Birthday

As many are aware, today is my birthday. I'm now 18 years old. I first joined this server and became an admin when I was 10. Happy birthday to me!

As per tradition (I do this on special occasions), feel free to ask me some questions. Want to know how much data I've got archived? Ask away. Want to know what exactly I've got? Go ahead. Want to know the answer to life the universe and everything? Feel free. The only questions I can't answer are ones that are too personal (such as personal details) or are in regards to secrets I hold.

↩  You! How much data of TotalFreedom’s Archives do you hold?

The SSD I have dedicated for archived TF-related data contains \~160 GB worth of data, which includes duplicates.

This does not count the many drives that I used for backups of my computers over the years, which have TF content in them too but not as much.

↩  You! What is one of, if not the most important lessons you have learnt from TF?

• Don't wait around and expect someone else to solve a problem for you. Be the one who solves it instead.
• Do no harm, take no shit.

↩  You! When is your next thread about your time on TF coming?

I'll continue working on it once the ProBoards forum becomes accessible again. I don't have an exact date of when I'll post it, either.

↩  You! What is one message you would give to the community?

There are many messages I could give to this community, so I'll consolidate them into one big message.

The reason much has changed is because nobody has stepped up and taken action on many of the issues that are present. People talk about wanting things to change, but never actually set their foot down and work to have said change occur. Nobody notices issues with the server until either someone points it out or it becomes a problem. If this community truly wants to see actual progress on the server that isn't just shooting itself in the foot and calling it such, it needs to get its shit together by accepting change, setting their foot down by working to fix problems as they come up, prioritizing fixing problems over adding cosmetics, and being observant of the server itself for any issues.

↩  You! What is one message you would give to the world?

Since corruption is prevalent pretty much everywhere, might as well include this one: Corruption is only exposed when someone gets the short end of the stick. History has proven this multiple times, and yet people still forget.

Quote

↩  You! What is one important lesson for life?

I haven't lived life to the fullest yet, so my answer will not be consistent throughout the next few years. As previously mentioned, do no harm and take no shit is a great lesson for life in my opinion.

↩ @'kanst' how did you manage to stay as an admin here for 8 years

Many reasons. To sum it all up though, I have an unrelenting passion for the server that seems to regenerate itself.

↩  burger At what age did you start to develop an interest in computers/computer data and where do you see yourself taking that skill in the future?

I first took interest in computers when I was 5-6 years old. I'll most definitely be utilizing this skill when it comes to datamining projects or archiving. For computers in general, I plan to do it as a career.

↩  Alco_Rs11 what is your favourite exploit?

HD Heads. I wish there was another exploit like it where it could be used like how they were. They opened the door for a lot of creative and artistic uses of player heads, including this masterpiece:

↩  Ivan My question to you is, favorite level in Little Big Planet 1 and why

I don't have one yet, as I have yet to play the game, but I really want to.
