User blog:Opengangs/Time to come clean

Hi, guys!

This is probably going to be my last edit here. I was a pretty controversial member in 2013. October, 2013, specifically. I was 14 at the time that I was editing then, and I loved the community. I'm 17 now. This community felt like my second home, and I respected everyone as much as everyone respected me. To this day, I don't expect everyone to forgive me, or respect me the same way.

I would regularly join chat, and loved my time connecting with you all. Everyone was so kind to each other, and every person in the chat was funny in their own special way.

October, 2013 came around, and I remember being nominated for Penguin of the Month by Historicalcp. That was a pretty special thing for me. Though that was not the only time I was nominated for POTM, I was leading in that month. It showed that people appreciated my work in the wikia. Half way through the month, and I was leading by four votes. And there, I guess I felt impatient, and my 14 year old self got the better of me. With a few of my sockpuppet accounts, I faked my death to get sympathy, and the result don't bode well with the community. I got hated on, and my POTM title was stripped that month.

I was even given another chance, for if I admit to my mistake, I would be let off lightly. But, what can you do about it now?

What I'm trying to get here is to inform you of my past self. Hopefully, I can be let into the community again, but don't depend on it. It's all up to the admins of the wiki. I'm not looking for any respect, but I'd appreciate it if you all could treat me as a regular user, instead of bashing me for my past self.

Thanks for reading!
