Ja sa bong Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Forums used to be very popular until social media sites with its competition pushed it back so hard. A lot of people left forums and moved to different social media sites. New people never had the interest to give forums a try. When you started using forums, what made you interested in forums?

Knight Plug Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 That's a good question. It is like stating the obvious, but forums basically introduce you to people who share common interests. But of course, my time on such communities wasn't always great, with trolls being a big issue from the jump. Giving how this Australian guy has been bothering me for years, I don't recommend using the same ID everywhere you post. But in the last several years, they have lost most of their activity. I don't get many responses to my threads any longer. I appreciate the people who do reply, though. When I found I was bored, I did occasionally return to GameFAQs, where the reception was surprisingly better, with plenty of replies being submitted the same day. The layout looks outdated, in my opinion, and you still get the odd user attempting to bait you to get mad. I tend to not reply to them, as you just aren't gonna be swaying their views. I can normally get the gist of why they act like that early on, when they say "Oh, you posted this with a new account" and whatnot. They like to say stuff in the hope you get caught off guard, so they can pass you off as being a liar or contradictive. When an opinion is supposed to be subjective, it shouldn't matter a toss what you post about, so as long as it's on point, and you aren't being a jerk. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpvr Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I’ve been interested in forums ever since I first got involved with them as a kid. The very first forum I joined was actually an in-game forum, and from that moment on, I was hooked. Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted Tuesday at 12:01 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:01 AM Been apart of forums since forever because of the communities where the people I interact with share mostly the same interest in something. Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted Friday at 04:33 AM Share Posted Friday at 04:33 AM I like discussing where I am more appreciated, and forums give me that feeling. I don't even worry much about doing any other thing as talking with friends that I've made on forums is everything to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
