User blog:Legosuperheroesfan/Where I've been...
The following post is long and melodramatic. You have been warned
I haven't been contributing for nearly a year, and I kind of forgot about Brikipedia. While I have stayed a part of the community, I just haven't been active on this website, just getting my news elsewhere (thank you just2good!). This is because of several things:
1. I was blocked from accessing this website entirely for several months. Our home computer go a virus, and we installed a program that not only fixed it but kept me from accessing the website. I tried changing the preferences but nothing seemed to work. To this day, I still haven't been able to fix it, but I have a laptop now, and that's why I have contributed extremely rarely and brings me to my next point...
2. School. I am in High School now and I have little free time, which I generally use for my YouTube channel (In case you didn't know I am a Brickfilmer) and actually collecting the toys that we catalog here. I simply haven't had time.
This pretty much was an excuse to leave forever. So what's bringing me back?
Like I said, I am a Brickfilmer. Earlier today, I needed to get a stock picture of Mr. Freeze from google images, and stumbled across a blog post I did on the original wikia from way back in 2012, where I basically grasped for straws on the existence of a Mr. Freeze set in the LEGO Super Heroes theme. I saw all my old comments and petty arguments with a bunch of people (especially Berrybrick...) and I kind of felt guilty for all that I'd done. Like some of you probably assumed, I was an underage user at the time (I've been legally active for a while now, don't block me!) and I really lacked the maturity to coexist with all these people. Granted, it may have been the fact that I was and still am socially awkward, as I never intended any harm. I did my best to contribute productively, and I assume I at least sort of did, as I was promoted to Patroller. Either way, I was embarrassed of my behavior from back in the day and I didn't want the people who knew me to remember me that way. I'd like to think I can contribute effectively to Brickipedia now.
But am I actually back? I'm not really sure. Again, my interest in LEGO isn't dwindling anytime soon, no matter what my friends and even my parents will tell me. But with school starting up in a few weeks I likely will be in a similar situation to last year. I likely won't have too much time to edit, but I'd like to become somewhat more active than I have been. (I just checked my contributions and I've only edited twice this year :P) I'll try to log on a lot for the remainder of the summer, but I don't know what the future may bring.
What I'm basically trying to say is:
- 1. I'm not dead
- 2. I'm not going through my "dark age"/moved on
- 3. I apologize for the way I acted all those years, I was too young to understand what was required of me as an editor.
- 4. I'm going to try and become more active, but I can't make any promises.
