in the sig) Till I realized how I can expand the universe I made with the knowledge of what makes a story interesting.
 
Yeah, I'm not to sure what happened to me in the course of just a year, but I have a hard time trying to understand my own words...

Way to complex for me..
 
Yes, very much so. I lied, I was rude, obnoxious, couldn't spell, my grammar was atrocious, and most of the time I hadn't the foggiest idea what I was on about. Sadly it was a pretty good reflection of myself at the time too. Once I grew up and matured and actually got medical help for severe depression everything became much less cringe-worthy to my older self. I wish I could go back and start all over again, but since I can't there's no use dwelling on the past and how much of a d-bag I was.
 
Nope, I don't remember my earlier posts either. The only thing that I do remember are the emotions (embarrassment, shame) after writing stupid, silly and aggressive posts and that is worse than rememberring my earlier posts.

:D
 
I started out OK but spent a good year or two in full alcoholic mode here on GTP and got a few mod fingers waved in my direction for not being very proper around the Ramblings thread but over all I think I've been a rule abiding member.

I think I browse a lot more than I post these days, if you can believe it, because I'm not involved in any racing in the GT sections and I don't go into the OCE section like I may have in the past so perhaps I've gone down the quality over quantity route.


Or not. I don't really know.

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

Is it ironic that I'm embarassed at my past post about past posts?

Looking back, I was a pretty big 🤬 quite often. I appreciate the community for tolerating me here. I owe you all a round on me. Whenever we all meet.
 
Me being a better (I think) poster is due to meds! :P

I do remember my first post about pitstops at the 'ring in GT4 though.
