how have you changed over time? I'm sure everyone who was actively posting back then remembers the annoying demon child that was brikguy age 12- (its a shame all the old threads of overwatch baiting my younger self into arguments and constanly going at it with other forums members-mainly scythe if I'm remembering correctly, it was really funny to laugh at my younger self) but anyways what are YOUR stories of your early forum days?

*I should also clarify "going at it" means arguing, just saying that before tzan tries to make it a sexual thing

I think 99% of people like old brikguy. You were funny in the way that most kids were funny, and I don't think you ever showed a bad side.

I was actually a lot worse than you. I would make a lot of childish jokes, say good constantly and repeat myself over and over again.

Also, I think everyone knew about the nudes you sent to shadowscythe, so no jokes are necessary.

I said a lot of dumb things that somehow made other people look dumb.

I was totally in awe of things like the Epic Fleet Engagement in the Caid Sector or how cool the colour sheme of the Time Traveling Super Jews looked. I wondered wether i really wanted to buy some yellow bricks. Then i started making armies and moar stuff, including a mech of course and doing battles.
So basically same as now, only many of the old members are MIA and my English has deteriorated

I got booty bothered about too many things and I regret it.
I thing others may have found me annoying and I certainly feel that way.

I was a major fan of the assyrians and wanted an army of them. I thought brikwars was like warhammer 40k where there
is already a set bunch of factions and that I couldn't make my own. then I joined the forum and made my own.

To be honest, I'm glad I joined here, because people like shadowscythe and silverdream naming me as an example of how they didn't want
people to act in their posts made me learn a lot about how to be in public as well as the forum. So thanks guys!

I try and forget what I was like in the early years. I was a 14 year old who acted like an 11 year old. I thought being a dimmy was 'edgy' so went out of my way to be boneriffic and try to stir shit, and I wasn't even very good at it. Below pretty much sums it up:

Eventually I realised that being an unlikable shitstain would only make me an unlikable shitstain, so I kind of retreated to the LDD forum to just do that for the last 4 years. Barring a few outbursts in chat I became mostly not awful. Thankfully the dimmies subforum was closed and GD was wiped, so most of the evidence is gone.

huh yea it was literally the same for me: I thought you could'nt make your own army and had to pick a pre-existing one anways I was looking throught the wiki in my misguided effort to choose an army and I saw a picture of a giant mech flipping me off

it was love at first sight.

If you look back, I was super polite and kind at the very beginning of my forum days. That has just degraded over time.
