Does your first forum still exist today?

Does the first forum you ever started still exist today? If so, does it still have the original domain name and software package or has it changed a lot from it's original inception?

 

That's a no for me. The very first forum that I ever created was on FreeForums.org I believe. I think it got to about 200 posts, then I just stopped or something

I can't recall the name though, I will try to keep thinking.

 

Yes. Pisoga I redesigned it when I got reigns of it.

 

No I can't even remember what the name was on my first forum. But it was an free forum on sites like freeforums.org

 

My first forum was a pet forum on a free forum provider, back in 2007. I cannot recall which one though.
In November of 2007, I gave up the free forum and relaunched on my own domain name with IP.Board (first "real" forum script I ever used) and it did fairly well. It really had great potential, but I got the idea for my Linnie forum in January 2008. I spent all month deciding what I wanted to do, and I ultimately ended up closing the pet forum down to open the Linnie forum in February of 2008.
I started the Linnie forum on MyBB but it took off extremely well rather quickly, so I ended up switching to vBulletin a couple of weeks after launch.

Last October, I decided to put the pet forum back up. It's sitting there on MyBB waiting for a miracle to happen: Pets-Galore.net Pet and Animal Forum :p (If anybody is interested in picking that project up, let me know ).

 

Yep, it still exists, tho I sold it. Same domain and software package.

 

That's a good question... I'll have to take a look. I don't remember the exact URL but I do remember the name.

 

My first forum was and still is MTGDarkness. It originally started at mtgdarkness.freeforums.com. It went through a few different incarnations-first getting hosting, then realizing that phpBB was shit and moving to SMF, and finally moving over to vBulletin forums.

 

Yes, it does. It's inactive, but it's still where I left it!

 

No, OnlineGamingForum.Net does not exist, sadly.

I bought it from a friend, did lots of work, purged posts and revived it and now, it's a parked domain.

 

Neat thread idea.

My first forum still does exist on the free forum host I made it on, myforumname.myfreeforum.org. It was made on April 28, 2006. Apparently "Our users have posted a total of 11030 articles" and "We have 208 registered users" before we moved the whole forum (started from scratch because I had no idea how to use ImpEx) to vBulletin and a real domain in September 2006.

 

Awesome!

I'd love to see the site now!

 

I did consider sharing the link to it, but it's so noob-like, I don't know if I can. :nailbite:

 

I think most of us have been there, Savage - go for it!

 

Please, do it.

 

Just post it, Savage, I may like it!

 

Lol...

 

He's constrained now. :rofl:

 

I'd post mine if I could even fine the link..But then I would be laughed at because my grammar was horrible back then :p

 

Savage, what happened to you posting the link, mister?
