I think I was 14-15 when I started posting on GAF. I'm 32 now.

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.

Bork, where did you post on USENET? I was a regular on the pro-wrestling subs and howard stern subs.

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

If it makes you feel any better, I started off on AOL when I was like 12 and am 39 now!

EchoRin · « **Reply #12 on:** November 03, 2020, 09:38:38 AM »

I think I started posting around the age of 14? Gamespot forums baby lol

We would have threads dedicated to ourselves for every 10,000 posts

I have folks that are acquaitants at this point from 99/2000. They're all more famous than I am now tho so we don't keep super in touch.

My first forum experience was on a sonic fan forum, talking about vidya with furries that were, looking back, grown adults.

Yeti · « **Reply #15 on:** November 03, 2020, 11:12:08 AM »

A Sonic fan forum?

My first forum experience was a much more dignified Earthbound fan forum.

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #16 on:** November 03, 2020, 02:00:11 PM »

First place I posted was Rumble City, part of the NURB family of gaming forums [along with Blast City and Shock City]

team filler · « **Reply #17 on:** November 03, 2020, 07:04:10 PM »

ign boards, then gamers.com forums when egm had their messageboard there

they allowed users to make their own boards and there was lots of fun with that

early 2000s

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #18 on:** November 03, 2020, 07:06:46 PM »

i started mostly on usenet (alt.games.final-fantasy, rec.arts.video.*, etc.) and rotated thru the UOSSHP/RPGamer forums, GIA forums, GAF, etc.

I don’t regret never knowing anything about NeoGAF, but I would be unhappier if you guys weren’t in my life.

Shuri · « **Reply #25 on:** November 10, 2020, 02:55:27 PM »

I started posting on neogaf back in the dreamcast days. So around 2000 or so.

tiesto · « **Reply #27 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
