The Final Post on AP.net, The Transition to Chorus • Page 8

It's just god, I was such an asshole at 15 (and also very in denial about my sexuality lol)

 

I don't know if I can find my first post from 2006, but I remember my first thread was about Emery. Standard. (I'm wearing an Emery shirt right now.) My oldest quote is a year after I joined. And a poster who is on this site called me a moron, so that's an exciting discovery.

 

I'm saving old band drafts for some reason and I came across this one from Spo in 2011. Strong draft here:
29. Star Slight's band: Sax and Violins
Vocals - Abel Tesfaye of The Weeknd
Vocals/Multinstruments - S. Carey of Bon Iver
Guitar/Keyboards/Bass/Baacking vocals- Mike Kinsella of Owen
Backing vocals/Multiinstrumentals/Production- David Byrne of the Talking Heads
Instrumentation/Background Sounds- World's End Girlfriend

 

Thank you! So glad our journeys get to continue together.

 

But ... but now you're a moderator. You waited 9 years ... and revenge can be yours.

 

07 is as far back as I can find. Sad face.

 

I am so glad my actual first posts are gone...then again my 2008 posts are not that great either lol

 

My earliest I can find. Mostly lurked and posted in news posts before then: Remove Brokencyde From Warped Tour

Strong hot takes even at 15.

 

If you're teaching me the dark side, does that make me Kylo Ren orrrrrrr ?

 

Goin home, goin home

by the waterside I will rest my bones...

listen to the river sing sweet songs

and rock

my

soul

 

It really is incredible how much cleaner, faster, and efficient these forums are compared to AP

 

joined a month before turning 13. i looked up my first quote and it's this dude from bright and early whining about all time low not taking small bands (his band) out on tour

 

Remember March/April Mayhem? AP.net's favorite bands?

 

The true GOAT of the Star Wars Saga.

 

I thought Bright and Early was the coolest band at one point. I'm scared to look for that thread because I probably defended him or something, and that song about ATL is so silly and petty in retrospect.

 

My posts on AP used to give me such anxiety. Outting myself as a weirdo, but when I first started posting I was so scared that people would be mean, that I'd honestly be up all night scared that I'd be quoted and someone would be snarky to me lmao. Or PM'd, omg. I only ever get PM'd like once a year so that would freak me out.

Also, I want to shoutout to a user who I don't remember. It was yeeeears ago. I think I was 15? I posted a dumb rambling where I was complaining about something at school, and a poster with a zillion posts was like "The only thing dumber than what you're complaining about, is your stupid post" and I apologized and was all meek, and some other prestigious user with a zillion posts defended me and was like "don't apologize. They're just an asshole" and even tho they prob don't remember, it made me feel less small at the time and made me less scared to post.

 

Hahahha. I'm drunk enough to say it's actually incredible that AP.net even runs at all right now. But yeah, it's like night and day. I was benchmarking the two a few months ago and it's almost sad how much faster I could get these with less hardware. It's sad. It makes me sad if I think about it too much.

 

This is amazing. I'm glad I'm a small part of this in some way. AP and high school went hand in hand for me.

 

No need to hide behind your psychedelic rock bands, broseph. Let your emotions soar on their own accord.

 

this is the purest expression of my emotions

 

Thank you so much for posting over the years. Your posts, your guidance, has helped shape this community and me in ways that I'd do a bad job at explaining if I tried. So, just, thank you.

 

YES. Everyone took it way too seriously

 

Initially seeing that I have a PM has always been the weirdest feeling. Just complete irrational anxiety over the idea that someone has something to say that they felt needed to be kept private.
