So, it's been a year since I joined this forum. A day before pothead day, and the same day I named myself "BAN ME PLEASE".

So...where do I begin?

One year ago I was a total noob. That is to be expected. I did not know the community, but yet I lurked a month ahead of time to understand the rights and wrongs here (I joined back when Mega_Moron was tabbed on the top of the board) and yet I still made mistakes here and there. I was noobstamped, I attentioned whored, and I remained active.

At first I respected Something Awful's rules, and months later, I joined the SA forums. This includes shitposting in certain areas, in which I still do here from time to time so long as it is hilarious to read or if I am making a point.

So back to my original name. It was pretty laughable by the super members of this forum at the time. I still remember the famous quote "It's like he never shot his gun" or something like that. I was immediately banned, IM'd Xkeeper, and was unbanned. Though he thought it was unfunny, I decided to change my name through a voting contest.

Firephoenix's suggestion won the vote "Bitmap"

And thus my posting career began. I later mentioned that I was a heavy drinker, and a hardcore gamer. Why not combine the two together? I then created a thread in which evolved into me playing Super Metroid for the SNES for the first time in my life. While hilariously drunk (Although the youtube videos never shown me play this game from start to finish, the folks on skype knew what was up. And cheers to everyone who was there!) I finished the game, and I loved it.

Later on, I did other projects, some failed, and some incomplete. But yet I still remain as a good standing member (I hope) to the Jul community.

Eventually, I became moderator of the forums, I mainly take charge of the gaming forum, but I still enjoy keeping track of the hacking forums to keep the morons in check.

And let's not forget that one forum that everyone loves: i love u guyz 2

I have been through good and bad times here. But I regret nothing. I love being here, more so than any other board I have ever been a part of. Mainly for the friends I have made here. I have talked to just about everyone here and enjoyed talking to you guys. Everyone, cheers!

Here is to another great year at Jul! Keep on Gaming!

E- PS, I am amazingly drunk right now. How was I able to type this? Absolute skill
