Being New Here Feels Like Coming Home
July 8, 2025 at 5:33 pm
Hey all,
After a good amount of time not being happy with "modern" community platforms, and how they are managed, I got to looking for old school forums that focus on community and value vs. nonstop stock market growth.
Which landed me here. Howdy.
I'm so old I was on the Internet before AOL users were. And I used to run a phpbb based MMO gaming community - thus "coming home" here. It feels good to see places like this doing good.

Oh Honey, according to your profile, I was in high school by the time you were born. Chill with the old stuff.

Then you probably remember Usenet. I'm still nostalgic about it and would take it in a heartbeat over 99% of social media.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
