CB History Options

[Herizon Action]

So what's your recap of your createblog experience thus far? When and why did you join? What persuaded you to stay? What were some of your most memorable moments? Etc, etc.


As for me, I joined createblog on March 2004 in search of xanga layouts and help. my old username was Ethixfantazia, which was derived from my xanga. It had no inherit meaning since I chose it because I thought it was a nifty name. I didn't actually go active for an entire summer until around August, when I found myself stumbling into createblog chat. I think the chat is what persuaded me to stay on this forum. I've met so many interesting people who've come and left, and maybe came back.

I joined createBlog/Xangans back in my Xanga days. Harr. I wanted to find a layout, Googled it, and voila - Xangans. The people were fun. I miss them. Kristine.. Steve.. Jordan.. CJ.. I will miss them. I distinctly remember Seon Ho being really mean to me when I was a noob and asking some dumb question regarding a script. Haha. I recently went through my old posts.. I can't believe I typed in complete sentences even then. Shocked me, really. ^ See, I liked the chat, but now it kind of irks me, no offense. There's too many people. I like it when there's only about five or so. So anywho I stayed because I wanted to get better at making layouts. I got Yemi (I miss her, too) to send me PhotoShop through the mail (yes, because I had dial-up; still do) and learned on my own, with the help of these wonderful tutorials here. Oh gosh. I remember when I was promoted. There weren't really rules or anything for getting modded and whatnot, so I PMed Jusun, asking him what it took to be on Staff, and he just modded me. I felt special. Then I remember when I got to be Head Staff and I reorganized all the Scripts by myself for the most part. Oh gosh. That took forever. I remember calling everyone.. Nick.. I spoke to Elba once I think.. Kim! Jose.. Wow. I came back recently because I missed it sort of and MySpace got boring. This is really long. No one's going to read this all.

I joined CB over two years ago and when I first joined, I made a lot of really good friends. We were all really close - closer than I was with my IRL friends. It was really cool. I hadn't done any webdesign when I joined, but the more I was on the forum, the more interested and proficient I became, and I would say that I'm fairly good now. Most of what I do today is based on my influences from Createblog.
