Well, I just celebrated my first birthday in PP, and now I’ve almost have 10000 posts in here.
But I was thinking about my humble beginnings and the first times I posted in here.
Here you have my first post, made in the Toy Story 3 discussion board, made back in Sat May 15, 2010 11:10 pm. I was interested in those images so I could made a wallpaper and I decided to register in the forums.
The sad thing is that nobody ever answered that
So, dear old friends, what was your first post?
I made an introduction thread the very moment I signed up.
Uh, hello everyone. I’d just like to introduce myself. Since I’m a huge fan of Pixar, I decided to join this site. I’ve seen many boards around here and it looks like a very friendly community. Before joining however, I did have alot of trouble with the awful Captcha system you have to use while registering. I can’t remember the last time I was so frustrated. But eventually I got the code right and here I am.
If you want to find out more about me, just look at my profile. I’ve already written a quick description about myself.

Haha, another introduction:
Leirin:
Hello everyone Up hype) and got the guts to finally sign up!

A pretty standard introduction, if I say so myself.
Oh, looks like I’m the only one who didn’t an introductory post.
Why, It was just three days ago.
Methuselah:
sigh This thread makes me both sad and interested. I apologize for posting on a thread that is a month old, but this needs to be said.
Let me explain why it makes me sad first. Well, we are trying to have an intellectual discussion here, and it seems as though it is difficult to do so because those with opinions to the contrary of what the populist declaration is here are being hounded and called insults. This is simply wrong and should never be done in a discussion. Shooting down someone else’s opinion, especially when their opinion is very well explained, with a good amount of proof, is a big, big, no no. If you have a problem with them, state your two cents or leave the thread. I see this too often at this forum, where a poster with a great, well thought out post is assailed by fanboys and girls because his opinion contradicts them. I am not pointing fingers, but you know who you are. Please, I plead, that you do not resort to Ad Hominems and even worse, just attack their opinion as worthless. For those of you scratching your heads, an Ad Hominem is a personal attack usually used by an opponent in a debate when he has either run out of arguments or have nothing useful to say. If you have an opinion that conflicts with zinem’s, great! Then state your opinion, or don’t say anything.
Now on to why it is interesting. I feel that this thread is a great eye-opener. For it displays the argument against why Toy story 3 is great. While I thought that Toy story 3 was satisfactory, I never saw it as a groundbreaking movie whose presence will be felt throughout the entertainment industry for years to come. You see, I think that Pixar has run into a problem which they seldom run into, because they have never gotten to a second sequel before.
This problem is the problem of change. You see, Toy story’s formula, as pointed out previously, has been the same in the last two films before this. The formula is that the toys get separated from their Master, Andy, and are forced into the same escape, search, and rescue formula. While this worked fine in the last two films, Pixar seems to have crossed the line from ‘essential part of story’ to ‘Monotonous repeat of last two films’. To make things worse, Toy story 3 has very little character development and is quite top-heavy. The problem is there are now around a dozen or so characters in the movie. Most of these characters serve mainly to give one-liners(Hamm), exist only to appease adult comedy(Ken) or their antics in previous films are being recycled, their character development thrown out, and them being reduced to being there for cheap laughs(Buzz). As, once again, explained before in the thread, the character development just isn’t really there. What is the lesson, besides to always hate Teddy bears and keep at least 4 feet away from Baby dolls? There doesn’t seem to one as Andy and the Toys are just going to go through the same cycle they have in the previous films with Bonnie.
I apologize if this has been repeating previously in this thread. I have not read through the entire thread.
I actually didn’t start with an introductory post. My first post was actually on an old thread on the WALL•E board titled “Robots-Humans”. Here’s the link to the post (you might have to scroll down a bit):

Let me think back, 5 months ago…
I found it! It wasn’t really much of a introduction, it was more of me blending into the conversation of the Wall-E and Edward Boyfriend threads, when I was referencing something i did similarly in this other site i used to go to.
Ironically, i had posted something about which relationship was better on a different forum from a game called “X or Y?”. It was, in my exact words:
(relationships)
Wall-E and EVE (Wall-E) or Bella Swan and Edward Cullen (Twilight). I couldn’t decide myself, but it would definitely be Wall-E and EVE because, for one thing, i LOVE Wall-E, second, i HATE Twilight, and third, well, PIXAR RULEZ!!!
Honestly, this is a unaminous choice! I mean, who would rather go for a stalkerish, dark and creepy pervert when you can go with a selfless, caring, adorable and innocent robot?
Here’s mine

So both somethingguy912 and JustSoWall-eCrazy went straight to the point, like me
Well, I’m a little reluctant and ashamed to share mine with you, but I’m sure it’s clear by now that I am a severely flawed, messed up person. Here you go:

Yes, I did. That one was banned, I believe. But I’ve repented and reformed!
Well, that’s the important thing. You’ve matured so much since that.
Here it is, about Up’s nomination:
So happy right now!
It’s pretty great to be the second animated film in history to make the Best PIcture nomination . . . but, sadly, Up has no chance of winning. Hey, though, a nomination isn’t bad! And it’s definitely got Best Animated Feature. Crossing my fingers for MG on the Original Score; I love the music in Up.
Good luck, and congrats.
You made you old account a week after mine.
I’m surprised my first post didn’t get locked!
Back in July of 2006, when I was a young and fairly excited member like most of you all here.
But I stayed at PP!
Virginia, you made another account? I like your new name better
