Comparing who you were in the old forum, and who you are here, you're certainly a lot humbler. You began as a running joke among the regulars, be it about your teeth, your bragging of strength, mention of chains, speech patterns, etc, but now what times jokes are made feel like they're made beside you, not at you. People here treat you differently than they used to for a reason.
Can't really say I know much more beyond that. You've grown, but across the internet, it will never be the complete picture.
I don't think anyone really knows who they are, just who they think they may be at that time. By the time they learn in-depth who they are, they may realize they've only learned who they used to be.
