Hello again, my apologies.

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Hello again, my apologies.

Post by LeonBlade »

Hello everyone,

If you don't remember me, this post really isn't for you.
This is for those that I have offended and have been looked down by in the past for my previous actions on this forum.

Please note in advanced if you find this post useless, which will most likely be the case, I apologize in advanced but I felt that I should try to make up for my actions months prior on this forum.

Some of you may remember me back a long time ago in late 2009 or so.
I made comments that were racist, stupid, ignorant, and morally wrong in all ways.

After getting back into game development after a long time of doing other projects, I looked back at GyroVorbis videos and remember these forums. I saw it as a small community of people which I could hope to be a part of, however I made a poor choice on my behalf to make stupid, rude and inappropriate comments/remarks towards a certain member of the JForce team, saying that "it's okay because it's JForce so who cares" and "it's alright, Elysian Shadows is in Alabama so it doesn't even matter".

I was also ignorant enough to begin with before learning more about GyroVorbis/Elysian Shadows to blindly side with JForce in the beginning over stupid points and claims such as "XNA is better because it does 3D" and things like that. While I learned from my mistakes back then, members from this forum caught on to that and it was another poor decision I made before, another ignorant judgment on my behalf.

After making the first comments about one of the JForce members I was quickly rejected by many of you that are on this site, and I then brought drama and a bunch of other bull shit that I look at now and truly face-palm at my stupidity and ignorance that I once had posting on these forums. I am very disappointed in myself and what I had said in the past and I felt awful for saying such things and being so ignorant.

The whole point of this post is to basically apologize for my previous actions on this board, and I hope that you can understand and maybe accept me back into your community. I have changed a lot in the months I have been gone, and I feel that even if I'm not accepted back into this community, either way I still wanted to make this for all to see because I was truly disappointed and disgusted at what I had written only months prior to today.

Thank you for reading.
If you have something to say, feel free to tell me. Just know that I've changed a lot and I can understand if most of you if not all of you still may not like me, I can completely understand that.

If you wish to see what my previous comments where, check in the "posts you should not have made" section and look for yourself.
Just know that I'm not the same person I was then, it's best that you don't look, I would delete them now if I could.

And again, thank you.
Sorry for wasting your time.

I saw your old post and I thought, what a prick, but after seeing this post I can see that your not like that.

You will not remember me because I'm new to this forum but I hope to see more posts by you in the future.

Well I'm not that new to the forums. I had a previous account but I, like you, would rather forget about the past.

Oh and no more N words! :lol:

Personally, apology or not, I think that if you would like to come back here and make a meaningful contribution to these forums, then by all means you should feel free to do so.

Although what you said (and did) previously was some of the biggest and most arrogant douche-baggery that we have yet to see on these boards, it's perfectly fine that you're back.

Welcome back. I see that you have definitely changed, as your posts seem much more sincere and less full of shit. :)

No hard feelings.

Yup, it's like a virtual fraternity, but w/o the awkward initiation...
