I'm sure there's a topic like this somewhere already, but I don't know how to find it... feel free to merge or close or whatever.
I first joined this forum because I was having a little trouble with my Blogspot layout (which nobody helped me with, now that I think of it... LOL). And then I found out two of my friends were active on cB - Gigi and Maryland (turbulent... but I guess she's no long active)! I stopped using cB for a really long time, until I decided to check up on it again a couple months ago. Now I'm pretty much here for the community (... or what's left of it). This is where I go when I'm bored! Question 2: And how have you changed since you first joined? I was just looking back at my first posts, and I've changed in the sense that I stopped typing like "iono wat to do". I like to spell things out properly now, with proper upper- and lower-cases. And I guess I grew up a bit too, considering I'm 3 years old than when I first joined. God, I was such an annoying 15 year old. |

I joined CB to see a bunch of the photoshop tutorials. Also i got an account when i felt the need to ask some questions on the help part of the forums. I didnt really use my account wise on the forums until about a month or so ago.
Didnt realize all the forum stuff. |

Question 1: Why did you start using cB?
i started using cB because of the myspace layouts. then i signed up like maybe 6-12 months after so i could submit graphics & tutorials. but tbh, i never knew what the forums section of cB was or did. i wouldn't click that link at all. until like 1 year after i made my account, my curiosity got the best of me & i went to the forums. so since then, i've been active here  Question 2: And how have you changed since you first joined? as far as how i've changed, i can't really think of anything. except for the fact that i don't customize my text when posting in the forums anymore. |

Q1:
I started because I liked the codes here, I stayed because of the forums. Q2: I've stopped being the stupid 14 year old I was when I joined. Now I'm a stupid 15 year old :D |

1.) I first joined cB because I used their layouts. After my 2.5 years hiatus, and my sweet life of multiple relationships ended, I came back to cB last August because I got bored and ended up with so much free time. I also came back to meet cool people like Joanne and Gigi.
2.) I changed as I use to be this nobody that no one knew, and was always put down by the "popular" cb members back in the days. But that has changed, and it's the other way around. I put other people down rofl. |

QUOTE(Tungster @ Jul 10 2008, 04:17 PM)  I also came back to meet cool people like Joanne and Gigi. Well said.  Funny thing for me is that nobody here has ever really put me down before. I thought I'd be one of those nobodies who gets picked on... but I think the fact that I'm good friends with one of the 'popular' cBers helps. So thanks, Gigi! I think I'd be one of those bashed people if it wasn't for you. =P |

In the '80s, I was a Reagan operative conducting undercover investigations in the Soviet Union when I was betrayed by my partner and captured by members of the Robot Socialist Republic. They forced me into indentured servitude to create technology for their new doomsday device, which eventually became the central mainframe for the "CreateBlog" you know of today. Since I'm partly responsible for its creation, I feel obligated to stay here and warn the public before it's too late.
I've changed in many ways. I now realize that man can control his own destiny. We may not be at a stage where nuclear proliferation is a thing of the past, but everyone can take steps to reduce the threat and make the world a safer place for future generations. |

I first found CreateBlog when I was looking for Xanga layouts to use. Someone told me about the site when I was in seventh grade. I didn't start posting on the forums until September 2006 even though I registered in March 2005, otherwise my PPD would be a lot higher.
Overall, I've just grown up a lot, and that's bound to bring change. |

I found CB when I was looking for Xanga layouts. Then I wanted to start making my own and got an account so I could spam the help forums with questions.
After a loooooong hiatus (2 or 3 years?) I actually post in the CC now (tada!), whereas before I only posted in the RC. |

Yeah, Tung, I totally didn't know who you were until pretty recently. I know that you've been around since I was a mod, but I never knew you then. Although, you really remind me of Steven (basick). I miss him. :( He was entertaining too!
For the record, I don't really actively stand up for Joanne around here, so Joanne, if you're not being picked on, it's of your own accord. Sidenote: I really, really, really hate mixing my real life with cB. I guess that's another reason why I came here, it's a place where I can let off some steam without other people knowing. I can't do that anymore LOL. |

xxstarpower - Because people do change, whether it may be improving in graphic design, typing faster, becoming more well-known in the forums,... Would you care to explain why you think it's lame?
Gigi - Haha, it's weird... I feel like knowing you prevented people from picking on me. But it's probably not true - it's not like I'm going around saying stupid things like some people. And I guess I know what you mean by letting off steam without people knowing... |

I'm pretty sure most people don't know that you know me IRL.
It's not like you plaster "GIGI'S FRIEND" in your member title. |

I came here because I viewed source on someone's myspace page and then after seeing the site I bookmarked it. So, after a while I joined.
And... I don't think I've changed. I dunno. |

Cuz you aren't annoying, and post stupid stuff like those newbies like emberfly, katalyst, XTC (but he's semi-okay now), etc. You get the picture. I knew you were new, and I didn't pick on you lol, and that was before I even knew you were Gigi's friend. So I doubt Gigi had anything to do with it. @Gigi - Lol. People keep talking about this Steven Ding guy. They say he's like me too lol. Apparently he's a shoe head too. And I guess I take that as a compliment that you think I'm entertaining as well? Haha. Thanks. |
