No World a Day today, I'm wiped out (though all self-inflicted) and can at best putter at things. What I was able to get, though, was pretty interesting: history.
I think all my old posts got deleted, but I found my old forum account from a Warhammer 40k forum, back in 2003/2004.
It's a pretty perfect time capsule -- avatar is Largo from Megatokyo, the signature references Evangelion and El Goonish Shive, and the text reveals both a little lack of social graces and a ton of enthusiasm.
Found an account on another forum that actually had the posts still intact. I used way more exclamation marks and emoticons, and I can see a weird mix of certainty and tentativeness (over-politeness?) in what I posted, but I can hear my voice under that.
What a trip, there are times I love living in the digital era. I'd forgotten how many Friday evenings I ended up spending breaking up arguments on that board. 720 posts, eh? I believe it, wish I could access the messages.
