Herrow thar

I've been here for like 4 - 5 years and I still couldn't give a real shit.
 
Even though I only joined a few months ago, I still feel like this place has made me a bit more mature. My mind has been more open to things lately, and instead of just blindly choosing a side to any sort of issue, I listen to both sides.
 
It's weird to think that I grew up on this forum. But that's the truth. I registered on this site when I was fourteen and I'm now nineteen. I am closer to more people here than I am in real life. When I need to talk about something, I don't go to people around me, rather my messenger list. It's comforting to know that they're there for me whenever I need to talk, something I don't feel with other people around me. I feel like I'm more mature than my friends and have more of a worldly view than them. Nearly my entire library of music has come from suggestions from members of this forum.

It's weird to think that an internet forum has changed me. But that's the truth. I am a better person having known all of you.

I've been here for pretty damn long but my post count doesn't show for it. I'm 27 and don't feel like this forum has exactly been a second home to me (too many contenders IRL), but there definitely are some awesome people that I've enjoyed arguing with and other stuff. This forum is definitely more civilized than other places and I'm glad I haven't been hanging around other places.

One remark though ... as opposed to now, back when I joined I felt like this forum should have been halflife2.co.uk, amirite?

edit: God dammit why did my post have to follow teh gayhug?
 
I don't see anything gay about that hug at all.

Note: No dicks are touching.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, IT ISN'T GAY UNTIL THE DICKS TOUCH

In an effort not to be outdone, each man will attempt to hug even harder than the others. This will result in a super dense piece of muscle forming, that will probably consume the Earth.

It'll be like a giant cock is eating humanity, instead of the other way around.
 
I've been coming here since I was like 17... I don't think my "posting persona" has really changed much, though... I'm probably a bigger asshole now I guess.

And it's been long enough that friends/family all know I come here and recognize the site... though none of them have an account or come here on their own to my knowledge.
 
Man, reading all my old threads is mad embarrassing D:
 
I was 17 when I joined up and am 22 now. I think I know some of you guys pretty well, some of you fairly well, some not so well, and most of you not at all.

Thats more than I can say for the people I know in real life. I know my best friends really well, and dont know shit about anyone else i've met.


Also, I was always a cool poster. When I go back and read my old threads and posts, I think to myself "Damn, thats one cool mother ****er."

In the 9 months I've been here I'm seem to have matured up a bit. When I look back at some of my first posts I'm just like :o.

I believe that I raged at you and you stopped for a bit.

I believe some of my first posts were about a really bullshit computer....

Wait wat, I always thought u were like 35 or something cuz of one pic in the picture thread.
 
The amount of "I grew up on this forum," "I'm more mature because of this forum," and "I know some of you better/interact with you more than people in real life" comments in this thread are staggering.

And frankly, depressingly pathetic.

Darkside you need to write something amazing, get it published, and then live off the royalties till you die.

I find the "I'm more mature" thing to be ridiculous (unless you're like 12 years old when you come here). If anything, this forum made me less mature, and probably also stupider. I never used to make grammar mistakes like switching "to" and "too," but being surrounded by bad grammar makes me screw up sometimes.
 
I'll choose my words carefully, not wanting to incur the many faces of Darkside. I don't think halflife2.net has done a lot to change me, but if you take the time to read over my posts, it at least offers a (Small) window in the changes that have taken place in my life. My attitudes towards many things have changed. I think, overall, I've become more free thinking. Many of my old posts embarrass me, but at least I was a friendly chap.

I believe I have inspired other people on the forum to become more mature and, I hope, more sarcastic.
 
Now who was it that wrote the Headcrab dissertation?

Perhaps the greatest post ever?

...

Well, for one thing, I'm pretty sure we have this same thread like every six months or so like clockwork, and I've said it pretty well there before. Though I have a much less strong emotional connection to the members of this site than many of the other members of this site (?!), I still feel a strong camaraderie with most members of this site, respect and admiration for a few, and a solid friendship with one or two (get on Steam, Cavalry). This forum has played a huge part in the devolopment of my intellect, sense of humor, and perspective. It continues to provide me with the best suggestions for television, music, books, and games. It's a damn fun place and I'm glad I signed up*.


*Except for those occasions when this place has been far too big of a distraction.
 
I think what Viperidae meant to say was "Correct."
