I wish I could just share my enthusiasm with everybody, but I get very anxious that what I'd find interesting people will find dull or maybe even troll... that's something I experienced with actual Reddit, I guess, and now it has carried over pretty much everywhere. I'll try my best because I want to contribute to a better experience not just for me but everybody!

I share this experience with you. It is really weird. When I was a kid, I was chatting in Yahoo chatrooms and posting on forums and I really don't think anyone cared what I had to say back then. These days, I can have real conversations but am too timid to do so!

Same! I grew up on yahoo chat and age of empires forums, I wish I could stop worrying about what others thought.

The Pokemon rooms on Yahoo! chat were my jam! I played a LOT of Age of Empires as a child but I don't think I ever knew there was a forum for it.

For what it is worth, I have enjoyed this small exchange!
