I think mine was, the first time I joined BYOND, found a DW game, DWO.
Being a newbie, I walked into the pub, and asked someone named Bob, and also asked towncobble to join my party...

Also; some of my first forum posts were quite... disturbing. (This being the first online community I had joined.)

That's not very embarassing.

Mine is much worse. At one point, after I had been coding BYOND for quite some time, I stopped for a break. When I came back, a few months later, I started coding again, and did an extremely stupid error of not putting () after a proc/verb(Forget Which) And couldn't find out why, and posted about it on the forums. Now, THAT'S embarrising, and when I was told it, I was like OMFG I'm a n00b again >_>

That's not bad. I occasionally forget to put the parenthesis after functions. I also sometimes forget to use the proc keyword before new functions.

When I first started, I had some bugs I tried for hours to fix and posted asking for help, only to have people point out that my problem was caused by a typo. Similar problem.

But then, Argh..

I think I might actually have the code for that one still around... Maybe I should respond to the old post with it. :P

YOU LITTLE ZETA RIPPER! LMAO

Just kidding. Nothing to be ashamed of, I guess. I hear is the mainstream thing to do on BYOND. <_<

When I first hit BYOND (late times of BYOND dimes), I went into Icon Ultima and was shouting "Anyone wanna trade icons for a dime? I really need one." but in what you guys would call leetspeak now (though it wasn't on purpose then). Mobius being so nice, gave me one. I used that to buy an icon pack of (get this) nothing. It was supposed to have a lot of icons and it had nothing.

I contacted the owner of that hub entry and we became freinds and he gave me some mainstreamed icons to reimburse me for my loss (he wanted the dime, xD). I even gave him GM in my icon game's reformation, but we've lost contact because I can't use the BYOND pager and he has no chatting clients, and y'know, I don't have that icon game anymore.

Heh, look at my first 50+ posts, you will probably not stop laughing for a week or so. I have actually gone back and edited some of the more embarassing ones. I think my most embarassing post was when I used the word "gay" as a general term for bad. Man, lexy had a fit over that, and I made the mistake of trying to defend myself over it. Rule #1 of BYOND: "Thou shalt not go against the will of Lexy". Not saying I wasn't wrong or anything, she was completely right.

Well i was pretty new at the time and i had met a new friend called Digitalmouse. A year later i was confronted by old angry Grathor who denied to help a problem i had because of something i didnt know about(long forgotten convo that made me look retarded). http://games.byond.com/forum/ index.cgi?action=message_read&id=149400&forum=7&view=1
I look back at that it doesnt even seem funny anymore just stupid but still no matter how young i was, Digitalmouse who instead of being a man and telling me it was wrong went behind my back and opened up huge a 2 paged thread.

Anyway it would be either that. Or one of the many times i was caught ezing in zeta.

That should start you at the begining. I simply told it to start=1 and it went to my earliest page in the search.
