Well since we're getting a little off topic with the whole "wow when I first joined the internet I was an idiot" thing on the Dumb dA Comments thread, I figured I'd might as well start a new thread. What were you like as a naive, young lad, setting forth into the digital realm of the internet? Were you apprehensive, scared, or did you think of yourself as the most bad booty person there ever was?

To start, my very first internet experience was probably Neopets when I was 8. Eventually I joined the boards when I was 11 and thought I was so tough to the point where I just sounded totally arrogant. Eventually I made my way to deviantART where I produced little pieces of glory like this thing here because that's what you do when you're 12.

Got any horror stories of how you used to act on old forums, websites, etc?

I remember when I was around 13-14 or so some guy kept trolling everyone on dA. He eventually made it to my account and his main catchphrase was "go cut your tiddies and sell them", which was to say probably the most interesting insult I've heard.

Also my dA name is Candy-Ice, based on one of my Sonic characters. And I still like it

All over Neopets, I was. Made up silly OCs and backstories for them and thought they would come to some sort of fruition (they didn't)

Then I went to Gaia and did basically the same thing, only I was slightly older

I still think about those (albeit terrible) characters sometimes even though I have nothing to do with them.

I think I spent most of my time on various sites like cartoonnetwork.com and neopets and some forum, I discovered deviant art and youtube and and places like that and screwed around

Then I made a video that ruined my school liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife
I screwed around for a couple of more years then found this place

I also spent a few months on Gaia

OH OH and I was really into writing these stories that I thought were really epic but they really sucked.

My username there was crazys_requiem because I thought the word "requiem" was dramatic and whatnot. I still have an email account with that name, but I try to use the emails with less ridiculous names attached now...

I was never really one of those to make backgrounds for my Neopets, but I used to roleplay Sonic there all the time (being as obsessive as I was). I did however write stories about my Neopets to put on their pages, and tried to write a story that was pretty much a complete rip off of Paper Mario 2 to submit to the newspaper. Thankfully I never finished it, but allow me to grace your presence with some excerpts:

The young Eyrie screeched with anger. Her golden yellow feathers reflected off the light that the black flame candles glow that were crowded next to each other in the chamber. Her red eyes were filled with anger as she stared at the demon’s eyes.

“You almost killed us with your tricks, you tired to trap us in the tower, you pulled my only friends into the darkness below, you destroyed everything, and you surrounded the world in darkness,” she shouted angrily.

The demon laughed and smirked at the Eyrie. Crossing his arms he said “Your friends were very pathetic. They couldn’t save you even if they tried. I’ve been watching you for some time now, and you seemed like a small threat to me.”

The Eyrie gasped and stepped back, her eyes widened with fear. “You, you were watching us?” she said, shocked with surprise and anger.

“Shocking, isn’t it? You underestimated the power of dark energy, Xena,” the demon replied, amused of Xena’s reaction.

Xena growled. Her feathers shook a little with her anger. “I shall send you back into the depths of back where you came from!” she shouted, getting prepared for an attack.

The demon smirked. “You…amuse me Xena. Never have I ever faced some one as strong as you.”

Xena’s hands started to glow with a yellow light. She jumped up and spread her golden but damaged wings and tired her best to fly up to the demon’s head. She pulled back her hand and got ready to attack the demon, her hands surrounded with a huge amount of light energy. The demon smirked and grabbed the Eyrie, just when she was about to hit him.

“Pity tough,” said the demon, frowning. “I was hoping for this fight to continue longer. No matter. You are still a threat to me, and for that you must be destroyed.”

Xena tried desperately to struggle free. Little did the demon know, though, she had one more trick up her sleeve.

The demon threw the Eyrie into the wall as hard as he possibly could. She hit the large black stone pillars that held up the chamber. The stone broke were she hit and tumbled down with Xena. Xena hit the ground hard and the stone fell on top of her. The Eyrie screamed with pain as the rocks fell hard upon her.


And that is actually all I ever wrote on that story.

Quote:
“I shall send you back into the depths of back where you came from!”

Favorite quote

I automatically beat everyone here for, if not the worst username, at least the most childish.

The account is six and a half years old, shut up.
