Outside of the two TASs I made over five years ago that were published (one of which has subsequently been obsoleted) I have contributed nothing to the site.
I also like to joke around on #tasvideos but some would call it trolling.

In your defense, I would say you joke more than you troll.
What do I regret? Caring too much about titles, not having / taking the time to understand encoding better, not finishing either of my major projects at this point (Though I am working on one of them at least now), and having some issues with my attitude.

Submitting Duck Hunt and (to some degree) Cybernoid. Submitting a run that desyncs (I really should have checked that). Picking up and abandoning too many projects (though I do often pick them up several months later, and hopefully their WIPs will be helpful to the next person who picks up the game).
There are probably more silly things I did back when I joined, but that's what I can think of right now.

I wouldn't say this is bad at all. It was great trying to improve your Startropics II WIP, and I look forward to continue working on the game with you once I finish Arcade's Revenge (We're almost finished, seriously).

I regret not being always at my politest to everyone, and being prolongedly neglectful at times. Though in my defense, I still did to the best of my abilities.
I also regret not beginning a rewrite of the site to some modern framework such as Zend or Drupal way before I resigned. Now the maintainers are stuck with... different paradigms of coding. Though then again, inexperienced coders (which I understand to be the case presently) usually have problems abiding strict coding principles required by advanced frameworks, meaning that my lax coding style suits the site better after all.

Now, what I most regret... Not joining earlier. I missed TASVideos when it was in it's prime, and that makes me sad. :(

When was it in its prime (and why?), in your opinion?
I regret to inform you that your account is no longer valid with us. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. Goodbye.

I regret being behaving childishly in the past. Sometimes I think everyone is against me. No, FODA, you are not the center of the universe, grow up.
I remember reacting emotionally when bisqwit said my castle of illusion TAS was sloppy (back in 2004 perhaps), when the super mario land 2 dream team contest run was discovered to be invalid due to an emulator bug, when someone worked on a NES batman TAS while I was also doing that, and when my 120 stars run was being obsoleted shortly after I concluded it after 1 year of work. There must have been countless other moments, I apologize for all.

Not Starting Rayman 2 in the past. Never finding the motivation to pick it up again. For starting a bunch of projects and not finishing them. For acting really noobish when I first joined.

You are one of the most polite and helpful people I've ever known, which is why I find it so strange that you have this as one of your signatures. You should know better than to ascribe such damning attributes to huge, heterogeneous groups of people (numbering more than 1 billion individuals in this case). I don't think it befits you.
What I regret is getting so angry at Warp the other day. I don't regret speaking out, but I should have done it in a far more composed manner. I didn't check back to see his response, because then I'd be compelled to again misuse a topic that wasn't supposed to be so deeply divisive.
I also regret not finishing any TAS projects years ago. Right now I don't have the time for it anymore, but back then I did. A missed opportunity.

You are judging his signature without actually watching the video. Neither the signature nor the video are criticism against islam, but against the United States government. In other words, you are showing a great deal of prejudice based on a superficial glance (which is really ironic), and jumping to conclusions.

Do you think it's polite to throw a tirade of accusations at someone, and then not even give them the courtesy of reading their response? (My response was based on reputable sources, which I linked, and I expected you to give your reputable sources for your claims.)

First of all, I did watch the video. I found it a rather unremarkable and incoherent paranoid rant by an Islamophobe. I won't bore you with the details.
But the most important thing to note here is that there's a considerable campaign of hatred going on against Muslims here in the West, primarily fueled by the extreme right in Europe and the religious right in the US, that shows similarities with the way antisemitic groups spoke about Jews in late Weimar Germany. Of course, the situations aren't the same, and the Jews were eventually harassed in a way that has no equal in history, but when you look at the language that was used against them, we can certainly draw a comparison.
Muslims are being stigmatized and stereotyped, they're being accused of being segregated, of being usurpers, that they don't want to integrate and are happy to simply enjoy the advantages of living at the cost of the majority. There are even conspiracy theories that say Muslims are out to take over all of Europe and impose Sharia law and turn the continent into a caliphate.
Islamophobia is truly the new antisemitism, and it's sharply on the rise in Europe.
This video seems to push the idea that the US government is somehow compromised, that Sharia law is already implemented and that the Establishment Clause has been violated by giving Muslims special treatment.
Now, since it's in Bisqwit's signature, and he links to the video itself, I'm going to assume he agrees with that video's conclusions.
Well, that's what I think is wrong here. It's true that there was an incident whereby a Quran was burned that had disastrous consequences, but those were extreme right-wing Islamists that don't represent the mainstream. To say that burning a Quran causes "Muslims to go on a killing spree" is to ascribe the actions of the few to the group as a whole. I could easily do the same with the actions of the right-wing orthodox Jews who reacted violently to a gay pride parade, and say that gay pride parades cause Jews to start stabbing people, and that would be exactly as bigoted and wrong.
If that's what Bisqwit thinks, then that's a disappointment to me. Especially since I do consider him to be a smart and polite individual. I'd rather not disagree with him on that, but if that's how it is then that's how it is.

Frankly, I don't care too much. I regret getting angry over it, but I don't regret the claims I made about you and I stand by them. I took a brief glance at the topic earlier today and it seems to have settled, so I'm not going to stir the pot again.
