Here's a fun question that is just enjoyable to think about, when is the last time you regularly used a forum?


I was on a proboards for a legend of zelda advice column where people would respond in character as characters, so it's BEEN A MINUTE SINCE I'VE BEEN ON A FORUM.

also do we get forum signatures, do I have to open up my photobucket account again

Smashboards. And I wasn't even posting, just reading through em sometimes. It's been a real long time. *looks into signatures*

i just was digging through gaiaonline and I am broken hearted to report that my old signature no longer exists, because my account is dead. it breaks my heart, I'll need to make a new macro for formatting my posts too

The last time I was on a forum was when I was seriously writing homebrew content for D&D 3.5 on the Giant in the Playground forums. So that was like 10 years ago. I cut my teeth on that BBCode. I spent so much time formatting tables for D&D classes I could do it by heart in a text editor without previewing the post and still have it be spot on 9 times out of 10.

I remember I tried to play/run some play by post games on GitPG when I was in high school. I did not know what I was getting into at aaaall.

I cut my designer teeth on GITP! Haven't posted there in *logs in real quick* four whole years! I hear you about that BBCode. XD

It was definitely the first real design community I took part in, and it really helped me get excited about the idea of design. I'm glad for it on that level, at least.

I used to attend some roleplay forums with friends of mine about twelve years ago. I did look around for active forums last year, but I think a lot of that kind of discussion has moved to Reddit and social media. Glad to see it make a comeback here :)

i'm sitting here refreshing a main page of a forum for the first time in years, it's bringing me BACK

My first forum was for the ARG Vanished run by the Smithsonian/MIT Education Arcade, and after that I ended up on the forums for mobile MMORPG Celtic Heroes? Which I haven't checked in a few years, but it hasn't actually been too long. 2-3?

actually fairly recently, because forum rps are seeing a resurgence with tumblr dying off...but i haven't been truly dedicated to a forum since unforum (a big arg community forum) died back in 2017 :(

thank you curewiki for my new forum signature

*sits in rocking chair*

I use to moderate for a LiveJournal community that was pretty well known in certain circles back in the day... Before that, I was on Gaia, like, a lot.

I was queen batastard on the primary Twilight Fan Forums from like 4th grade to 7th grade. My name was a slightly mispelled version of my dog's name, and my avatar was badly drawn pyramid. 

excuse me can we swear on this christian forum

Probably back in middleschool on the Maplestory forums, as well as an RP and General Muckery zetaboard my friends from the Maplestory forum made ages ago called Ninja Giraffe. It was a wild time.

I dabbled in a few forums in middle and high school, but the only place I really used was the Essential Anime Forums, where I, a fifteen year old, was made a forum admin in the peak ::glomp:: era.

Sure was a time.

The only forum I've ever been properly active on was the Lego Messageboards back when I was in secondary school. It's been a while.

Ive not had much experience with forums but the last time I followed any with regularity was the Fable 3 forums just before that came out

(+2)

About a year, I think? ... but that forum kind of dried up and died pretty quickly because it was very insular. My activity there lasted for maybe a month, before I gave up.

Before that, it had been.... 10-15 years, maybe? I used to hang out on hobbyist novel-writers' forums in highschool.

I spent a little bit of time on the Waypoint forum in late 2017! Before that I think the last time I was a regular was on one or two of the general/off topic GameFAQs boards a decade or more ago?

I've honestly never regularly used any forum. I've casually browsed a few gaming forums, but I was never particularly active in any of them.

I spent years and years over on the Penny-arcade forums, after my roommate got me into them.  But I kinda fell off a couple years ago.

Consistently? Probably around 2011ish when I first GMed Fantasy Craft and was on that forum constantly.

Oof, let's see...I think it was some play by post forums I took part in like 4-5 years ago?

My last time visiting a forum was probably looking through Giants in the Playground for some half remembered homebrew thing.


The last time posting on forums would be Gaia rp guilds aaaaagges ago.
