Some Nostalgia from an '04

23 July 2014 - 06:55 PM

I joined Neocodex September 09, 2004, five days after my 12th birthday. I was active, according to my old emails, from then to about the end of '06. I was friends with the likes of Robert, dck (my partner in crime), Noitidart (not sure if he was friends with me, though!), and some others that I'm sure I would remember if I looked around enough.

 

I remember wanting to try everything on the site, and getting good at just about nothing other than bull-shitting with other members and pissing people off. As far as I'm concerned now, I was a little monster. I guess most 12 year olds are. I conned my way into Private member (is that still a thing?), joined graphics team for about a month, and went to a programming class by either Hydrogen or Noitidart and for a few days was determined to learn to program. This was a pretty kicking place back in the day.

 

I know I joined for the programs, but I ended up hardly using them other than really to test them and bet on how long before I was banned. I stayed and grew up with a couple of the guys on the forums here and had a couple friendships that lasted a bit longer. It was, and hopefully still is, a group of very friendly guys and gals on this site who helped me learn a little bit about a lot of random things in life. I don't really plan on being active again, but I was talking to someone about neopets the other day and had to come and check on the community that meant so much to me from 6-8th grade.

I don't mean to be sappy or too nostalgic, but I would like to thank Hydrogen, SL64, Noitidart, and all of the other mods and admins from my time for all their hard work. It looks like you guys have done a hell of a job, and I hope you're enjoying life wherever it has taken you.

If any of you remember me at all or care, I've since graduated from middle school, high school and will be graduating from college next year from a school in New England (far from my home in Dallas), with a BS in Biology. I'm still young, but ho boy, I was really young when I was active on here. Probably one of the youngest active members.

I'll be checking this thread for the next few days, so feel free to use this place as a nostalgia thread or as anything you'd like. Feel free to ask questions, too! I probably won't remember too much. Hopefully people actually check the Introductions forum. I don't think I used to..

Best of luck.
