I was a relatively late bloomer as far forum life goes. I was 25 when I joined PE2K and I really didnt leave the battling center for a couple of years after joining. Forum life was something that needed adjusting, people in the battling center took things so serious which to a 25 was not very easy to understand. The age difference really didnt make it easy to adjust to the arrogant teen battlers. It wasnt until I got a solid lock on battling that I earned any respect there.
