Do you ever look back at your old posts and

[Treemo]

Yes. Frequently. -_-

 

[Rayne]

Hm, I sometimes wonder why I don't or can't post the way I used to. I really liked a lot of the things I said back in the day.

 

[Zoe]

I just looked back at a old post like a few secs ago

 

[Baashka]

yessss, to the extreme. i have a bad tendency to make myself look like an asshole. not so much here (here it's more immaturity, if anything), but on others, especially ones i no longer frequent, i am/was REALLY bad at making myself look like a decent person. kinda reminds me how much i still need to grow up :|

When I first started using forums in about 2002 - 2004 I remember going over my old posts all the time and correcting my spelling/grammar all the time as I got older.

Eventually around 2004 I had pretty much flat lined that old habit and really worked on typing it right the first time.

Since 2008 though, I've stopped correcting myself entirely unless I catch myself in the act. Otherwise, I feel my message is clear enough to be understood in the way I intend. In the end, that's all I want in forums; is to be understood in the way I intend.

Just looked at some old posts... reaction:

The hell, man!

 

[Zoe]

I look at some, i ask myself sometimes "did i write that?"

 

[Regiruler]

Yes. And if its incredibly embarrassing, I sometimes delete it if it didn't affect the conversation to much.

 

[' Lil Griff]

I do. x__x All the time. And it's incredibly embarrassing.

 

[Every Breaking Wave]

I look back at posts I wrote five minutes ago and think that.

 

[eyeofchaos]

Yes, I regret a lot of the posts I've made.

 

[Scarlet Devil]

lol... lots of times really ^^;;
Even looking back at my old VMs, I felt like an idiot XD

 

[TFSpock]

I look back at my posts from March, and think, "Wow. I really was a noob then."

 

[Zenax]

I do, sometimes, though it's usually accidental. When I read back old topics in the Pokémon World, for example, and find an old post of mine in there. Still, I'm amazed at how nooby I was, or how my English improved in only seven months.

 

[Kakuna Matata]

Looking back, it's not so much the content of the messages as it was the way I worded them. Ugh, smileys all over in random spots, no proper punctuation to end the sentences.

Nowadays I still have smileys all over and I don't claim to be an expert on punctuation, so there are still some mistakes here and there, but I think I've gotten a wee bit better on both.

 

[winstein]

Not really. Since I was as level-headed in my comments as I am now, it's not a big deal. Still, if I look at blogs (easier to look back than actual comments), it's interesting to see how much difference there is in terms of writing style.

Thanks for reading.

 

[chimera]

Yeah, I'm ashamed a lot of my early posts. I was just kind of stupid.

 

[Focus58]

I was a n00by n00b. No regrets, though.

 

[raychuu]

When I come across my old posts, I feel a bit ashamed, because my English was even worse than now, but it's OK. It's funny to spot the differences.

 

[TheCapsFan]

Sometimes.
