I have discovered the site back when a certain /pol/tard decided to shoot up a mosque in New Zealand, and since then I was lurking until Null hid the entirety of the off-topic board to improve the site's SEO back when that was even a possibility because it didn't get delisted by Google yet, as then I've made this account for the sake of further lurking, with a shitty gimmick as the alter-ego name idea.
But I ended up starting posting, engaging with the community, and now I feel like all of it helped me to grow as a person, to not take things seriously and don't let words get under my skin, and learn how to laugh at everything. I'm really happy it managed to pull through all this despite the odds being so against us, and here's hoping that it will pull through another decade without any major issues.
