Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Yeah, couldn't think up a title so Saft apologises for that...

When you were a child what did you want to be when you were younger?  If it is possible have you lived up to your childhood dream or has it completely diverted?

Mine is pretty close to be honest.  Wanted to be an archaeologist..actually have the offer to change my degree to archaeology so I will see if there is more information before I change.:D

My childhood dream was to be a voice actor, or more specifically, a voice actor in a Land Before Time film. To answer your question, although the answer is obvious, my dream has in fact been completely diverted, as the Land Before Time production has ceased to exist. I dreamt of this even into my teenage years, imagining what it would be like. I was naturally heartbroken to learn that the movies are over with. During that time, my secondary dream was to be a writer of some sort. Now that The Land Before Time is over, writing is now my primary focus.

I believe my childhood dream was to design video games, having basically grew up with them. To some degree I have fulfilled that dream, as I have created a few small games. I can say for sure that the experience and the feeling of creating your own game is indescribable.

I've had so many childhood dreams that I can't say which one I was deciding to be. However one of the most common ones were: children doctor, art designer for video games and musician. I want to be a translator now. Ambitious, I guess? ;)

First I wanted to be a firefighter, then a veterinarian, then a psychologist, then a pediatrician, then an animator, then a medical examiner, and then then a nurse.  What do these all share in common?  They all have to do with helping others out, whether to bring happiness (animation, psychology), heal (vet, pediatrician, nurse), protect others (firefighter), or bring resolution to loved ones of a person's cause of death (medical examiner).  I've always been the type who likes to help others out.

Have I diverted?  Yes, I ultimately went into becoming a park ranger.  Is it much different?  No.  I still get to help and guide others, but I also get to help protect animals and resources.  A major perk?  Being in the great outdoors, something all the careers mentioned above could not bring me ;).
