The First Day

Recommended Posts

I'm sure some of us remember our first days on this site. Some of us were cute and cuddly. Some us weren't. Some of us were idiots that became smart. Some that were already smart. Some of us that are still idiots.

I went from using character decks like Atem to trying to use tier decks and failing. Tried burn and became successful then tried tier again and succeeded. I admit i'm still an idiot in card debates but at least you guys taught me one thing. Character decks suck.

How much have you changed since you first joined? How has this site changed your life?

[s]I remember when I was just a lad...[/s]

I remember when I first joined, and I remember how much of a little newbie I was. XP I had a pokemon splice avatar, made poor cards, and didn't post anywhere besides RC. Now I have joined some clubs, learned more about other shiz, and met a lot more people around the forums.

In fact, I remember when I made a similar thread a while back: [url="http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/205792-from-noob-to-now/"]http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/205792-from-noob-to-now/[/url]

And I was still quite a noob when I made it. :P

lol Smesh at least try to be on topic. XP

tbh I did this right after the forum switch, so if the forum doesn't take .gif anymore then I don't know if there is a way.

OT: 4tutoralcom was my first friend on here iirc. <3

My first days on YCM were not so great. I don't know why I stayed, I guess just because me and my best friend had a lot of fun making cards together. I was a terrible noob and made quite a few joke cards that I posted in my real topics before I actually showed the real card. Yeah, no one thought I was funny. I learned the hard way that YCM had kind of strict opinions on fun.

I was using Ancient Gears and making "lol" expressions like they were made of candy. My cards typically focused on interpretting ideas rather than using my own ideas. Didnt leave Custom Cards for like the first 1-3 months until Dj Osiris linked me to some joke in General.

Holy s***. It's been at least 3 years. This will explain alot; my first username was Cody_iz_goin'_to_win; I never used capitals except on the first letter of a sentence, and I overused emoticons. I did the

Jim: Hey Bob
Bob: Hey Jim
type of Roleplaying. My homes were Roleplaying, and Clubs and Organizations (I was the guy who did the Sonic Heroes Club a few years ago.). I achieved Legend status at 10 years, joined at 9, around when Bloodrun was still here. Ah, Bloodrun. Darth too!

Now, i'm a brooding 13 year old who has almost perfect capitalization, only an occasional syntax error, and an accidental double cap on the first word.

I stay away from the Roleplaying section on the fact of how shitty it's gotten. I stick mainly to the General section and its sub-sections. I spent since July 13, 2008 on here, as the youngest popular member of all time (9 years old!). And it's given me more knowledge than basically everyone I know IRL.

And i'm still here. Still here.

I was a Pop Culture hermit for the first several months, toiling over Naruto and SSB "sets", entering contests for reps, and giving "constructive" criticism to almost every thread I could find while also trying to show the "trolls" that said my cards sucked that they were in fact super special awesome.
Then I received a PM from a kid named Aa'une asking if I could join the Akatsuki of YCM.
*insert 2 years of new friendships, animes, mangas, music, clubs, women, drama, trollings, lolyugikaibajoey.deks, tragedies, unfinished RPs, fanfics and life changes here*

I remember reading all the rules before even joining, and trying so carefully trying not to get banned after I signed up, as I was a careful type. I also avoided trying to start conversations to the members, and I pretty much just made cards, and was on Pop Culture Cards for like forever, rating a bunch of cards poorly.

I was Ninjakid1. Speaks for itself, okay. I was so naive.

Met Larxene first on here when his username was Clairiex. And then a whole bunch of series of events followed after that.

Oh goodness, have things changed.

Can't say this site changed my life, but the members on here did. There were so many separate forums I became a part of because of the community I met here three years ago. The separate forums are more so the sites that changed my life, but YCM has always been a meeting place for the whole community.

That was my first topic :o

I changed from when I first came on the site. I came on wanting to win every contest and now I haven't made a card since...long time.
