'K, so I was looking through all my old posts, to see how I've progressed as a member. I found some stuff that looks really bad, now that I look back at it.
This includes (but is not limited to) this thread: I wasn't the thread starter, but it contains my first post ever (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=112924)
Also, Canada haunts me. (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=163502)
For me?

All my early posts are embarrassing. I like to pretend they never happened.

Yeah, yeah, um... do you know me at all? Everything I've ever said on TZ embarrasses me in retrospect. I'm an oaf. I acknowledge it, though.

I'm frequently a little embarassed about my posts, depending on them. I've had some really embarassing moments in the past on TZ, but I try not to dwell on them too much.

You'll never develop a complex with that kind of can do attitude!

Snapping at Matt Wilson a few times. Also my first few posts on the forum were just plain over-dramatic:

I can't tell you how often I've looked back on my posts and thought, "Wow, that was just completely inane -- no worthwhile content whatsoever," or "Man, I was such a JERK in that post." And if I've offended anyone or wasted anybody's time with some of my posts, please accept my apologies and know that it wasn't a deliberate attempt to cause grief; I just can't seem to always keep my worse qualities in check.

My early posts are absolutely awful to read. I hate to read them, which is why I don't.
My early threads are horrible and I edited my posts [and made note of it by outting stuff like "P.P.S"] waaay too often.

Never. I'm perfect.
Okay, fine....
I have a tendency to get hotheaded every so often and yell at people when they get on my nerves; such as whenever a religion topic squeaks by the moderators and I make the mistake of clicking there.
I can't remember any specific examples of dumb posts from me, but I'm sure the rest of you can.

Oh yeah, I was like that a lot when those topics were still allowed in the Cafe.

Back in 2005, I attempted an April Fools Day thread and failed because I was too n00bish at the time to understand that in order to upload a pic on TZ, you can't do it directly from your computer.:

*sigh* Yeah... yeah, that's me. I don't post much, but here I have this terrible curse of saying this either completely redundant, re-posting something already said, or asking a question already asked, despite efforts not to. Which is really, really odd since that honestly almost never happens on any of the other forums I've joined.
Out of all my posts there might be, oh, say, three that don't completely embarass me. Counting this one.

Psycho hottie Kira.
I swear, that's DinoThunder Yellow, not a Gundam SEED character...
... and chose to bring it up in a SEED thread.

I remember reviving OLD threads from the Boomerang forum. Of course, that was back when I was a noob and had an obsession for Ricochet Rabbit.

The one that sticks out in my mind was confusing Shaoh Tucker, the daughter-killing scientist from Fullmetal Alchemist, with Chris Tucker, AKA Ruby Rod from The Fifth Element.
I have no idea why nobody called me out for that.

I started a dumb debate the other day in the Hellboy: Blood and Iron Talkback about fighting style similarities between Hellboy and Naruto. Watching Blood and Iron and Naruto right in a row just did something funny to my brain, I guess.
Also, who in the world is Matt Wilson? I've seen references to him all over the place (usually negative). What's the big deal?

A couple of years ago I joined in on a thread game, and said something apparently offensive, because this person totally went nutso on me. I felt so turned off I haven't gone near or participated in any of the TZ games since.

He's an older member who doesn't come here anymore. He used to be a moderator. He's known for being very opinionated.

I always thought a majority of threads I created were particularly embarassing, even more so since I wasn't able to delete them once I felt that way.

It took me a long time to get up the nerve to make my own threads. The first I made when I was nine months into TZ, and it was a West Wing season six talkback. It didn't last long, but at least a few people replied. A little while later there was a thing going on in the Entertainment Board about what songs people hated. I thought there should be a little love injected into the board, and so I started this:
http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=137291
I felt pretty ashamed of myself. It's like, you know, when you're at a big party and you try to inject yourself in the conversation but everybody ignores you because they don't care. At least that's what it seems like.
But I'm the Lost talkback guy now, so this doesn't matter anymore. :)
I'm sure there were plenty of times where I put my foot in my mouth, I just don't have the time nor the desire to look them up.

I'm much less worried about content, nowadays. I acknowledge that I say stuuuupid things, so I'm free to post stupid crap and be able to blow it off. I do dwell sometimes, like if I go off on someone, or if I post in a talkback [don't ask], but for the most part, I try not to look back on my scary post-past. o.<

I've found that I have about a two month rule - somewhere around the point where a post hits two months in age, if I look back on it, 95% of the time it seems foolish, over dramatic, stupid, uninformed, rude, or otherwise somehow embarrassing, and usually have the notion of deleting it if it hasn't been quoted or replied to.
But up to that 2 month point, it usually seems brilliant. In fact, there seems to be a direct correlation between how brilliant I find it at first and how inane I find it later on. I don't know why...

Oh yeah. I don't like to look through my thread history link, because I KNOW I've said some really dumb, n00bish stuff in the past, especially when I first got here.

My early posts here are an embarassment to me now, they're just so dumb! Or atleast 87% of them!

This one (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?p=1857611#post1857611) is probably my number one most embarassing moment, and proably the only time i've ever gotten into a really heated deabte at TZ.
Second a hated debaite I had with Matt: http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=135753
Third: http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=148342. Irrational Complaint
Other than that, some of my earlier Fanarts (for the Drawing Board) are kind of difficult to look at today (the ones that still exists, anyway), and my posts are often riddled with typos.
Back in 2005, I attempted an April Fools Day thread and failed because I was too n00bish at the time to understand that in order to upload a pic on TZ, you can't do it directly from your computer.:

Funny that's exactly what happened with my FIRST Fanart thread.
