The feels of having remembering when you thought TIF was only going to be a place to talk about runescape and nothing else... I joined 8 years ago...so that would make me a sophomore in high school. Thinking about those days makes me want to cry. I was not informed about a lot of things going on, I was very secluded (not very open about myself) and knew very little about how to communicate with others. I started here only talking about runescape and nothing else...then I ventured into the forum games...then went into Off-topic (especially the music and video games sections). Over those few years I learned how to better communicate not only on a computer but in person as well. Won't say TIF was a MAJOR contributor to me maturing but it did help some. I made some friends on runescape who I've maintained friendships at least in game and will stay like that until I quit forever or runescape dies. I also made a few friends who I would add later on social networking sites (however most have either left Facebook or made new ones and have not/will not add me). It's interesting to think what I would be like without runescape and TIF. Prior to all of this I was very quiet...and so conscious about me and what others thought of me I rarely got out my my shell. Now for the most part I wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm very open and happy with who I am. The memories TIF and runescape hold will stay with me forever. Maybe it's had a bigger impact on my life then I give it credit. Only time will tell.
