I deleted my page, but the memories still haunt me. I was really active and cringy on the DA forums. I think it got so bad I won the 'blandest forum user's award 1 year. I have memories of a time when a troll would spam pictures of a dog sucking some guys dicks, but when they were banned make a new account. I also have memories of this forum user having an adiction to the forums? Like he set up multiple site blockers, but he still couldn't stop visiting it. Everyone told him to get therapy. Next up was a bipolar guy who refused to take his meds and he posted about how he had experiences with God every few days. Their was this /beg/ tier artist who wanted to make an offensive comic and went to art college. One forum user was a lawyer who quit their law degree for reasons. Oh god its all coming back. It's like unearthing a bunch of trama

Dude this looked like shit back then too. The wildest part is people still draw like this today, I have no idea how they learn it either. Intentionally avoiding drawing anything they see or want to copy but tumblr/da "art".
