And for heaps of fun, just find "all threads started by user" for anybody and go to the earliest ones. I have some that are particularly cringeworthy and poorly written.
Oh please, don't suggest that! I'm going to be awakened in the middle of the night now by a violent spasm of cringing. (*cringe*)

Most of us did not take as much pride in our posts when we were young wights. It was before we found out how great the Downs was- a site worthy of our best efforts.
Yes, that has to be a part of it. But another factor, in my case at least, was that I just grew the hell up. Some at least.

I actually think I degressed. I was going back to some of my first posts (for example on Fordim's The Road and the Ring) and the CBC threads and all these other analyzing posts. Now I'm like strictly Crazy Captions and Werewolf...they sure take up your time I'll tell you.

True. They gobble up time than I will food this Thanksgiving. (Well, maybe not that much.)

You guys are right. When I was a newer member, I didn't really understand what was going on, and didn't care what I said near so much. I can definitely say I've matured(Not sure that just saying it makes it true though. ). Although, I must say that I think I post a lot less 'deep' posts now , and can be found in Mirth more often than not. I'd really like to put in more Books posts, but it's sometimes difficult to get involved in those(when you haven't read the books in a while), and especially when you're addicted to Werewolf!
