hey there everyone

I just logged in to see that I joined this forum on November 7th, 2013. And darn, it's nearly been six years now.

I was eleven when I joined? Pretending to be fifteen? It's really bizarre to recall. I went through some of my old posts and I just... gosh, the internet is crazy. This forum alone stands as miniature archive that reflects on a relatively small but pretty important portion of my life. This is likely the case for a few other users on here as well who have hung around for a while (although lots of the ogs left ! i met some real ones on here tho ngl). I guess it's just funny to see your transition from a child to a teenager documented on a Club Penguin website.

The point of this post is basically to thank... the essence of this site, pretty much? And publicly revisit a period of my childhood with the intention to make some inspirational statement or whatever (in the most boring way possible as this post is nothing more than me rambling during the middle of the night).

I was quite the problematic kid when I found this place. I was arrogant, withdrawn, and ridiculously awkward with (literally) no friends whatsoever, so I'm glad to have met pals on here. There was so much going on in my life and being only on the brink of transitioning into a teen, I was too young to really understand what was happening, so I made a vicarious life through oldcp. I can vividly remember the gratification I got from sitting my ass down on the floor in the corner of my old living room and turning on my ancient laptop to type on Xat or whatever it was I did. I ended up spending the majority of my time on here in 2013-2015ish (which now in hindsight seemed to have been borderline unhealthy) but if sending in countless mod applications and reporting people for cursing in acronyms was how I coped as a kid, then that's how I coped.

I went from pretending to be a brit who loved Sherlock and Doctor Who to being That Typical Thirteen Year Old who teased and patronized others to feel better about myself. idk if y'all remember all the times I got banned or just generally prompted conflict but I'm honestly still shocked that I somehow found the time to do all of that. When I started middle school, oldcp went from being the place where I actually had friends and acted genuine (I mean, as genuine as I could be) to a platform for me to project all of my angst and frustration onto others. I've seen a few other people on here also do the same and I think one thing we've all gotta remind ourselves is that a lot of us were/are just kids on a penguin game occupying our free time. When you're on such a tight-knit website for a certain amount of time, you're going to act uncool at some point. But you're also going to hopefully mature, apologize, and move on.

Unfortunately my memory almost entirely gets cut off right around there. I don't remember much of middle school or my life from the ages of late twelve to early fifteen. It's all in gaps and none of those gaps involve oldcp. This was when I started spending more time on Instagram. I'm nearly positive that I continued to act as I had before - egotistical and angry and irritating and all that jazz. Then the forums got deleted.

I just wanted to make this post because 2013 was quite a while ago and so much has happened between November 7th, 2013 and November 3rd, 2019. I'm not necessarily in the greatest place right now, but I'm happy to be making this post on a platform that was once a considerably big part of my life.

I hope that all the new and/or younger users can have as much fun on here as I used to and keep in mind that this is a game. A game should be a positive experience that you enjoy, so pls don't stir stuff up on here or purposely make others feel bad. i can't even put into words how irrelevant everything that has ever upset you on here with the whole 'unfair bans' and 'treason' will be. if you're an emotionally disgruntled 14 year old like i was, learn to simply ENJOY YOUR TIME ON HERE!!! and on the internet/irl in general! i remember how pissed off this game used to make me and so i would go make posts attacking people and stuff ! You will have such a better time if you can let things go and be kind to others. Don't do the whole acting unnecessarily rude to make a statement thing like I did because that attitude converted into my day-to-day life and left me with a lot of regrets.

Sorry, this is super long and I'm really tired. I've got a lot of studying and stuff so I'm gonna probably head out of a few months again.

Chow.
