Let's all laugh at how dumb we used to be

Postby jasper-isis » Wed Apr 23, 2008 1:47 am

We were all newbs once, right? Quote or link to some of the earliest posts/threads you made here on the .Org.


I'll start with this thread that I made over 5.5 years ago, titled "HELP wid annoying subtitles!!" :uhoh:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... hp?p=73974

Funny how I sounded so entitled, even while obviously trying to skirt the fact that I was asking how to work with downloaded footage.

Also, abbreviating my alias to "j-i" was apparently the cool thing to do. :lol:

This IS actually my first post. A lot of other good content from my early days is buried with the Off Topic section of the olden days.

Some funny quotes to spare you reading my uber-lengthy posts from that period, a number of which spanned multiple sections which were numbered with roman numerals:


I invented words
..but if the mainstreamity of it all excites you - go forth and downloadeth/maketh what you want!


Managed to make no fucking sense whatsoever except explain why I don't get any
As a side note, I wouldn't want to have sex with a musicologist. Or an arts major. They scare me. Not because they're all the same, but because they're so damn smart and you never know what's on their mind... Also, I have a suspicion towards anything finite, recorded or too organized.


Taught people how to live
Just for god's sake, don't learn languages that you don't have a lot of interest in. Actually, don't learn anything that you don't have interest in.


And was a self-proclaimed, militant socipath (which I was ironically NOT in real-life, I just thought it'd be cool to be one on the internet)
My condition is, however, self-induced - I've had ample opportunity to chase girls in my life and chose not to. Instead, I chose to sit in the dark corner of my basement, sharpening my intellect and taking interest in various unrelated and generally unattractive subjects.


I was also a militant fanboy
To me, FLCL is pretty darn sacred. It's the most genius thing I've ever seen on television.


And not to forget, taught people how to live
So far, upon coming into this forum, you are yet to make a provable statement and argue it with appropriate convincingness, properly defend it from criticism, and all the while stay respectful to others' opinions. Let alone something as obviously indefensible as 1+1=3

I'm suggesting you learn some respect and good rhethoric skills. These will come in far more handy in life than trolling abilities.


And ordered mods around:

DEAR MOD:

PLEASE LOCK THIS THREAD ASAP





So basically, I was an asshole :roll:

Pussy. <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=7685">I flat out told everyone I was using downloaded footage.</a>

My memories of when I started were that I didn't give a fuck about this place as a community and it wasn't worth posting unless I had a technical question. Considering like the first page of my posts are nothing but tech questions I had reality seems to have backed up my memory. I forget why I changed to not giving a fuck about the community but wasting time posting here anyway though.

Wait, also this:

OK, one more time, to explain what you have been doing around here and why it doesn't work.

You come in with a series of subjective value judgements. You rub them in everyone's face and present them as an almost-irrefutable, objective truth.

Then, you have quite a few members coming in and posting their opinions regarding what you've said. Most seem to disagree with you.

Now that's fine. But what do you do then? Instead of reasonably responding to critical views of your position and presenting rational arguments, what is your responce? There is no real response. All you do is take bits and pieces out of responses that support your position and blatantly ignore everything else.

In other words, you have been defeated rhethorically.


Man. I owned people SO HARD in discussion. SO HARD. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:







I'd also like to recall the incident where dwchang thought I was just a fake account by Hatter and called shenanigans on me.

...in retrospect, I totally see why now.

Huh. Apparently <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=23393">I've been planning to learn AE since 2003</a>. I'll get around to it one of these years. Special note, that was my first wife joke on the org.

It doesn't count if you actually had a good reason for doing so, mkay?

hmm...about the only thing that has changed is that I know what I'm talking about half of the time now (that and I use preview post religiously)

I'm surprised I didn't post till early 2003 (since I'd been a member for awhile), but here's what I found:

Post about Ushicon 2003 - Good times with MJ, Hitori, Fluxy, the Milo Brothers, Calros, etc.
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... php?t=8728

My noobness:
http://www.animemusicvideos.org/phpBB/v ... hp?t=10228

Not that I'm saying I was responsible for the stuff in the guides about "SetMemoryMax," but I do distinctly remember Ian and others (who I now call my friends) helping me with this. It was weirder b/c as it was occurring, I remember thinking "Oh man, my video is screwed. Even Ian doesn't know how to fix it!" Of course, he eventually figured it out with SetMemoryMax() and that's now something we take for granted :P. Back then? It was like "OMGWTF IS GOING ON WITH PREMIERE AND WHY IS IT ONLY HAPPENING TO ME?!?!"

...and not that it matters to any of you, but the video I was working on would later be my favorite video (still) I've ever edited so...yeah this post is all nostalgic for me.

Well actually looking at most of these is nostalgic. I mean some of these people I see every year and take for granted as friends now, but back then...I was 'just another noob' and they were strangers. Hell, in the former thread I didn't even realize Jay replied to it and he didn't even live in Austin like Brad and I did. Good times Brad...good times (I shall cherish our weekly man-dates >_>).

Edit: I also just realized my first posts were in the VCA forum in 2002 and that's probably why I can't find them. I imagine they're not part of the normal search parameters. I imagine they are far noobier >_>

Edit 2: Don't even get me started on the first e-mails I sent to folks like ErMaC and dokidoki back in the day -_-;;. I pray they've deleted them...

apparently I waited until I released the first Dance vid before I actually started posting, despite having been a member long before then. I also apparently didn't really make many posts beyond those involving Youmacon for quite a while there as well...

I forgot some people actually kind of enjoyed the first Dance ^^()
