It's been nearly seven years since I saw my brother sign up for this odd website unknown to me called DSiPaint.com. Me being 11 I wanted to do what my brother did but at the time didn't have a DSi, all I had was a PsP that you couldn't confirm emails with. Sad that day I begged and begged to my mother to let me borrow her laptop to confirm my email, she reluctantly let me and that's how it all began, besides getting my own DSi that Christmas.

Enough of the boring how I got here, more of my experience of these 7 years. Met amazing people, broke the rules and got banned, even made one of those threads in all caps proclaiming I was wrongly banned and that the mods were abusing their power all to have WaffleKing share it in the chatrooms and have people come over to laugh at me, quickly deleted it and cleaned up my act a little bit. I had the pleasure to be friends will HullBreach before the site started declining in members and he couldn't keep up with his friend list, funny enough he sent me the friend request ;P

Remembering the day I found out mods can see private chats in chat rooms, that day was so embarrassing and humiliating to see on the ban list. Made alt accounts to use different browsers with so I could still talk without them knowing the main account I was banned on, or the days my brother would get banned and not tell me only to get an 8 hour ban. Just so much more memories packed into nearly 7 years.

I want to thank HullBreach for creating this amazing site and to my brother for introducing this to me even if by accident. I want to thank the community that still gets on here occasionally to mail a friend or write a blog for keeping the site alive so memories live on and can be looked back upon. It's sad to say that the community is not what it once was, that you can't stay up hours upon hours chatting in chat rooms with different people every few minutes coming in.

Thank you, paint, it was a hell of a ride and amazing memories shall forever live on.
