Hi all.
Most of you around here do not know me, perhaps some of the ancient members may remember a post I made, and that is because I haven't been around for a long time - and I mean a LONG time.
A friend the other day reminded me of a time when I used to show him all the stuff about Wii (I was completely obsessed) and many of the posts on Wiichat. I loosely remember finding this forum by mindlessly Googling things about Wii, I needed as much information as I could get. Once I found this place, I settled in very quickly, becoming familiar with the forum's regulars and trying my best to contribute to the community.
Now I have come back, and looked at my past posts, and realised how much of a fool I was back then. Then I spotted my Joining Date: July 2006. This struck me deeply. I was ten years old when I joined this forum. This scares me, as some of the content on here I was viewing was quite NSFW, and I am worried I may have damaged my young brain through this comment
Regardless, this visit provoked me to view my old posts, and threads started. I noticed that two of the threads that I started have continued to have posts made this year (Art Thread and How Famous is the Above User? if you were interested...) and that I had horrendous spelling and grammar in those days. Since then I have grown up, and have changed severely as a person.
The most shocking thing is that... I have sold my Wii, and upgraded to a PS3. I decided I had had enough of the Wii's childish games and the droughts between first party releases.
Disregarding the above paragraph, I would like to say thanks, for keeping these posts set in stone, as a 'Time Capsule' of sorts to my former self.
So
Thanks You.
