Anyone cringe when they see their old comments or is it just me?

Nope. Everything I post is pure gold.
That's because your cringe posts got lost in Eternal September, didn't it. Also, you started posting here THIS YEAR.
Most of my old posts here are mostly me learning the games and making remarks to that effect.
Edit: Also, welcome back qwerty.
If you don't look back and cringe a bit you haven't grown.
Eh, most of my comments are either jokes or biting sarcasm, so it doesn't really bother me.
To be fair I cringe at everything I do 
but I mostly lurk, and post when the mood strikes me, so I'm none too bothered

I was mostly just a lurker back then never really posting but more just reading the shit other people posted
honestly I think the most cringe worthy comment i made was when i got ovir and ovipositor mixed up
yeah I felt like a right walley after that I can tell you
Luckily all of my true cringeposting was contained to battle.net and forums that have been erased by the passage of time. When I was 10 I would go online and play starcraft and speak in all caps to make sure people noticed what I said. Kids are morons

I'm surprised that you don't come back at me for KNOWING what Eternal September is.

That's a small mistake, but it's good to know when you done goofed.
I'd cringe at my own posts but then I read some of things posted in the Other Adult Games subforum and then I suddenly feel better.
I was ashamed of myself when I read back my posts under a different alias. Thank god the old Forums got deleted. At least now I'm a better person and have matured a bit since then but I agree that seeing the old comments I've made have really made me cringe very hard. I usually think, "wow, I was an asshole and very petty over trivial shit." Now my perception is different and have better grasp over most of my actions, still need to work on my aggression and anxiety episodes. There are times where I feel I want to post something but then remembered how I was reading my old comments and realize: I don't wanna go back to being that guy again. So I delete those comments and posts.
I believe those old comments serve as a reminder that there is a consequence for our actions. Good and Bad. So in essence, they should stay as they are to keep ourselves in check. You never know when those posts will come back to bite you in the ass. Lest we forget, the rules have changed since the old forums, some things carry more punishment to prevent such kinds of old comments and habits from returning to the new forums. I can appreciate that.
I'm not nostalgic, but I do think we're better people from before we made those comments.

My existence is a continued state of looking back every five years and going "Why in God's name did I post that?"
I've been doing the forums thing since 2012 or earlier, and 99.9% of what I have said in the past, I would still stand by today.
