OTF's year of reflection.

I occasionally explored OTF forums when I was bored, and engaged in ones that I found interesting. Tbh you're the only user I remember from OTF

Ah, too much time in clubs for you! But I’m flattered to be remembered.

Yeah cause I can't play chess in OTF

I mean, fair enough.

I remember you because of your cringey lines.. Jk lol

Uhhhh I got to 2100 elo that’s pretty sick

No need for the 'Jk'. I'm perfectly aware of what I say here. Though, probably not aware enough...

Didn't you get 2200?

do kids still go to school? i thought they spend all day trolling online.

We do, just from school.

ahh! it must be mostly computer studies these days then

i went to the hospital with breathing issues, and when I got out, my dad gave me unlimited screen time on chess.com. Eventually, I got bored of playing chess, explored, and found forums. At first, I only used “more puzzles”, but eventually I discovered otf. My first experience I remember of otf was making a forum about how tennis is scored, and back then I had no clue what it would become. I started to be on otf more often, making friends like chip, dead, blue, basix, and pitiless (plus a bunch of other friends). For a couple years up to this point, I really didn’t have any friends, so it felt really good to have friends. I started doing rps, the first one being called “sun, sky, stars” by chip. This eventually led to me seeing an rp of some blue guy in space, saying “why not?”, and making a Harry Potter inspired character. The best rp I’ve ever been a part of was born. I made “Haikus R Us”, a fun little place where you speak in haiku form. Here i discovered that I actually kinda like making poetry. Around this time, I started to feel depressed, and when I heard NF rap about how he made music to deal with traumas, I decided to try it. “The voices” was born, and people said i did great. Pitiless saw it, we talked in DMs, and he said something along the lines of “don’t change, you’re a great guy” or smth I can’t remember exactly. This inspired me to make a sequel to “the voices” called “the light”, which I also was told was made well. One day, I’m sitting outside a Shell gas station holding a subway bag, relaxing on otf, and then I see a certain image (iykyk). I made a few more poems before eventually putting one to song: “I’m fine”. I realized about here that I wanted to be a rapper when I grow up. One day, I’m on a forum made by someone (I’m pretty sure hunky) about tips on making a good forum. Somebody said they can’t make a forum, and I was curious and asked why. They said they’d dm me, and a few minutes later, I receive my first dm from @Espio-Yo. New Year’s comes, and something happened which caused me to cry myself to sleep. The next day, I make a forum about it, the first real time I reached out for help. It, however, would not be the last. If it wasn’t for otf, I would never have discovered my love for music, I would never have met Espio… I may not even have made it this far. 
(sorry for the format lol, also this may not be perfectly chronological)

What a great story! Despite Espio leaving and all, based on what you wrote, you've had a fun time and made a lot of friends. Thanks for sharing your year in review!

You forgot to mention the best thing that happened this year. I joined.

I just wanted you to point it out for me!
