Title: Other forums?
Post by: JMickle on November 30, 2008, 06:53:09 pm
What other forums do you go to? (Don't put up a hundred links to SA and 4chan, noboy cares about them...)

For me:

Sakari Infinity (http://www.sakari-infinity/") - Ok, I don't really go here anymore, but its still in my bookmarks, so I guess its worth putting here. Great forum for game music, requesting or posting your own. Check it out.

Fake2knet (http://z15.invisionfree.com/fake2knet/") - The last remnant of the currently-being-revived rpg2knet. (http://www.rpg2knet.com/) Anyone used to hang out on the forums there, you might remember someone!

And a couple others, but I can't remember/ don't wanna post them.

Your turn!

I tried to join many other forums but it's very difficult for me to be active since my whole mind is completely focused on Gaming World.

I have managed to stay on the mega64 forums which are cool.

Also I visit the metalgearsolid.org forums, I don't know why. Their community is full of shit and the "veteran" members know that, so they pretty much avoid em. It's pretty fun to troll there though.

When I was very young I was a huge japfag so I was a member of animegarden.com and some other shit like neonsoft.com, yaynetwork.com, darkdominion and (all) their spin offs.

Before that a friend and I ran this whole series of Gundam role playing forums that were pretty e-successful for a long time. Then one day we decided to start a Naruto one, in which a member decided that he wanted to remake it. That got closed down after two years or so, so the surviving community immediately put together this:

http://ninpocho.com

Which is this huge fucking naruto rpg board. They don't know about their secret origins but it is very shit and an embarrassing part of my persona.

I've tried joining other forums, but generally everywhere else are either major pussies (you.... you can't say FUCK in here..) or just really boring jersk.

I don't frequent all of them, but I think I'm active on almost ten forums in all. It really happened over time! It's really great because a lot of different communities have a lot of different personalities and discussion to offer. Every place has its charm.

I used to post on a reptile forum because not only was it full of great pictures but you could get answers to questions REALLY fast, and know that the advice was good.  Since I don't have anything but fish right now there's no real reason to go there, and I think it shut down anyway.

corn snakes are the best snakes to keep, they may not be the prettiest or most exotic but they're just plain SIMPLE

i like lizards more though, can't wait to get another bearded dragon (but i've got to live somewhere where i can have something besides fish first)

sometimes i look at select button cos they make topics about good games every now and then which don't pop up here as much cos the people who would post about good games don't give a shit so they don't. but select button is pretty awful. apart from that i only look at other forums if i've got some specific thing i want to read about which won't come up here.

I don't really hang on forums as much as I do anymore...which really wasn't a whole lot.

I hate them because they suck all your time away and 80% of the time your dealing with idiots...reminds me of a workplace I go to all the time.  :tsk:

This is pretty much my mainstay forum, but even then I don't post here that much...Star Ocean Eternity was another place for a long time, but I have officially left now...and don't bother to come back. The Vancouver Canucks Forum I do check out once and awhile...but that place is so much like: OMFG! WE SHOULD OF DRAFTED KOPTAR!!! OMFG!!! LU IS HURT!!! WE ARE DOOMED! ...Idiots...


Fake2knet (http://z15.invisionfree.com/fake2knet/") - The last remnant of the currently-being-revived rpg2knet. (http://www.rpg2knet.com/) Anyone used to hang out on the forums there, you might remember someone!

 :shocking: SHIT!!! That place is still around? I thought it was gone forever...the memories of first starting out...I might pop by and give them a visit...maybe a gift will be a nice parting present...the game that rpg2knet should of gotten...but didn't. Thanks for the link!  :laugh:

Post by: Doktormartini on November 30, 2008, 10:51:55 pm
Veggie Boards (http://www.veggieboards.com) - A forum for vegetarians/vegans or people interested in the lifestyle. 

