Remember when you first started, how you didn't know what to do and where to go. Talk about your pasts experiances here and lets see what you did to become who you are today.

A bunch of awesome guys helped me out right from my very first map. <3

I was dave_the_wave.

When i moved into races, my maps seemed to automatically get more attention. With a lot of guidence from people like calamity7 and ska I slowly improved - and as i did, my races got more and more attention until today. My action maps are still mostly unnoticed :/

With the help of peeps I became who I am today as a friend and a mapper.

i'm a natural for making complex things seem easy and also easly taking ideas and changing them so they arent copyrighting and making something new (my first was a dda and right after that an n-art), thats why none of my maps are simple

but my idols were pretty much kn03 and .....aw shit i cant remember the other art guy, its right at the tip of my tounge, damn it

No one liked me :D

Never actually spammed objects, except for 2 maps.
I was submitting maps often.
People loved me.

When i started? I was dejablue4. I made too many maps in too little a span of time. I was obsessed with contributing to the community. Yeah, obsessed. People like xdude, bluenin, and even McP helped me out with my early maps. I made friends with brttrx, demonz, shortshift, and cooby not long after. I multi-accounted. I got suspended. I asked for sweep to disable the deja account, and to be allowed back as midnightgetaway. Then life away from numa got a bit hectic. I took a break. Now I'm semi making maps again. Woo, my time here in a nutshell.

i spammed a lot on some of my maps........mainly cuz they were n-arts lol

but i was the loner but not the loner, i dislike colabs and did stuff myself (if you want something done right, do it yourself; if neighbor says hi to many times, shoot'm), but ppl still knew who i was

o yea and about my name.........yea........that was five years ago and i was retarded back then when i first joined, so i try to make it work (go by THT)

Pro tip: Learn grammar and spelling if you ever want to go anywhere in this community.

I wasn't great at first, and I didn't like action maps.

See how much I've changed?except I still suck with maps, nobody cares about my maps, and nobody helps me improve my maps

YOU GUYS JOINED EIGHT DAYS AGO. "THOSE DAYS" ARE STILL "THIS MONTH."

It may appear that I do not know how to write but I do. I'm laid back in forums, I don't proof read most of my posts so they will obviously have errors. When the time comes where I need to check what I write like a college or highschool exam, I will proof read my statements like I'm doing now. Although I may appear to be illiterate, I do have a clue what I'm doing. (Yes the conclusion is redundant but to finish off a persuasive essay, no matter the length, you need to restate the thesis to review what you have written.)

That is how every one of your posts should be. Like gloomp said, use proper spelling and grammar and you'll be taken seriously.

After that post, I noticed that I'm writing like I do in school now for all my new posts so I guess I should thank Gloomp for this. Laugh out loud (I guess that's being too literal lol =P)

Hey! You're welcome! I'm always happy to see my opinion of someone change for the better. See, now I think you're a cool guy.

By the way, I find typing out varying amounts laughter a much better way of conveying how funny I find something. It's quick, looks good, and is expressive! It's a win-win-win!

So school did have a purpose in life. XD

You really should type correctly, if it annoys you or if it doesn't. When I, or someone else, reads a post like the ones you wrote, you're automatically not taken seriously.

Trust me.

EDIT: Read the posts in between these two.

I'm an old user, but when you take a two year break from the community, you lose a lot of those skills. I'm getting back to the top but I still have to work out the kinks.

I am expressing my dislike of this topic. Forget grammar; something that will make me (and everyone else) "respect" you more is a lack of boring, badly-thought-out threads.

Note my use of beautiful grammarz.

On his NUMA profile there's one 'oftenly', too. o_O

I highly doubt that.
You minus two years would put you at, what, seven years old?
