Well, I joined awhile back on the 6th of October, 2010. I originally found it through my brother who had got on Minecraft before me, and pretty much just joined random servers. He had me join Team9000 because of the museum. I remember being like "Oh holy god damn crap" >.> Anyways, my brother didn't really get on it anymore after that, but I decided to build a couple days after.
I was on Guest15, and after seeing the bazillion 1x1 towers in contrast to the museum, I kinda was thrown way off, lol. Anyways, I couldn't really decide what to make, so I just made a boring 6-sided die, lol. After that I though "Oh, it would be cool to make a statue of my skin", so I started working on it. I had only started the feet when some came along to grief it ._. This was before history, so after calling for help because of a griefer, the griefer started yelling that I was griefing him. Unfortunately at the time, there wasn't anyone on, if I recall. So, the thing got destroyed. I then moved on to the island on the side, to be further away from people that would grief. It took me quite a few hours to finish the thing, especially since I had not gotten WoM at that point.
When I finally got done, ANOTHER griefer started dismantling it. Fortunately, admins were on at the time. I believe the people that came after I yelled about the grief was Wooty, Casham, and DayDreaming. Ozy might have been there too, I'm not entirely sure. Either way, he was banned, and the 3 or 4 of them started helping me rebuild it, and I was COMPLETELY surprised that I then got promoted to Cool by Woot right on the spot. My build got zoned (totally something that will not happen with so many people on the server now :3) and I was happy as crap. In the Cool worlds I built some sprites, which got me promoted to Artist, which for those that don't know, at the time it let you build in spritebuilder. But, the fun kinda ended when I got a temp job which required working 12 hours a day. I got one day off a week. So I went inactive for a LONG time.
When I finally got back on, everything had changed, there was tons of people, we were almost at guest 200, and people I had known that were guests were now ranks way above me. But hooray for familiarity when Casham saw me on and promoted me to Builder (since Artist rank was was gone) with the reason "You're back!
"
And thus here I am.