Natural Cures Myspace Group (http://groups.myspace.com/naturalcures) - Not really a forum, but a group on myspace for people interested in naturopathic medicine! (This group gets annoying sometimes because 50% of the posts are spammers selling products).

Most other forums I try to join I get bored with really quickly and never return.  Other than this I just occasionally post on some myspace/facebook groups!

I might be getting a bearded dragon for christmas, my parents are just really iffy about the whole 'feeding it insects' thing.

Also I don't really go on many forums anymore, only PC Zone and GW. Used to be heavily active on unforums (ARG forum) and stuff related to that, like PXC and shit. When that all died I didn't really go to them anymore. Also used to go on a fanforum for the Heavy Gear animated TV series....hahahahha. I even drew really shit drawings of heavy gears when I was like 10. :( (It's also why my aim name is still marcus rover...fff).

Other than that I just dive into 'official' forums for patches/bugfixing/mods for games and stuff, but I don't really post on them at all.

I am too lazy to invest myself in another forum. I already have enough trouble staying semi-active here with university and work. I sometime post around the escapist magazine's forum but it's mostly to slap around a few idiots. Crazy how a site with such great articles can have such an high number of idiots on their forum.

I used to visit the TGC forums a lot, back when I was hugely into FPSCreator and whatnot.

I've been visiting the fallout3nexus forums lately, mainly because there are some interesting discussions about new mods and a TO DO list of mods that people want.

Other than that, just GW.

www.Gormash.net (Dead) - My very first rpg maker forum. A small community.

www.Rpg2knet.net - Used to go here, but the mods and staffers were humongous pricks. As an april fool's joke, one of them thought it would be cute to put up a spoof link with a Trojan in it. Fun, fun.

www.rpgmaker.net - Stable game hosting, and what's starting to look like some kind of a community.

RPG RPG Revolution (Whatever the hell that's supposed to mean) - The layout looks nice, but I can't really find the energy to give a crap about the place. I posted my game(s) there, got a few replies; but interest was probably lacking due to the fact that I was an unknown there, and it doesn't have giant breasted anime cliches, and so on.

Against my better judgment, I also lurk F13.

GW is pretty much my first forum experience.

The only other forum I visit is.

Conceptart.org (http://www.conceptart.org)
  -  This site gives me so much inspiration.  It's basically a collective of concept artists who decided to make their own website to cater to fellow artists, and enthusiasts alike.

Other than that I hang around the less retarded parts of sa, a movie forum or two (eg. rotten tomatoes), and make the occasional random post at gaming world.

Shit, I really don't remember the forum that preceded GamingW back when I was like 12, but it was some sort of setup where literally every video game ever made had its own board where people could post cheats and unknown facts about the game.  It was a really active place and I was actually the mod of the Silent Hill discussion forum and was in the running to mod FFVII, which was like the most popular place there.

Other than that I haven't really been a member of any forum other than GW.  I had a pretty successful Myspace blog (http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=206440307&blogID=353150612&Mytoken=262F6553-5D35-4228-AD48108550972BDE70139664") (if anything on Myspace can be considered to be successful) in which I spread anti-Christian propaganda on an almost daily basis.  It was a pretty funny experience, but now its decommissioned.  Once my blog got popular other people stopped reading what I had to say and started trying to use my area as free advertising for their shit.

yeah, really.  i did not do FORUMS before gw so this has basically been the only place i've made more than 100 posts on, and now other forums seem either a) incredibly tame and boring or b) far too INTERNET for me.  i don't really think i'm a forum guy!  gw is like an exception, really.

yeah me too! i actually got a copy of the Doomsday demo. i was like 11 or 12 and i thought it was the coolest shit ever because it had really consistent graphics. i realized a few years later everything was basically a rip from Valkyrie Profile. :(

what was that other game LinoG made? the comedy one with the food, sleep, and sex bars.

i came over to GW from rpg2knet about the exact same time as you did it seems. squirrel comes on IRC now tho i've never talked to him.
