My hair is fuzzy. I don't think you understand, my hair is freaking standing up on its end right now, and I have very long hair. I have been growing my hair since 2009, about six months before I joined this site.
One day, I was looking for a way to play YouTube videos on my DSi, and I came across an old site called the Shoutbox. Well, I was a noob back then, and I got myself banned. So I became angry, so I went on the little affiliate link section of the little Shoutbox site, lo and behold, I found DSiPaint. I joined, and at first, I didn't care for the design (Sorry HullBreach, I was a noob). Well, eventually, I warmed up to it quite well, made a few paintings, and then went on the chatroom. It was much like it was now, once in a while, a few people on once in a while.
I didn't like my old username, named after a song by Pink Floyd, so I found HullBreach, and pm'd him a request to change my username. Surprisingly, he responded almost immediately, and he changed it to another Pink Floyd song, thus beginning a new friendship.
One time, I got banned, and so I bugged HullBreach about it (okay, maybe this was when the friendship started), but I never got unbanned. Instead, he just gave me advice.
I had one more name change, I bugged HullBreach once again, and he changed it, but this time, not another Pink Floyd song. He changed it to the name I still don to this day.
Fast forward to my admin days, one by one, I kept getting admin powers. First Paint (as a mistake), then Gameshow Host (corrected mistake, but I got to keep the Paint), then Bulletin Board. By then, other admins started becoming apprehensive about my fast-growing rise to power, and because I did let that power get to my head a little. I made an embarrassment to myself a few times. Okay, a lot of times.
One day, I got the Blogs, and finally, Chatroom moderator. I was still having some indifferences with the other admins, namely because I kept defending a fellow member whose name I shall not reveal. A number of times, over and over again, I kept defending her. In the end, she kept disappointing me. I don't talk to her anymore. Never stood up for anybody again.
Finally, months later, after losing each admin ability at least twice, and rising again to power, I earned the Terminator status. That was the last admin power I received a promotion to.
Overlords were starting to become promoted, so as to help the Gump family as they were growing. A few trusted people got promoted to this honor, and I was next in line. I was so close. Until I screwed up.
At first, it was going to be a cover-up. It wasn't a crime too bad, but still shameful, and against admin rules. But I ended up coming clean out of guilt, and both parties involved (this is me included) ended up getting stripped of admin rights. Then it happened again, on a larger scale. It seemed the whole website turned against me. Everybody was angry, even HullBreach. I would've been angry at myself too. I was angry at myself. That was the day I was removed from the site indefinitely.
HullBreach eventually forgave me, and roughly a year later, I was brought back. But two days later, gone again for starting a fight.
Almost two years go by, and I was brought back yet again, but I still didn't feel welcomed back, so I stayed hidden and lurked a lot. It has only been a few days since I have truly returned. And I feel welcomed. I feel like I have started fresh, and that I might have a second chance here.
But there is one person on this entire site, only one, who has been there since the beginning, who has seen the worst side of me, and still hasn't given up on me (at least I hope so). I am not one for sappy messages like this one, but I feel it is time to acknowledge him as a true friend, even though we have one of those strict business types of friendship.
HullBreach, thank you for being there. I have annoyed you, betrayed you, more than likely drove you up the wall multiple times, perhaps even insulted you a time or two, and quite honestly, I do not deserve to have you as a part of my life. You could have left anytime. You could have ended all contact with me, and never talk to me again. But you didn't. And for that, I am eternally grateful. I have grown up the past few years, and I still have a long ways to go.
Why did I stick my finger in the outlet, you ask? So I could come to this shocking revelation.
Hitlerspex, I really wanted to keep your comment on display. But you are an ass. So I deleted it.

Gonna be honest with you, man.
Was going through my old mail when I came upon a message from IronShadow with a text from Crym explaining what had happened in 2012. The text is exactly what I just posted, copy and pasted. So really that comment wasn't even my words, it was hers. I just found it fitting to post here. Glad to see you still haven't changed at all.

There is a way to get /banall reasons from accounts. So I highly doubted you were just strolling along memory lane and just so happen to find my ban reason. No, you're just an ass. You were an ass before, you are still an ass now, and I would very much like for you to leave me alone.

I mean, i'll give you my login credentials if you want to see for yourself. You think I would remember /banall? You give me more credit than I deserve, dude. I haven't logged in for years, came across this blog post after being bored and deciding to check if this site was dead yet, saw you were still here, decided to log in and look through all my mail, and happened to come across it. I don't have beef with you but I see you still have beef with me. But i'll respect you and leave you alone, I didn't come back just to mess with you, guy. But I can understand why you would think that way and would want me to shut up.
But yeah, its in my mail if you want to look. I have nothing to lose by giving out my password.

Also, he was the first and only Black admin or Blackmin. As in, his admin chat color was bold black like this in the chat roster when everyone else was all kinds of colors.

Ah now I remember what you're talking about, back when your name was a different color depending what admin powers your had :/ I had forgotten about that

That was an idea to hide my promotions, since in those times, your name go ta different color for every number of admin powers you had, like a rank. Every time I got promoted, I did not hear the end of it from other admins.
