*clears throat* I've been coming to GameSpot.com since I was in 5th Grade, and that was in the year 2002 I believe so. That was when I had AOL Dial Up (I tremble when I hear that word). I came across a Banjo-Kazooie forum on Google. I kinda went off topic talking about Dragon Ball Z. Ok, well, I stopped having Internet until the Year 2005 I bought a HP with MSN Dial Up (I later got Adelphia Cable). Back in May 2005, my friend Rooster told me to go to GameSpot (I forgot all about it) and post in this forum titled "WarZone" and join this group that him and Appalo made called GTA Legends. From there on it was an ok run until more and more people started joining this website. More Unions were created and more and more members were prospering. GameSpot was in its prime until "The Dark Ages." This was right after I made my second account (which is the one I'm using right now). GameSpot was making this new design thingy. Some people didnt like, I dont really care though. The Unions were finally working around the start of November. And thats when everything really changed.

People here are really concerned about "being the best" and "having the highest union level". You know what! I have news for you. Its just a god forsaken website, get the F*** over it! No one in the friggin world cares about how high your union level is or how many posts you got. Its not like your getting money out of it. GameSpot has you so glued to the screen of your monitor, sucking up all your little minds into making your #1 goal for life "get the most posts on GameSpot.com". "Who gives a crap about all the F's I have in high school or if I get 2$ an hour at McDonalds, I have 999999 posts on GameSpot.com!" Another thing, GameSpot is about GAMES. I see really desperate people trying to score more post counts in really ridiculous threads like "say something about the user above you" and other crap like that. GameSpot.com was never like this before. There was more friendlier people who had more on there mind then posts. So stop sending me friggin PM's to post in your union, I really dont give a damn. Get a friggin Girlfriend or something. And for all you people who want one measly post on there damn union board, good luck with your life goals and adios.

PS: I wont be posting much lately and I don't care how many emblems you have.
