Well, I remember signing up for the site and not touching the forums until 2005 when I became coordinator of Youmacon's AMV Contest. First post was thanking Medieval for posting the rules for me because I was a silly noob and didn't think to post the rules to THE amv site in the US. Apparently, I didn't realize I had a forum account either. (what ever happened to brsrk anyway?)

Then I went and posted my newest and greatest hottest AMV in the announcements forums (first time too!) and it was a gif video and has branded me ever since! I didn't even use vidid or anything (don't remember if that was available back then or not...) Apparently people hated my use of text in vids back then as well. Forever alone wolf liked it tho, so it's obvious even back then that we'd get along

I then apparently got active posting in lots of contest threads and trying to promote my own contests... I forgot I had tried to get MJ up to Detroit for an H IC. It is interesting seeing my current avatar in place for my posts back then. Fun times.
Still don't think I ever grew out of the awkward phase though....
