Well it's near the end of the year, why not look back on all the things that have happened on TBT this year!
Just post whatever it is that really stuck out to you this year idk where to put this lmfao
I took a break from TBT sometime last year and didn't come back until June so the only thing that sticks out to me is that and all the political threads.
Me being here... IDK, like everything here repeats so I can't think of anything notable. Except me not being able to stop coming on. WHY DO I PERSIST? WHAT IS THERE FOR ME HERE?
This place has been so important to me this year. When Bowie died in January, I remember receiving 40+ visitor messages from people I didn't even know at all, telling me the bad news, and I got so much support, when I honestly had nobody to talk to about it, and I'd probably be super depressed about it even now if it weren't for that support. Everyone knew how much I loved him, and that acknowledgement just meant the world to me. So, I'm really thankful for that.
Aside from that, I remember somebody getting bullied here for a thread they made, and my post about the "I'm a Sensitive Person, Give me Special Treatment" committee is something I seem to be known for now, and I've seen a lot of people copy and paste that same post a number of times. Makes me wonder how it got circling around in the first place.
But, yeah. This year has been awful for me, but it's great that I've had this place to come to. Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention that I won third place in The Fair's Smash tournament, which I'm still really happy about. I tried playing again recently and just can't pick it up (probably because I've been playing Bayonetta for weeks and got used to the controls), so I doubt I'll ever win again!
It's been an eventful year in real life, not so much on here as I'm not very social. However, I did enjoy participating in the events that took place so that's definitely something to look back on.
The significant event that stands out to me the most this year is adopting our first puppy which has turned out to be a huge success. We welcomed her with open arms and she made herself at home within the first week of getting her! It's not easy having the responsibility of owning a puppy and we're still learning new things along the way.
Another event that knocked my self confidence this year was when I fell ill a couple of months ago, I'm currently on the mend and am hoping by this time next year I will be back to my normal self again.
It's crazy how much can happen in a year, I could type an entire book. I have so many ambitions for next year!
It has been a very eventful year for me but its nice to come here and talk to all the kind people here.
The whole thing about Starrywolf/Liamslash ruining the Halloween event was very dramatic, but the mods taken care of it very gracefully. Its still sad that people go out of the way to do stuff like that.
I have loved this year despite all the horrible stuff that has happened. But what can we do?
Merry Christmas and have a happy new year everyone!
I came back after being inactive during the first half of this year I came back for some Pok?mon since I got back into it and boy I'm glad I came back. When I came back most of my friends on here were inactive but I made some new ones. I also got the chance of joining Hylian Community of Discord so that was a blast. I also got a Pikachu egg which was one of my goals to get, so its been a pretty successful year
Same, but it just shows you've matured/changed for the better in the past year, which is a positive way to think about it.. or maybe I'm trying too hard to justify my past cringiness.. lol
I've been gone from TBT for most of the year so I have no idea what things have gone, but I hope it wasn't bad lol
The flame wars were pretty funny (it was basically people getting mad and exaggerating just because they wanted to bully and antagonize someone for having a different opinion).
I met Teabagel aka Neikko (her spider and bird obsession is everything) and of course Shinx, Licorice, Nanako, Sheila, epoch (who I met recently) and I met Miele once again for the first time in forever. This may be hard to believe but my internet friends make me happy when I'm down so thank you. <3
I got banned, which was way overdue! Like come on, I'm the worst.
I took a break for a while and stuff went down, (Apparently) so I'm sad I missed that.
I couldn't make a thread without someone saying "why do you make so many threads", because I'm interested in the topic, duh!
I had to deal with people commenting on almost everything I said to make me look like an idiot or a bad person just because they didn't like me and those exact people would jump into an argument I would've had with someone else just because they wanted to put me down too. So that was fun.
Overall, this year has been good for the first few months and trash for the last few because of people who couldn't handle my opinions or wanted to demonize me and its been good because I've met amazing people who can have a chat without arguing.
Irl this year has been crap for me, but despite all of the drama and what not that's happened on the site, this has been a great year on TBT for me. Although, back when I signed up last year, I went on a long hiatus shortly after joining. (LOL) This year was really like my first year here, even though I made my account back in 2015.
