1  How long have you been a member? What experience do you have in other forums, specifically gaming forums? - This helps me realize whether it is new to you or not, and if you know how a forum works. It also gives me the time you had with the forums so I know how much you had to change as a poster.

1st June 2009. I am a regular in GameFaqs forums.

2  Read your first few posts, do you yourself think that your style has changed? How much?

I have been less of a troll after receiving TONS of threats by Mods xD

3  How often do you post a day? Has this changed from any other time period?

Around 2 times. I always have posted more when there is a gaming event eg. PS3 Slim.

4  Answer the question in the thread title.

Not much but there is a slight difference.

 

Thanks to anybody who takes their time to answer the questions.

1) I've been a member for just over a year. I've posted on a few forums before this, but they were single-game-specific.

2) Absolutely. I think through my posts more, I troll less, I am less of a fanboy, and even my opinions have changed (my first post stated that I thought CoD4 was an 8.5 at best)

3) More than I used to, definitely.

4) Yes. Generally, as you post more and spend more time on the site, you become a more balanced poster, and you troll less. It's why you see so few trolls above the 5000 mark, and none above 10,000.

EDIT: Also, if you troll too much, you're permabanned before you can get near 10,000.

1 How long have you been a member?

For 2 YEARS (almost). So I basically know how the forum works, which threads become hot which don't & so on.

2. My style remains the same. OVEREXAGGERATIVE, OVER THE TOP & WITH LOADS OF CAPS!

3. Always POSTED alot......but I used to take 1 month self bans when exams came.

4. Yes.....imo they become less fanboys. When I joined I was definetely seen as a complete PS3 fanboy & I behaved like that. But after about 1 year after joining.....I became more balanced & much less fanboyish. Before I never used to say anything good about xbox 360 or wii. Now thats changed, I can accept they are good too.
