Post your First Post!

I've tried this out on other forums in the past, and the result is quite interesting - particularly as first posts frequently come out noobish, often unintentionally :mrgreen:. (*is hoping this isn't one of those annoying forums that starts wiping out older posts from the 'view my posts' screen after 1000 posts or something, but doubts it*)

Now for the uninteresting bit, my first post! Considering I joined around this time last year (27th of December to be precise), there shouldn't be too much of a difference in posting style (I hope). Also, I'm most of the regulars on here would probably remember this ;)

Yes I know, don't laugh :P. Not too keen on the later Rayman games though (That is Rayman 2 onwards) - sorry about that. You may have (probably not) heard of me under the other names of 'Cuddlesnowy' and 'bekyjewell' on various websites... yes it was me that made that silly Rayman Origins animation on Youtube :mrgreen:. My interests include generally being creative in the forms of writing, drawing and animating. I hope I can bring something to the forums.

Still no idea how I was able to get away with the username 'Electoon'....
And yes, I still have no idea how I was able to get away with the username 'Electoon' :mrgreen:

Now it's your turn!

That's ugly compared to the original Dark Rayman

BTW, Rayman Advance came out BEFORE Rayman Arena and Rayman M. that was the first place he was mentioned to be Dark Rayman.
I guess it's not so bad, especially when you compare it with these posts made around the same time:

You sound very well informed :bad:
Hellz maybe, but I can assure you I'm not queer. :mryellow:
That's obvious.
Rofl. :P

What's "MyRSS" on the left side on the front Portal page?

I like how your first post isn't 'hi I'm new here' and is just straight into a discussion about Dark Rayman :D

I swear I've been calling him that all my life, before Rayman Advance even existed :shock:

Haha, the "I'm new here" things were my 2008 and prior habits; I was far worse back then.

My cousin in Germany actually knew someone at Digital Eclipse, and I somehow received Rayman Advance months before I was released. Don't ask me how, because I was five.

I did too, and what with Origins calling him DarkRay, I'm confused.
Also
I believe my first post was in reply to one of yours:

Odd, I remember my Maths teacher saying something about TV Party back when I was in Year 8

I used to be Crazy about Rayman back in my primary school days, I was also obsessed with technology, I.T was my favourite lesson, whenever we did Spreadsheets, I used to do them on Rayman Characters and their powers.

Nowadays, though, I can only talk about Rayman with some of my friends, those who liked platformers from the 90's like Crash, I remember talking to a "Cod-a-holic" once about Rayman, he said the games were rubbish, he said he'd played the first game and it was easy, I asked him how far he played, he said, until the third part of the forest area. I guarantee if he played Bongo Hills he would have destroyed his TV

Master, you've only joined on the twenty-first of August this year?

I swear you've been around since at least the beginning of Summer.

Well, we did first meet on YouTube, though that was probably much earlier since I've been on YouTube for a whole year.

And, if my presence here has given such an illusion of the length of time I have spent here, then clearly something is up.

It's because even though you only joined a few months ago, you were never truly new.

A loooooong time ago I wrote:Well I've registred myself here (By friends askings) for a quite time ago but finnally I will try to get as active as possible. XD

OK here we go :D, I'm Haruka, I'm 16 years old and I live in Portugal.
My hobbies are playing videogames, drawing, watching Cartoons/Animes, listening to music, etc.
I'm a Rayman addicted since I met him (9 years ago but the story was wierd XD) and today I still am. :wink:
I also want to congratulate the RayTunes and RayWiki team for their amazing jobs on both projects and I hope to have a good relationship with everybody in the forum and who knows, doing new friends. ^_^
I see some typos here, my English did improved in these last years. :lol:

I love Rayman Multiplayer, but i haven't played Arena...

But i know one thing: Dark Rayman IS PLAYABLE, he is a skin for Rayman. And Dark Globox is character, not skin for Globox. Well, i wonder how Dark Rayman is looking! Does anybody have a screen with him?
If the younger version of me was a member here, I would kill him for his grammatical mistakes. And ffs he didn't capitalise 'I'.

I would write my presentation differently in terms of grammar and phrase construction if I was about to rewrite it, but anyway.

Yes, it's been a while since he said that, but I just had to say something.
By the way, I'm sort of new here, so I don't know what's going on..... :fou2:
Are you aware that you just quoted and responded to a five-year-old post? In other words, a post which is half your age?
The me two years ago was an idiot.

That's younger then I was when I first joined a forum (I was 11), and the post seemed a lot less noobish then some of mine, so don't worry ;)
