Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
Yourself on the internet, eight or so years ago.

THIS IS HOW WE BLEED
man 8 years ago, I was like... 13. I remember being on Neopets (since I was in grade 4 or so, so like... 11 years ago?) and MSN groups and ff.net writing horrible Yu-Gi-Oh mary-sue fic it was all kinds of glorious in a naive, silly way.
I really only have records of about 5~ years back on dA though, since I purged my old ff.net account several years back and I think MSN groups bit the big one. Also, while my very first one isn't around anymore, I still have a pretty old Neopets account I still play on.

I was a huge twerp, at the same forum as Zora and Poly. My roleplays were stupid but I had fun with them.
Oh yeah, and I had a Neopets account way back when, I deleted that one. I have a few now that I still play on for nostalgia purposes
Oh yeah and the stuff I wrote....I wonder if that stuff still exists...

Uh, I didn't do it.
Oh geez, I was absolutely terrible when I first joined. Charizard2K/ Fire Master, the fourteen year old me. TCoD was my first forum, and I had no idea how to work a forum. I would ask stupid questions asking what a sig was, or how to know when someone responded to my post.
If past me were to join now I'd probably troll the hell out of myself.
Over every summer break I was on TCoD all day, every day, sitting on my hands and waiting for people to respond to my posts. I used to get so excited when someone responded to a topic/thread I posted. I wrote terrible stories, and then got pissed when people told me just how terrible they were. It was my first real experience with the internet, since I'd hardly went online before that. Hell, I didn't know what Google was until I was 13ish.
Gmew I was probably worse than you. Sad part is no one remembers me, which is funny cause I posted quite a bit... but mostly in Insanity, which back then gave us no post count.
But to go back... would be sooo cool. It was some of the best days, those summer breaks where it was just me hanging out at TCoD... sometimes I miss those IF forums.
Crap, now I am gonna go back again and just stalk my old posts.

hugs are always appreciated ;_;
what's worse though is when timmy and i were dating the first time, he somehow ended up in our conversation (i honest to god forget how) and linked us to sites full of animal shaped dildos
and he also said we should take lots of pictures of us doing things.
oh i must share this too because it's funny if you don't think about it for too long
one time he said to me "well we'll have at least three kids to start with, maybe adopt some, and then when they've grown up we'll have some more :D"
at the time he was 16 and i was 13
CATHOLICS, MAN
Dannichu
Tragically unbeyachted.
Catholicism jokes don't work in a Scottish accent D: In fact, just talking about Catholicism in anything other than an Irish accent feels wrong.
I guess because everybody was the same age as me (or younger), people were always so nice about the wackiness/lolrandomness I came out with. I cringe when I think about ye olde fanfics, but every so often I'll get a PM on Deviantart or something from somebody who remembers them :p

Eight years ago, I was like...6? I don't really remember ever doing anything on the internet at that point.
I think the first site I ever joined was ROBLOX, when I was 9 or 10. I was a complete and total idiot back then, and I still cringe when I look back at some of my old posts. That site was my first introduction to Roleplaying, except it was the really crappy kind that's not even written in paragraph format and everyone has 582651789265 characters. And, since that was the first time I'd ever Roleplaying, I thought that was just how roleplaying worked everywhere until someone posted a thread about how crappy the RPers on that site were.
A year or two later, I started playing Spore. I made quite a few friends amongst the players who, like me, spent more time making random creatures/buildings/vehicles/etc. than actually playing the game. I think I had matured a little bit by then, since most of my memories of Spore are actually good memories. And I believe I started writing and uploading a "fanfic" (in quotations because I think it was mostly of my own creation) for that site, which to this day is the only fic I've ever shared publicly (aside from those crappy journal things on GTS+ that were never intended to be anything more than silly things I wrote when I was bored). It wasn't anywhere near the best thing ever, but I still have the first two chapters of it (which is all I ever got down to writing) saved on my computer and it at least doesn't make me want to gauge my eyes out when I read it.
Um yeah, that's all of my internet history that I care to ramble about right now.

I don't want to remember how much of a noob I was, mainly because I'm extremely antisocial unless I'm online. (The most social thing I do is go to school). When I'm online, I'm a very happy and social person.
Ironically, I tend to be a very deep person IRL, but I tend to be very blunt when I'm at an online conversation. Is anyone else like this, BTW?
Also, I remember how GOD AWFUL my stories/fan fictions were. I would start with an idea, then I would read other fanfictions for more ideas, then I'd be like "Oh, what a cool fan fiction!" copy it, and then I'd find another, and another, and another.
