Where do you come from and where do you wanna go next time
In this topic, just post how you came to be involved with the board. If your story is "lol i guggled for liek gamerz 4um and dis was da ferst rezult" then try to include more. Older forums you were a part of, why you searched for this forum, etc.
Anyways, here's my ENTIRE forum story.
As some of you may or may not know, I know Ilyich in real life, and we used to hang out back in the day at this summer camp/daycare type thing. Anyways, he was really into yugioh one year, and so I then got into yugioh. The next summer, it was Megaman, and he got me into megaman. So, from Yugioh, I moved on to Magic: The Gathering. I got big into magic, and I often visited the official magic website, and from there I joined the forum to participate in some YMTC (you make the card) type stuff. My first username there was JJofKyle, cuz this one guy i knew that i played magic with (he also went to camp with us, except a few groups ahead. his brother and sister went too, i'm sure you don't remember them though ilyich) called me JJ and his name is Kyle, so JJofKyle. Stupid, but whatever.
I rolled with that for a while, but then I changed to Lenus89 because Lenus was my favorite character from The Legend of Dragoon. After that I went onto use Bass GS for a while. Anyways, I got invited to an RP forum by one of the members there, and it was called The Plane of RPG (s8.invisionfree.com/the_plane_of_rpg) (or PORPG for short). That lasted the summer between my 8th and 9th grade years. Towards the end of the summer, somebody on that site invited me to another invisionfree forum based on magic the gathering called MTG_Boards (http://s3.invisionfree.com/MtG_Boards/) which was fun, but was incredibly short lived.
From here, I went on to join a site called Megaman X Front Mission (http://s4.invisionfree.com/MegamanXFrontMission/index.php?act=idx). I don't remember where I found out about this site, but it was on one of those 3 I listed there (actually, now that I think about it, I did join a forum rpg based off of gundam that I found through invisionfree search, and I think I got the url there). It's a forum-based RPG, sort of like PORPG, except based on Megaman X, and it was organized a lot differently. There I met some people, notably Vincent Valentine, Evochron, and Icefish. I still talk to VV and Evo to this day. The board didn't last too long, but whenever a board died we just moved onto another one and that lasted like 2 or 3 more months. They were a lot of fun, the most notable of them being Megaman X Vendetta Mission (http://z14.invisionfree.com/MMXVendettaMission/index.php?act=idx). There were also some other ones that I don't have immediate access to the links, but they were fun.
Somewhere in here, I got invited to a website called Suteki Studios (which has sadly been taken down) which was just a general purpose board that some people from Ohio made and invited all of their friends to join. Something I found interesting about this board is that there were no set rules or guidelines. Everybody behaved. Anyways, I met some cool people here too (two of which I still talk to this day. One of which joined the IRC for a day or 2 as Desert, and convinced rai to do thunderbolt) and this board did well for a while, but it died.
Suteki studios went under some maintenance for a while, or got temp shut down, or something I don't remember, but they made a sub-board, and the megaman series was currently between boards, so I told everybody to join the sub-board: Aurum_connection (http://z9.invisionfree.com/Aurum_Connection/index.php?) (if you look around on this site, you'll find one the single most emo thing i've ever said in my entire life). This board was cool too for a while, and I really enjoyed having both of my forum crowds on the same board (as well as my other IRL friend that's a member here, Tvae. Sadly, he only posts when I link him to a topic and he has something to add)
However, all things come to an end, and so did this. At this point, it was my senior year in high school, and a lot of the usual members (that i met in 9th grade) had real-life responsibilities and couldn't manage any RPG forums anymore, so those stopped. There were some unsuccessful spin-offs, until 2 other members came to me with an idea to create an incredibly in-depth role playing game, (to the point that your account name is your character name and your avatar is a picture of your character) based on a future where war has basically torn the country apart, etc, typical cyberpunk stuff. We had an incredibly in-depth plot outline, and we called it twilight horizon. Unfortunately, the main admin never wanted to do anything and it never went anywhere. Shame, cuz it could have been lots of fun.
At this point, I remember on Suteki Studios people were talking about their gaming rigs, and I had a sweet HDTV and PS3 that I wanted to talk about, so I set out to find a gaming forum.....well, I just tried to make one. So I went to Icefish with that Idea, and he helped me make it, but it would have taken a while to set up, so I just found a site on google to 1. get some ideas from 2. satisfy my gaming forum needs until this site is set up and 3. pimp my site once it was set up. I came up with this site that i'm posting on now, and after a while I decided "ah, forget making my own site, i'm just going to post here a lot" Icefish was pretty mad about this, but he stopped caring.
Anyways, to finish off the story, at the beginning of winter break 08 I tried making a site with Ice and Evochron, but it didn't work. Then again in late 2009, we tried to bring back Twilight Horizon, but once again the main admin didn't seem to care and Ice just said "screw this." One day he signed off aim and never got back on...I miss him, he was cool.
So yea, there's my story. What's yours?
