Obviously, you found Proboards. Just wondering, if you remember, how did you get started with it?

OK I've told this story many times, here is once more:
Back in 04ish I used to be really into games on the PS2 and whatnot, so I joined IGN (big gaming site). I eventually got to posting on their forums, and since Madden was my favorite game at the time, I'd post at the Madden boards there. There were these things called sim leagues where one person controls a franchise on their game and you register for it and control your team. The guy running this sim league was using a ProBoards forum, and I noticed that I could get on for free so I registered.
I created a sim league (failed), then created a general forum (which failed), and I eventually got here over the course of 5 or so years =O
My first PB forum was created in Feb of 2005

My mate started designing skins for proboards and asked if I wanted to join his forum when it was done then he introduced me to the likes of SSD and such. that was all around the beginning of 05

Some person I knew via the GameFAQs message boards wanted help running a forum. So I hopped on and started helping. It was a ProBoards forum. The board eventually died and I made my own.
That was mid to late 2002.

kk so I wrote this like in 2 secs cuz I got homework to do. lawlz.
While I was looking for a good comic website (didn't even know what a forum is back then), I stumble across my first ever forum that I joined, KMC forums. This was during the summer of 06. It's one of the top 40 (in size) general forum out there. I was so addicted to it that I got 8000 posts in less than a year. There's lots of stuff missing really.
Then in early 07, one of the member on KMC forums made a forum on the ProBoards service. Now being that I was addicted to forums, I decided to make my own, called CG forums. Didn't go off anywhere really, died in less than 2 weeks. Then I got interested in graphics so I joined many graphic sites in 07 such as Dx5, SZ, G101 , ExDat, Doodle Graphics and a couple others.

Started around summer 05. Used to roam about a forum called PlanetBoredom after a mate told me to check it out. After posting there for about 2-3 months I wanted to create my own forum, stumbled across proboards and began everything from there. Found F5 Designs, where I requested graphics and other jazz like that and got a fair few posts there but got fed up of requesting graphics so decided to learn how to design myself. And now I have found myself here, 4 years on

Got the interwebs for the first time in 04, found Skandalouz Designz (now defunct) and made a few forums (which did relatively well). Unfortunately, my internet was turned off from 06-07 so the forums whithered away without me . Then I made OI (which was extremely popular back in the day) in 07, but then Proboards shut us down for sharing files (that we legally made and were distributing. . . Stupid shit. ).

This is kinda embarrassing but whatever, i used to play yu-gi-oh. i didnt really know what a forum was back then, it was probably around late 2004. but i was just looking up yugioh sites on the internet and stumbled across a forum. i joined and started posting on it for a little bit. it was a proboards forum, but then i quit playing yugioh like 2 weeks later. but i noticed i could make forums for free on proboards. i didnt really know what to do with it, so i just found other proboard site. My first real site i was active on was called Skandalouz Designz (i miss that place), i was there for a long time, but skandalouz went into the marines and the site eventually died. but then i found other sites such as dx5. and i have been on PB every since.

Not again.. Back in '05(Remember, I didn't even know what forums were back then). I had a friend who had a PB forum [RP]. He asked me to join it. So I did. I was still a n00b who didn't know how to post, quote or put avatars. So, he told me how. After that I asked him whether the forum was free or he paid for it. [Rly, I didn't look on the bottom of the board or never realy did matter with it]. He showed me the link to create a forum, I created one and soon, there was an error with it, I soon went to support and got it fixed. Eventually, I found how to add codes and such to PB forums.. Soon, I joined another site. Another RP.. he admin was very friendly we used to chat everyday.. he soon added a gfx board to his site and I was amazed by his work. Soon I asked him how he did 'em., he replied "I do it with a freeware program GIMP". Later, I kinda' gave up on the site but was still active, and started giving help to people who ask for support for their forums on PBS. Soon, I started making my own gfx. Soon, I re-opened my site up(with a gfx/coding section). Nobody came in. I still wandered around PBS and soon found links to some great designing forums SZ, SI, Socal.. This happened in fall 2006. You can frame this up after that. Joined, joined and joined and here I am!
