Do you remember your biggest noob moment?

For the first time in ages I went back and viewed my very first posts/threads here on THW. I can honestly say it is EMBARRASSING to see how much of a noob I was. I pretty much disregarded every site rule there was and generally came across as arrogant and careless.

So with this in mind, what is the biggest noob moment that you can remember?

Hmm. Here?

Perhaps advertising my own maps too much, protecting them and thinking they were superior. Especially the first maps I uploaded here.

Like this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/art-life-2-9-a-80094/?prev=status%3Da%26u%3DAeroblyctos


EDIT: Hmm. Actually I got a better one. I once tried to put my campaign here as a hosted project and then went a bit too far.

Here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/site-discussion-97/hives-new-hosted-project-96705/

I got owned by Hive staff. And after that I decided to create own website for the project. I still hold grudge against Purplepoot and some other Hive members and staff.

He absolutely tore you apart haha. I feel bad saying it but reading that exchange was so entertaining. I loved PP and he helped me tons with coding. Never realized he had that side to him though! Great post.

Probably this:

Dude, fladdermasken's "Either that, or the rocks are placed in a geomatrically impossible formation." literally made me laugh out loud.

If someone would get me naked (only with underwear) models for : an regular female and a regular male it would be nice.

Too good haha.

Haha those made me remember my own first uploads.

I love the moderator's (werewulf) comment here:

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/icons-541/btnfiredragon-90276/?prev=status%3Dr%26u%3DElainiel

And here my self-esteem went to rock bottom if I remember correctly.

Good ol' times :)

Edit: If I think about it, I can probably post a dozen of threads like this, as I was completely retarded back then.

Some maps downloaded from here did not work for me, so I wondered how others can play it and I can not. So someone on this site said about patches he said 99% of players have patches and you do not. And I did not know how to get that frog from patches, I wondered where is the frog model, so I asked General Frank where can I get the frog. Because I was arguing with him about the frog, General Frank banned me from the chat, then I started flaming him because he banned me from the chat, so DonDustin comes out from nowhere and says your a troll, bad behavior and I was banned for almost a year. So I have gotten smart and found out that there is patch and got the frog model finally.
 
Once I was playing DotA with my friends, 5v5 in a single room in my friends house. Me and a friend went to the bottom lane gank one of the enemies. When we attacked him, two more enemies emerged from the woods. We killed our primary target and heavily damaged the other two. I remember I was Troll Witch Doctor. Our two remaining opponents began to flee, and my friend was all like: "Stun. Stun. Stun! Stun! STUN! STUN!!! STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!"
and I didn't understand I should cast Acid Cask. And that is my most embarrassing PC moment.

I think everyone is generally stupid and ignorant when they first joined, especially if it was years ago and you were younger. I was 14 when I joined! A little kid, practically, and I acted like it sometimes.

One of the early memories I'll never forget is a thread Shados and I had dedicated to the tilde key (~) called The Cult of Squigglies. Yeah. That was an actual thing that happened.

And don't even get me started on HappyTauren. If I hadn't showed that kid the ropes back in the day who knows where he'd be :p

My first months of learning how to use GUI was horrible, like ½ of the times I asked about something was because I simply read something (or everything) wrong. :/

Challenge accepted. :p
Actually Hive was one of the first places I visited when I could first actualy possibly use any internet connection so I uploaded a map that I thought was epic(That I also did make myself).

I was noob in everything computer based. =D
I didn't even know that I had to activate my account with my email address, so I couldn't even post.

Not on this site, but 3 or 4 years ago my English was really terrible. :thumbs_down: Well, actually, it sucks now too, but not so much.

I was naive and optimistic. Now I'm cynical and jaded. Not sure how "noob" works into that; you can decide.

Sitting in the computer club, almost suffocating from the cigarette smoke from the bastards around me, and posting a thread about "I want to know how to edit Art - Model Files" on wc3sear.ch. Ahhhh, old days. And then when I logged from my home pc, Frankster thought I'm using proxy.
