What other forums/messageboards have you been a part of?
#6
Not really that much to be honest and trying to keep as steady as possible. Besides I rarely post in forums since simply I don't have much to say or want I want to say, can't really say it.

Sonic Vegemite (dead AFAIK) - This was a hoaxing website where you posted Sonic based hoaxes ran by an Austrailian and they had a forum, it was okay back in 2005. There were some friendly people there but then again I only stayed at the hoaxes section. Besides despite the name, they hardly talked about Sonic at all and it was a really tight inner circle that couldn't get into.

SMSPower - The more technical side of the two Master System forums, didn't say much since they are really smart people there who research the console, the owner dumps the ROMS from cartridges and even categorises everything from the covers to the exact ROM chip used.

SMSTributes - The more carefree side of the two Master System forums, again didn't say much and they are again a really tight inner circle to crack but if you play Master System games a lot it is okay.

Pixeltendo (predecessor to tSR forums, now more or less dead) - I only stayed at the Submissions part of the forum due to that in the forum you had to have a certain kind of humour to fit in there so it was not really a full picture. Some people really liked the forums and some didn't to the point where the forum was split into two. It was strange since if I joined the forums way back from the beginning, it was a different and calmer atmosphere.

tSR Community - [For people who might not know, it is a sprite/texture/sound effect/model ripping place] Like with Pixeltendo, I stay at the Submissions part but it is friendly enough but in the future, it might be getting less and less due to less sprite games (Pokemon/Mario & Luigi are now in 3D) so the place is getting more quietier. There is also sprite creations as well that are pretty good but no good at anything creative.

Sprite Database - Barely posted at all since let's just say the game that I was ripping from was not suitable for the site even though it didn't say in the rules. Oops. Anyway, it is a quiet place but not really for me since it is more anime focused.

Here (VGFacts) - Newest forum that I have joined, it seems pretty good so far but have a hunch that the old out of place scenario is going to kick it. Yeah, nothing bad here at all.

Youchew - It was originally a forum to post silly video edits on Youtube called poops but now it is the typical talk about anime/Steam games/Pokemon, Zelda, Metroid, RPGs/bad TV forum and has a Something Awful vibe there. Since I have posted there for 5 years it changed dramatically, it was at first a calm and peaceful place run by an admin from Jersey to an full American forum with some Finnish people on the side and a couple of English too. The atmosphere changed and well can't really say much but it is basically inner circle among inner circle like you have the tennis players in the tennis cafe section [and even then there are two inner circles there now, one who is strongly into anime and one into Pokemon] that don't talk to the Off Topic, vice versa and the people who do still video edit don't go to the other sections at all. It is a broken base of a forum. The reason I left was due to admin trouble and felt out of place, didn't break any rules or anything bad.

Planet Freedom (sister forum to Youchew) - See the above but only opened due to an admin conflict and now it is only open if the main forum is down.

Sega-16 - Pretty much the only place you can talk about Mega Drive [Genesis] games and has lots of useful information as well. Again, they have a tight inner circle due to the long time members so they have jokes that you can't understand and are linked too like Praise Raul [since some people really like Raul Julia there] and Mr Smith Wants You Banned so he can become President of the United States. There are also a couple of unwanted members but apart from that, it is okay but again don't really fit in there well.

There are other places that I joined but only made a couple of posts since I am more of a lurker than a poster. At one time, I posted at the TvTome forums and I was accused of being a spammer [just for posting something about AoSTH] and was going to get banned or warned but the very next day, it was wiped clean and became Tv.com so luckily I didn't get banned or warned since I didn't exist. Heeheehee.
