Like I said earlier, it was partially to get into the porn section of the forum. But it was also because I was talking to people from the forum on Skype (remember Skype Crew?) and I wanted to be taken seriously. Not treated like a kid.
This backfired horribly. Because a girl from the forum (SLAA - idk if you remember her) who I was friends with blindsided me when she told me she liked me. And I was a dumb kid who genuinely did not expect it, and did not know what to say. So I told her I felt the same way. And I did like her. She was cool and pretty. But I had always seen her as my buddy. Never figured it would lead to that, especially since she didnt even know what I looked like. Just my voice. I didnt want to be mean, so I told her I liked her too. For months we were in an online relationship that I was desperate to get out of, because I knew it would never work out. I finally had to abruptly break it up (but I didnt tell her the real reason). It was nasty. She didn't take it well, and I didnt handle it well, and she said she couldn't speak to me anymore. It led to all of her friends turning on me. This is why Satanisk Slakt went from my friend to my enemy overnight (he later apologized when I was invited to TheGNRForum and we made peace). This is why Conor wound up banning me (he later apologized too, asked me to come back to GNFNR, and got me reinstated on the staff. But for a period, everyone who liked SLAA hated me. And that was a lot of people, since dudes tend to white knight for the only attractive woman around).
I wound up reaching out to her on FB several years ago and apologizing for basically unintentionally catfishing her and not being honest from the start. I was young and stupid. It was a small white lie that spiraled out of control. After I ended things with her, I stopped caring about lying about my age.
