No, I just started out in the wrong forum and without enough understanding about how the things worked there. Originally, I came from the SWG forum and stumbled into the Asylum, looking for off-topic forums. The OOT forum was quite dead back then, so I stuck around in the Asylum, even after they burned me pretty bad. I wasn't used to the sarcastic behavior, so I was pretty quick to take the flame bait, which only increased the flaming, of course.
It all ended in a mess, with me ultimately asking an admin to delete my old username as I created Mazra and moved to the WoW forums. Later on, I had the same admin transfer my post count over to this username, but not until I had gained and lost Sage. I believe it was during the great +1 of the OOT, where certain people were spamming journals and ding threads, culminating in post penalties and karma rollbacks. Good times.
I had some, um, stability issues around that time as well. Personal loss that turned me quite emotional. In the end I sorted it out and became the boy wonder you know today.
Edit: Wish I could go back to the OOT, but there are too many new people, too many new puns and memes. The OOT has morphed something fierce since I started posting there. From the 'one post a week' dead forum to the 'three pages a day' +1/CJ mess, to the 'Asylum v2' it is now. The Asylum and the OOT has pretty much switched places, except the Asylum is now about politics more than anything.
I'm sure the WoW forums have changed as well, but it doesn't feel like it. Probably why I've stuck around.
