I remembered that I was a game reviewer when I first started writing on Vizzed, and I look back on them and I thought, what was I thinking?



Seriously, the amount my maturity has changed from then to now is a little... ironic to say the least?



Does anyone else do this? Feel free to share your experiences, I really want to look at them!

Yes, I look over my old threads.

And boy do I cringe.

I did go through my guides, and men, has my style improved over the years... I'm sure the same will apply to reviews, though I haven't worked that much on them so the change would be more sudden compared to the gradual improvement of my guides.

As for other threads not linked to any game page, I don't really look back. I don't tend to make many threads, and they don't generally get many replies, so better leave them be. They were useful at their time, but not anymore.

I don't do it often because usually when I'm online I don't have enough time to do stuff other than what I came on for. Every now and then I'll look at the replies to some of my older threads though.

yoshirulez: Haha! I guess I do too!

EX Palen : I'd generally the same with replies, if a thread barely gets anything, so be it. As for reviews, I usually tend to use them for points and what I can discuss.

zanderlex : I honestly just cringe at my replies, you are lucky you avoid them.

I go back through some of my replies and threads on occasion expecting to cringe, but what I pot now and what I posted then hasn't really changed a great deal, I don't think. More than anything, I just find myself being slightly more blunt and confrontational in the debate forum than I am now. Other than that,
I think I'm still pretty much the same.

Hm... You don't seem to have changed much to me.

Seeing as I haven't been on Vizzed for even 3 years though, I would imagine that most of my "old" threads and posts probably don't seem all that different from my most recent posts/threads to most people. I also don't tend to look back at my older posts much since I more or less remember what I wrote. On occasion though, I'll go back to review a story I was writing to either continue it or make a new story based off of the old one. In general, I prefer going back to read other people's posts rather than my own.

There's a very noticeable difference between my first review and my newest one. I went from rambling walls of text to categorized reviews to my current style, and I think all of those changes were for the better. My posting style has also changed a lot...I was 12 when I first registered on Vizzed, and it's a miracle that I posted well enough to not eat a ban, not to mention the fact that I was a game reviewer on here at a fairly young age. I cringe a little bit when I look at some of that old stuff, but then I remember that I've changed a lot and that I wouldn't have made as much progress as I have now if it weren't for those old, cringe-worthy posts.

LOL, my posts were pretty much garbage in 2014, although I was hardly on forums back then so I didn't get banned. I actually recently looked at a thread that is 2 years old (the 'do you still like XP' one) and I can't believe that thread is still active after all that time.

Also, my post quality has changed, but never my style of writing -.-

I don't find myself doing that anymore but I use to alot, it was always nice doing that

I not only look back on my old threads, I annihilate them

Now that I have less time to be here, I prefer not to look back on my old threads unless it's an old review that got rated recently. Most of my old posts were weird and spammy, but I never even made an introduction thread so I had only read the rules and followed them instead of meeting anyone.

If I were to look back at a specific time, I'd look back at July of 2013, when my post activity exploded. Thanks to Mohammedroxx3, I wanted to try out the Tour de Vizzed. I didn't spam the boards like crazy but a lot of my posts were pretty short. That was way before I became a trusted member.

The times I did look back at my old threads, I usually laughed or, of course, cringed. Most of my posts now are pretty long, like this one, but back then I averaged 30 words per post, including the threads I created (except reviews) :/

I do so I can see all the stuff I've posted or if I need to reference it for something.

Nah, I don't. Maybe it's because of fact that back then my english wasn't that good. Still, it doesn't change anything. Since, mostly it's better to don't look at past.

Sometimes I do, usually the reviews, and they were unorganized and hard to read. It's like a wall of text is coming right at you every time you read it. 

I haven't really started making threads til the past year, so honestly I only have one thread that is "old." That would be my newbie thread. The next thread I made was over a year ago, and that's just about my personal problems. 

Also, I'm prob the only person here who doesn't cringe at my old threads. Honestly I laugh at my old thread and I show everyone, and we end up discussing how it's a newbie thread that got over 10 replies compared to many, many other newbie threads. 

  yes I always like to look back at my old threads just so I can see when I did them and if there were any responses it also gives me a chance to see if there were any bad threads I might have done and while I don,t do threads as often as some other people I always try to do one,s that are good and I find that by looking back at them I always get to see which one,s were better than the other threads I did

I do and instantly die from the cringe

I actually find it interesting to do at times just to see what my mindset was like, quite often I find that my opinion has changed radically since. I have usually put a lot of thought into my post regardless of when I made them so they at least don't come across as being particularly spammy, though possibly a bit like me rambling... Some of my threads I am quite proud of due to the amount of work I put into them, like the article I made about the Syrian Crisis a few months ago.

No, because I am a stupid cringe filled child and I want to slap myself back then for being so filled with cringe.

I rarely do anymore. I remember way back when I used to post a lot more, I looked back to see if I was accruing any more views...especially on my game reviews and walkthroughs. Unfortunately, I'm not all that popular on here so it never really was that much to begin with.

I don't look back on old threads very much, especially not some of my earliest threads. There are some that I wish I could make disappear.
