heres a quick story

 

i made my account back in 2011 (when i was myself 11) but solely just downloaded mods and did nothing else for just over 12 years. i didnt even have a profile picture or know there was a forum/how to navigate the web back then i dont even remember what business i possibly had on this site. i used the site irregularly to download stuff like skyrim mods and what have you in the years to follow, but did not participate further.

 

then i started modding blade & sorcery semi recently, and began to participate in the bug reports side of things. after my second or third bug report post/reply post,it finally dawned on me that i had no PFP, so i was like 'hmm im gonna get a profile picture' and thats when i saw "Member Since 28 May 2011" and was like 'WHAT??" i found out just how long i had been using Nexus Mods without even knowing it. 12 years is a long time to do absolutely nothing on the site, so i went ahead and set up my account/profile details and drafted this quick post. kinda mind boggling to me - 12 years between me joining and my first forum post...

 

thats 6,419,520 minutes, or 106,992 hours, or 4458 days, or 146 months without posting!

 

 

so i figured id share that. maybe you'll find it interesting. maybe it'll make you feel old. i wonder how often situations the one i described above occur

it must be a bit of a trip for the older people around here to think that, back in september 2011, most of the other mod-users my age weren't even really cognizant... and now, here some of us are, adults, still modding.

After seeing your post I checked mine, I've been here 17 years, time flies.

I'm approaching nineteen years, but I think my account was migrated from an earlier site.

I welcome you, as you begin to communicate on the forum I am drifting back to being a wild outdoors type.

 

I downloaded many mods for Bethesda games starting with Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Skyrim SE, Fallout 3, New Vegas to Fallout 4.  I have been trying to pay it forward ever since.

 

First by making a mod to share at Seyda Neen for Morrrowind, then a rest stop for Fallout 3.  Finally made a few dollars, but Kudos were all we could share.

 

Now the children who are modding aren't the ones I was trying to share those golden $$$ signs with.

 

I set back and put the modder's names on folders, to remind me of whom the modders were I got them from.  I put their names on the folders so I could one day thank them with $$$ if I got rich.  I thought I might, because I was saving money by staying home and playing video games on week ends.

 

If I see all those folders with their names on the folders their mods are in I saved in a humongous drive; I know I will get misty eyed.  The folders sit gathering electronic airs.  (I wonder if there is dust in Cyber Space?)

 

Enjoy!
