*Breathes in*... Boi, I should probably be the "Bigger man" and just let bygones be bygone, but unfortunately, although I am a better person now than I was back then, I can't help but indulge in a bit of pettiness since no one is here anymore to even read this.
To any of those who faintly remember me, I was the "terrible troll" that supposedly terrorized this community for a few brief instances little less than a decade ago, Ignoring the fact that when I fist discovered you all I was basically still a kid who had just been exposed to the internet for the very first time, during which I also found that one of your members, (so called "friend" of mine) had been passing off my art as his own to a thunderous applause on your forums, only for me to be ignored & swept under the rug when exposing him.
Was I a spicy boy? yes. Was I lacking basic internet etiquette because I had never before interacted with others online? yup. misunderstood you could say? most definitely. Did any of you take any of this into consideration? fuck no. You guys were a bunch of assholes towards me, and I responded the only way I knew how to at that time.
I guess I should probably thank you all, because my intense hatred and dislike for this community drove me to make my own, one that is far more welcoming & accommodating, one that is far more understanding than this preppy circle of ivy league fart sniffers EVER was. And unlike you all, I don't target someones art as a means to insult them personally.
So thank you for being one of the fuel sources that continue to drive me towards success, and thank god this group faded away, It brings me great pleasure.
