When I first joined, I did nothing for a month then came back in January. I was serious by then.
In 2006, I joined my first site. I posted random threads on the forums, sent people random messages... what more can I say. I wasn't serious at all. Then I quit that site because it got boring.
I wondered how you got a line through your name cause someone else did, and I thought it was cool. So I asked, and the admin said 'do you want to find out?' I said "sure" and I got banned. xD
Don't argue with idiots because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
