Was anyone in any big online communities before this one?

Gamefaqs

Still have the account. "Member Since June 28th, 2001 (15 years ago)". So 2 years or so before I came here.

Moderation there was just as shit back then as it is today, but still the best place for quick help on specific games.
 
Was anyone in any big online communities before this one? I was a member of GameTalk when I was around 15-17 years old. Modded the Dark Cloud (PS2) forum. That was so much fun. I used to get up at like 4am because that's when so the fun chatting happened on AOL instant messenger (of course most others were from the US)
Dashhacks network. Most contributions were themes and boot videos for the PSP before Sony introduced (our) theme support in an ofw.

Xboxscene. Did softmods, hdd replacements and ram mods for easy cash.

CodeCreatersClub. Finding cheat codes with cheat devices and doing rom dumps.
 
I'll be 40 this Saturday. Met my wife in an AOL chatroom.
Ahhh, good ole AOL chatrooms on a 56k modem, if you're wondering how I got this username, blame that, half a fukkin hour typing anything down just to get a somewhat decent account name (and probably one of my first exposures to the net!)

41 here, 42 in a few weeks, definitely one of the older gang on here, but compared to Hanafuda, still a baby!! :lol:
 
Glad there are some older than me. I'm 30.

For those 25 and older, what was your first exposure to the net? I was about 12, and joined a chat room called "Acme Pet" using the school computers. I gave myself the username Quantum Cat, because the name Schroedinger's Cat was already taken :-) Then in high school (year 7) I discovered Neopets, and got all my friends to play it too, and the school blocked its first website ever.
I was....11 or 12. dialup. That very popular chatroom "4-lane". It's still up and running I believe. Met my first internet friend there. We still talk occasionally.

The good 'ol days of terrible reliability, iframes, webrings, and ICQ. And Yahoo! was still a thing, what with their online games. I got into 4chan when it first started out as an american version of Japan's 2chan (Futaba Channel). but that was a long long time ago. Back when bears love apples.

I stalked yahoo! answers for a while back in dial-up days (I think that's when it was, it was a long time ago), telling people very obvious stuff. I saved at least one person's life (or at least that's what they told me later) because they weren't sure bleeding while pregnant was something to bother a hospital about. They really didn't wanna go. A lot of stuff like that.

I much prefer answering questions about video games. and asking dumb questions of my own.

I am 15, but many say my mental age seems a lot higher... and I would probably agree with them.
 
Oh man I wish I could be 14 again. I'd do things SO differently.

I have a feeling I'm going to say the exact same thing when I don't care about doing anything but studying and schoolwork in high school.

Already signed up for a club though...



Anime club...


:D

Studying harder is one of the things I'd do differently so if you're already doing that you're one up on me :-p
