How many of you have improved as a person since first being a member here? I have. Some of you may know me more on a personal level and know that I'm pretty chill. The other day I had an email from Google stating my account hadn’t been accessed for a period of time and was due to be deleted. I don’t even remember creating it. I restored it, logged in, and what did I see? Old CN messages.

What a load of cock waffle.

What I felt was confidence at the time now just seems like unchecked ego. I still don’t write the best, usually laziness, but I’m glad I’m here now at 40 years old and can just be a better person. Running the MIR2 server, there was a sense of having to be better than anyone else. It was competitive. That inflated my ego a lot, an ego I didn’t need. These days, any ego I have I use towards guiding others in personal ventures of fitness and health.

2026, the year I realised I’m less of an asshole.

Hope you’re all doing well.

Was a child when I created my account, so I would certainly hope so.

Rarely here but have a browse every now and then to see how the scene is doing.

I was a little **** when I first joined mir, talked a load of crap and scammed a load of crap. Thankfully I can say I've matured well and succeeding in life very well.

Thanks to LOMCN and my mrs, I got a job in IT which has lead me in to a networking role. I've got a lot to thank my mrs for, for making me a better person in general tbh. Getting married in April and then planning on having kids.. Oh how times have changes since standing outside BW book store on Euro or the refiner on P69 lol.

My old posts make me cringe.

When i want to feel better about myself, i search for them. It's like a reward.

Unchecked raging autism and the internet don't really go well together.


I just turned 35, been visiting this site for 21 years now i think. My addiction to mir has lasted longer than my 3 marriages.

I guess we can't blame ourselves for what only time can teach, i think we where all our happiest to play mir and lomcn gives us that shot of dopamine that we sometimes need, it will be sad when it does go I guess.

It wont ever go, not until we all die anyway.

I think if you are still here after 20+ years, you always going to be here.
