It's time I finally vent this to you.

Master1.0.

That's what I've always gone by on the Runouw forums, but we all have our stories to our names. Sometimes it has to do with our lives, or just because it sounds cool in your head. To me, it had always felt like a disguise or perhaps just something we want to live to be. In my case, it was a cover up.

Back in.... I believe 2010? I joined the forums. But it was not as Master1.0 I joined as. Do you remember a person that went by the name bowzuh? The kid that had no idea how to even post a topic; who spent his time just talking in the chat and having fun? That was all me. 3 entire years ago, and still counting. I was 11 years old. 11. And by that time I had not fully matured to be a person that knew what the ♥♥♥♥ he was doing.

And why was that account banned you may ask? I think it's on page 11 on the ban thread that says I had "Openly admitted to have reregistered."

That rereg actually wasn't a rereg. Blue714 was banned for repeatedly posting really ♥♥♥♥ levels on the old portal, back when you could post the best damn thing you ever made and only get a 2-Star rating for abusing every glitch you could to make something beautiful. And before I had originally made the account "bowzah," I saw him post a level. And in the description, the dumbass posted his username and password for the forums RIGHT THERE in the level description box. I saw it as the perfect opportunity to post my first level, because back then I was too scared to make an account. Later I deleted that level because I felt guilty.

About 3 weeks later, I made that same account. "Bowzuh."

And then I talked, I spoke to the people of the forums only through the chat. I made friends, had fun.

And then I made the stupid mistake as logging in with Blue714. I said in the damn chat I was bowzuh. And that there was my ban. 3 and a half years ago.

But once I was banned, I began to miss the forums. It was a month later that I began this same account. And people LIKED me. I was no longer that noob who couldn't figure out how to make a post, but nobody said my first few posts didn't make me look like some idiot 12 year old. I began starting sentences with capital letters instead of being lazy. I used punctuation. And not a single time in those 3 years had I been convicted as a rereg.

...Well, not exactly.

I had told a friend about the forums as well. The account I believe was called "KillKing" or something along the lines of that. And when he made his account I was in the room, and he asked what a good password would be. Being a little control freak, I kept his password just in case. It was maybe a few weeks later I got banned for a week. Postcounting, something minor that I should have just waited to come back from. AND GUESS WHAT I DID WITH THAT FRIEND'S ACCOUNT. That's right! I used his damn account because I wanted to come back! Of course, I had done the first few posts of THAT account, and got a 2 week ban for reregistering. I really did feel bad, for myself and for the friend who had been banned. Blablob had been the one to finally make me realize I was just being a jerk. I came back after those two weeks and started acting less like a prick.

I've had my fair share of warnings; my fair share of stupid moments, rants, and little things that just ended up being pointless. But I've made friends, and the people here feel almost like family to me. I may not be nearly as active anymore, but I've loved every last moment of my makeshift career. I've made levels like I always wanted to do, I played games with everyone, and lately I've kind disappeared from the forums, only making a single post every once in awhile on the Minecraft section.

If you want to ban me, do so.

I just wanted everyone to know this, and I've been thinking this through for at least a couple months before I finally came up with what to say. I just want everyone to know I'm sorry, and that I've still learned from the experience, good and bad.

I read everything and in all honesty none of this made me want you banned.

I'm in the same boat really. I'm a re-reg as well, but look where it got me. Relax, man, the rules aren't absolutely final, and exceptions can be made.

I think the summary of all replies here is roughly "no-one really cares, dude, carry on"

Hey, you could have done a lot worse. Reregs don't make the forum look bad unlike spamming, flaming, arguments and other breaking of rules. You've only broke a rule - 3 years ago to be precise. Considering how much of an impact you've made to the forums, no one sane is going to say 'ban him'.

I don't know if it's just me, but I've seen these little "confession" topics popping up more and more lately. Everyone has had (more or less) the same reaction. Sure, it sometimes feels good to come clean and just get it all out, but why do it when you know what the reaction is going to be? Almost seems more like a cry for attention more than anything. Just an observation.

So what, carry on, we still love you, etc etc

I didn't say I was leaving you guys, I really just wanted to get that out after 3 years of feeling guilty. But I was completely prepared if that were the case.

You know I still love everyone here like brothers, but I'm glad to hear everyone accepts that.

♥♥♥♥ man, if you got banned for something three years ago, a lot of us should be banned too. How many people do we know as friends on this site today that were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? How many were dickheads and broke the rules so much, they almost lost their posting rights? ♥♥♥♥, if you got banned for rereging years back, then people we see post today need to be banned for whatever dirty secrets we hide. How many times have I socialized with the site you all said not to go on? Plenty...and have I ever mentioned to them what goes on on the site? Yep. They don't care, but I feel nervous and anxious as ♥♥♥♥ doing so, because I feel like I broke a commandment.

And then I helped Linkdroid rereg to get around his permaban. Dear god, I was paranoid as hell because of that. I was practically committing treason...but he was allowed to stay regardless. Because you guys didn't give a damn about the past.

So why fret, Master? It's not like you did anything bad. Aside from making a new account...twice....that's like stealing a cookie.

Tl;dr BAD MASTER BAD GO TO YOUR ROOM WE'RE BANNING YOUR ♥♥♥ RIGHT NOW MISTER D<

Tl;drnsrsns It's no big deal. You're fine. Throw away the guilt.

As many people have already said, it isn't a big deal. Quite a few forum regulars have done worse things and are still here after having become a contributing member of Runouw - and you certainly meet those criteria.
