Well it has been almost 3 years since I joined this happy board of forum dudes and dudets of the flame, but I am curious of one thing. I'm a little hesistant to ask this... What was your guys first impression of I? This is a little out of the blue for myself because I don't normally go off bound to make a thread asking of what others thought of me at first glance then over the three year spread. This is and will always be my first forum board and you guys were all nice and made this newbie feel comfortable even if he made tons of spelling errors and oddball comments or had little understanding of the net which frankly I still do for someone born in 1990. Tee hee... Anyways I won't feel offended if you guys found me a nuisance or something else ,because obviously I wouldn't be coming back every now and then to post my thoughts with others. You guys are very fun to talk to and I still enjoy our neverending fandom of megaman. Hope no one thinks I'm one of those guys who are paranoid about how others think if him... Sheesh...

Well...despite the fact that you and i were almost at the same month when we joined. I"m like wtf now since you got more than me. But anyway, when you came into the forums, i thought you were a Japanese. Hence the term "drift". Now ever since i saw Tokyo Drift(my favorite one) when i hear a drifter or somebody who loves to drift, i think of a Japanese. No offense...

I thought you were a computer newbie kid and that the computer was very new to you. You really gave off that vibe. lol

Drifter is basically a person who roams and generally doesn't stay in a place too long much like a wanderer and this was very true of myself because I could never stay somewhere too long on line mainly. A Drifter also often doesn't affiliate with anyone either. Also I used Drifter to represent the fact I was technically an invisible user as I just go to boards read what others say and post maybe once or twice at a time. I guess you could say I had a hard time specking to others on line because of my awkward social skills. In the real world I was anti social up in till High School.
Computer Newbie is a very true statement because I'm very old fashioned kind of guy.When I was in elementary school the first computer I used was an apple and eventually those became obsolete and the district forced us to basically learn and use the modern computer at that time. Sure I use a computer and play games ,but thats really all I do because it requires not much understanding other than some fancy button keys. I'm definitely not very modern I can't even text, I barely use net slang, and I still have yet to order something on line. I also get confused on newer tech options and upgrades.

I can't remember exactly what I thought 3 years ago... Though it would have probably have been along the lines of: "Hey, a new member. Cool."
As for the whole spelling errors and whatnot, I personally don't like to hassle people on them because: 1- Errors happen. Some people type faster than others and errors happen as a result. 2- Some people have a tougher time with spelling than others, no big deal. 3- I have my faults too. (Yeah, my use of punctuation is pretty poor.)
As for being a nuisance... I don't find you one at all. And I wouldn't worry about that at all either since you've said we're all pretty laid back here and we're all here just to have a good time so I don't think we'd really have that much of an issue with anyone else. (About the only ones we really have issues with are the ones here to cause trouble with us. And then we don't actually have a problem with them until they start messing with us.)

Well you guys are very chill the nuisance thing is just to show how much I don't care of others who thought of me that way. And obviously it ain't the regulars.
