Nothing much has changed really.

I mean I can grow a beard now I guess and I don't think Oblivion needs multiplayer now (god I hate 09 me).

I um... I now have a phobia of bears. That's... about it.

Edit: Also I joined the Marines and took a larger interest in boxing.

One thing that hasn't changed is my habit of making a post, then forgetting something directly after making the post so I edit it in the post. Seriously, I don't think I have a single unedited post.

Well, in the short 4 or so years I've been roaming these boards various life events have occured to me that have transformed me from a happy and worry-free kid into a very pessimistic and world-weary individual...in other words, I grew up.

I've been here since last December, nothing much has happened since that. Maybe a promotion at work, I dunno.

Nothing except for thanks to this forum more specifically people like DEFRON, I now know more about computers then most people (which isn't saying much), I've even gotten paid to fix a few people's computers. So uh, thanks. :yes:

Wait, didn't really understand the OP. Well I'm not an angsty teenager anymore (at least not as much), working out has become a MAJOR new life passion, more specifically bodybuilding but I'm still trying to lose some stubborn fat from all my lazy years with cardio and that's going well, going to start bulking when school starts again. Not growing my hair out anymore, keeping it short or at least short-ish, actually manage to play some songs on guitar, have a job, like punk rock and many other genres now, most metal bores me now for some reason, sadly video games becoming boring (hopefully fixed by all the great games coming out this year), have almost no idea what I'm going to do with my future now.

I don't think I have changed that much. I was 16 but generally the same person I am today.

I joined when I was 13 (under different accounts, to be certain). Now I am 19. I've done nothing major since then, except what usually comes with growing up. I have a feeling I've matured a lot since then, but people always assume that they have become better people in the present than they were in the past. Otherwise people realize the years they've wasted by making themselves worse, and depression follows soon after.

The forums have motivated me to basically improve my skills as a modder, though I still have yet to actually put forth the fruits of my labors because nothing is good enough yet in my eyes. Other than that, I've decided that sticking to the Community Discussion is much more worthwhile than slowly killing my brain cells in Skyrim General.

I have plenty of friends and other acquaintances in real life I still talk to, but it's nice to have some anonymous discussions with strangers I don't know. It's good to talk with people who don't actually know me, who probably won't say certain things just for my benefit. I like to stop once in a while and figure out whether or not I'm actually a terrible person through some good old self-anolysis. Better to do that here where people can say terrible things to and about me and get away with it :P

some things changes, some didn't.

like, i pretty much don't play any TES games but i still drop by Lore forum and occasionally, like, rarely, other areas like Morrowind or art and fan fic section. i think my posts changed some. maybe. but i think i am still the same me as me in my posts back then. back then i used to post a lot. not so much now. though i've been here more and more lately. back then i had almost no life and i still have almost no life. well, there will be college in the fall(summer vacation for the loss?), but that's still couple of month away.

I spend more time on the internet, but then again I workout harder than I used to, so I guess it balances out. :shrug:

When I first joined in 2006, I was 15, going on 16, single, in homeschooling, and homely. Now I'm gonna be 21 in two weeks and am engaged to a fellow member and have been to his country to live for a year and he's been to mine. These forums are the best dating service ever.

Oh, and since I've joined, I've moved... five times. And I lived in Miami, Florida, then Atlanta, Georgia, then Wellington, New Zealand, then Atlanta again.

Since joining I've worked for MMO developers/publishers, Google, been married, moved from the U.S. to Canada, and have a beautiful baby girl due in 3 months from now. Just a few minor changes. :whistling:

Actually at the moment, my life has gotten a little worse. Before I was on the forums I had a job, and I was moving out of the house, and my girlfriend always wanted to talk to me. Now I don't have a job, I am back living with my parents, and my girlfriend won't respond to any texts/calls....

boohoo for me right?

but oh here is a good thing! I have started exercising more. That's a good sign.

I remember my first posts on the forum. Extremely giddy for New Vegas, not able to shut up, basically posting the same thread 10 times, etc. My oh my how I've changed.

It took sometime, but it eventually all happened.

Unless you meant it as an exercising joke. Then you made a funny! :tongue:

Let's see... Joined in '05, so I was 14 at the time, making me 20 currently. Through those years I've finished highschool, did a year of post-secondary school of which I dropped out of, had and lost job (quit on good terms to go to post-secondary), and I've been looking for work since I got back to town (~2 years). But through all of that, I am still the quiet guy who rarely posts/talks and who would rather spend his time alone than with people.

So 6 years, and the only real change I've gone through is I've grown taller.
