When did you start using forums?

[Fate]

Think I was about 12 or 13 when I joined my first forum. But I left shortly after for a couple years. After I returned, I started being really active there and started joining other forums, too. I stopped visiting this one, though. Haven't been active there for years.

One of the other forums I later joined was a really small one that had maybe about 5,000 posts. I invited a small group of friends there and it's become my home forum since. Had a lot of fun there and made a lot of close friends, but life's caught up to most of us. We still keep in touch, but the forum's been pretty inactive the last couple of years.

And now I'm here. Was starting to miss forum life. =P

The first forum I ever was active on was one I co-owned with Paul of pokejungle! We had a few iterations of it and I made a lot of friends there. I have no idea what year that was though. xD I joined PE2K shortly after that, in 2005 when I was 15.

Pokejungle sounds familiar... how long did it last?

Pokejungle is still going strong as a website and is actually really popular now because Paul went to live in Japan so he gets all the latest news!

The forum was called Indigo Plateau but was really small, then switched to being called Mt. Moon for years. And just recently Paul launched a brand new forum. :)

Oh that's actually pretty cool! :D

Oh boy, brings back the memories. Both very good AND the very bad xD

My first ever forum was GT (GameTrailers). While I made some awesome friends there. it came with its fair share of bad memories too. GT ended up running itself into a brick wall back in 2012 which was like a giant middle finger to all it's loyal user base. So about 80% of the big everyday users left after the forum overhaul (which everyone warned them would happen if they took certain things out...the staff just didn't care).

So after the big switch my friends and I lost our main hub to have our own section for our stuff and talk so we made our own small forum. That lasted about 3 years and never got anyone new to join the site either. So oh well.

Then one day bored on a trip to New Mexico. Using my phone I google search something Pikachu related (I can't remember what). I stumbled across the Pikachu Survivor Game back on PE2K. I was so intrigued that, even though it had happened a year prior to reading it. I read EVERY. SINGLE. POST from it. I LOVED IT! So I just had to get in on that action. I tried joining, but the site had been locked for new users joining unless you contacted an administrator. I looked around to see what was up and found the thread detailing the site merging here with PXR. Now I'm here with PXR! Got to participate in the craziness that is PSG (and won on my second attempt, almost won on my first attempt too!). I'm stuck with you all now FOREEEEEEEVER AND EEEEEEEEEEEVERRRRRRRRR!
