      Remember those aesthetic posts that were around on Enjin?

      They were something like this:

      I always thought you'd fade when I buried you and me
      But on our grave a bed of flowers bloomed
      And now each day you grow more beautiful as I'm left to decay
      I guess it's true that some things never change

        Of course, it was mandatory that the comments are disabled and there would sometimes be even fancier posts, e.g. special fonts. One name that comes to mind, who probably had the most aesthetic wall in the history of Mineplex forums, was a former staff member called Enchancia (I think I'm spelling it right). Their posts were often related to Disney & other fantasy stuff. I, on the other hand, was an edgy early teen who posted things like what you see above.

        NEW MEMORY UNLOCKED

        "[size=3)"

        This was the almost obligatory font in any aesthetic wall post or any aspiring trainee's forum posts. It shrinks the text down from the usual size 4. Yes, I'm guilty of having used it, during my trainee tryharding phase no less.

        Also, this smiley - c:

      2022 Recapped

      I've come to make an announcement. Shadow the Hedgehog's a...

      And so, the eighth year of my existence here is now gone. Since this is the fourth yearly recap I've done, this means the tradition's been going on for half of that stay, which is kind of ridiculous. Speaking of, this was the first year ever that I didn't submit a staff application here or thought about doing so. Some traditions are better left behind.

      I actually had a lot of fun, as far as Mineplex is concerned. Considering that the year before I was going to leave and not look back, I did end up spending quite a bit more time on here, mostly playing with my best friend. It was a joy being a bit of a nuisance at the beginning of the year and I'd learned not to take myself so seriously, which honestly is sometimes a little difficult for me, but I'd done it.

      On the whole, I can be really proud of myself in 2022. It wasn't necessarily a year in which I accomplished a lot - although starting to attend a pretty good university is certainly one that looks good on the record - but I endured some things that I'd never go through again, whilst being pivotal for my development. Ultimately, I feel that I'm a bit of a better human now.

      In the other long post I recently did I talked a bit about my identity. While at the beginning of last year I already considered myself non-binary, this is something I can now confirm as I am a transfeminine person who now goes by a different name. Should everything go right, I will probably start undergoing hormone reassignment therapy this year, and this stands as my main resolution for the year. Thenorn is a name I mostly want to forget, as I don't use it anywhere anymore but appreciate it for what it was. However, since there isn't much life here anyway, I won't bother to change it to anything else.

      So, who likes pencils?​

      Reminiscing on the staff application age requirement & determination to succeed​

      Hi, as evidenced from the format, this is going to be the very occasional serious post that I sometimes send out into the void of the forum. After seven and a half years (today is, in fact, exactly that much since I joined Mineplex), I suppose I still haven’t grown out of doing so for my own pleasure.

      The other day, I recalled a specific memory – a thread I made on the old forums in early 2016 on abolishing the age requirement (set to 14 at the time) that gained significant traction. I was 12 years old at the time, about to be affected by the said requirement for nearly two more years – a time period that wasn’t endurable for me back then. I went on to bypass the limit next year, but my behavior showed exactly why one would be vary of giving moderation responsibilities to someone that young. I was sharp for my age, sure, but immature, as nearly everyone at that age is.

      I’d never go back to my teenage years. I did not have the ability to put together why a lot of things were the way they were and why I was struggling with some things. But 12 year old me encountered perhaps the first such question: why were my assertions so belittled by “adults”? I was serious and invested – I really wanted to be a staff member on the server. So why was this dude by the name of Soccerstar0015 telling me (something along the lines of) that I’d regret and cringe at the things I was doing / saying at the time, and that it’s the case for everyone?

      The rest will be posted in the comments.​

        In all fairness, one look at the things I said in the archived version of the thread would tell you I was, indeed, being a melodramatic pre-teen. Rather than being grounded by the aforementioned person’s response, though, I persisted partly out of spite to them. It was fun and I learned to stand up for myself and show I was, in fact, capable. Had the age requirement and people like Soccerstar’s views not been there, I wouldn’t have deemed it necessary to perform and continuously improve.

        I’m older now, but I’d say one thing is the same. Without someone to oppose or question me, I don’t feel motivated enough, even when performing would be for my own benefit. I suppose a lesson I learned mainly through attempting to become a staff member from 2015 through 2017 is that I should not be afraid to prove myself, either to others or to my own self. Otherwise, I am too mellow and will avoid tackling obstacles most of the time.

        There is now an issue a bit more complex and important than the staff position was, which is undergoing gender transition, as all signs have been pointing to me being transgender for a while now. It explains many of the issues I faced as a teenager, but many around me will not be quick to accept the conclusion that I’ve come to. The only way out is very similar – being assertive and proving that I am capable of walking my own path, and that I won’t let others define who I am. Nobody will do my share of work either way, but if someone directly opposes me, I will feel more compelled to tackle it for the sake of not giving up control to others in my own life.

        In conclusion to this ramble I felt compelled to write at 4am – thank you, Mineplex, for the moral life lesson. And hey, this is my first time mentioning I’m trans on here too, so I guess this doubles as a coming out post.

        Well hello there then, fellow transgender person. I am super happy for you in figuring this out for yourself and taking those steps as they can be scary and overwhelming to even think about. It took me nearly two years to accept that I was fully trans and not gender fluid, as I was just forcing myself to feel feminine in hopes it wouldn't upset my family as much. Congratulations on coming out, (even though you never really stop) and I hope that your future is safe and happy in your new path. Take care \o/
