not sure it was exactly a forum, but there used to be a webcomic review site called something like "enter the dream" like 20 years ago. it was structured kind of like a forum with each topic being a webcomic and then the reviewers giving their takes underneath so i figure it counts their review of Buttlord GT was amazing, sourpuss nerds with giant dragon avatars huffing that it was juvenile and sophomoric also there was an actual vbulletin on atomictoy (run by andy helms of buttlord fame) that i used to lurk, they did weekly comic jams but i dont think any remains online  e: i used to have an account on a private forum called "mens' room in the fat trekkies building". no sagas there, but its a great forum name

Famethrowa posted:my first forum experience was on the official Cyanide and Happiness forum, which not only stole the SA forum template and all of the emojis, but had it's own knockoff FYAD subforum complete with unique stylesheet that everyone hung out in. the first forum i was a regular on was joyrex.com for fans of aphex twin, late 90s. i was even a mod (lol) for a while but afaicr i mostly dealt with moving threads asking about misnamed songs (from napster or whatever) from general chat to the fakes identification subforum. i was big on customer support voice, "I think you will find that this exact question has been asked many times before, please direct further enquiries to the designated forum. For future reference, the song is called To Forgive, But Not Forget and was made by Outside. Despite the superficial similarity to Girl/Boy Song, it was not written by Aphex Twin, etc"

NoiseAnnoys posted:that wasn't the same john solomon webcomic review site was it? maybe? they reviewed a bunch of comics that made the rounds in the mid 00s but that name doesnt ring a bell e: after looking up john solomon: no it was a bunch of people, called like Ymir the Giant and Fiddlemore the Gnome or whatever, big avatars, and they wrote at length about the webcomics Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 21:57 on Feb 24, 2023 |

Back when I was on usenet (I was a bit of a latecomer, so say 1996 or so), I posted for a while on various nerd newsgroups but there was this guy. Any post at all on any topic in any group would set him off to post his weird screeds about Clinton and mohammedans (ie muslims) and vaguely scientific references, always super long posts in classic schizo format, weird racist esoterica. Very exhausting. So he was a known crank in the parlance of the times and basically any danish FAQ said you should set up your newsreader to killfile that dude cause he shits up every thread years later, i was walking through copenhagen and come across a house with a whole bunch of very random posters out front, very much like the insane bumperplate cars ive seen in america. turns out that was where the guy lived. I later heard he died, and I am fairly sure I read an obituary in a newspaper at some point, so maybe he was known elsewhere as well? it was a kind of lovely house on a decently expensive lot, i assume he must have inherited it and just shitposted every day anyway at that point in time it was probably less than 1000 people total in all the danish groups, 90% greybeards who killfiled him years ago, so he was just posting into the void except for randoms who showed up. he would have loved twitter lol Carthag Tuek has a new favorite as of 00:13 on Mar 4, 2023 |
