Aren't you forgetting the hair
The hair isn't embarrassing. It is glorious

Awww, thanks Hilde

Careful about removing your posts, y'all, there are ~~lots of~~a few here and there useful posts among the shitposts.

Whacka and I made a point of copying our useful posts into word docs in advance of the nuking.

I'd suggest other OPs do the same.

I'm not ashamed of the hair! I had really nice hair, thank you very much

Don't worry ben, I can definitely relate to regretting hair choices from long ago

I also had bad hair. The TSA agent called me out on it when I was trying to get through airport security...

when I give my ID, I get comments on my old hair pretty often

Note that I'm not at all sensitive about my writing so please be as forthcoming and honest as possible.

I can read it if you'd like.

I didn't at first but than I just got a bit creeped out by randos lurking in my personal life. Plus I don't want to say something dumb about wanting one school over another or something and have that somehow affect me.

I figured nearly 4000 posts was a good time to nuke everything. I preserved Cornell, NYU, and the Spreadsheets but everything else is gone.

My thoughts are that the more posts you have the less pertinent it is to delete your posts. It's easy to go through 100, much less easy to go through 1k+. Also, idgaf at this point. My SCOTUS/POTUS dreams have given way to reality.

I preserved my Columbia post. It is harder when you have more posts, but I would rather just clean slate it.

Plus it's not that hard for schools to look through their individual threads and see what's being said by applicants. If an applicant said something the school found particularly offensive then they have the incentive to ID the poster.
