I was around 19-20- some friends had found the Gaming-Age forum and had been telling me about it for a year or so, but I held off and stayed on Usenet newsgroups for a while, lol. Started posting there in 2000 or 2001 and have been on various splinterboards ever since. Pretty crazy.

Pouring one out for the good ol' days, pre-NeoGAF, when that forum was fun.

Just video game subs like rec.games.video and alt.games, IIRC.

Post by: tiesto on November 10, 2020, 05:06:03 PM: I remember a few years back, Mama Robotnik had one of those threads where he was posting a bunch of embarrassing old Usenet posts about old console wars in a "the more things change, the more they stay the same" way... and an anti-N64 troll post I made when I was like 15 was in there :P
