Prior to the internet condensing into just 5 or so websites, what do you remember fondling about being online?
I remember winning a raffle contest on the old Terraria forums and getting to pick my own title (instead of just New Member, Member, Well-Known Member). Of course, since I was like 13, I picked a random collection of letters that only I knew was an acronym of my signature on said forums.
“The Doors” fans forum in the late 90s. I don’t even remember what we talked about (it wasn’t about The Doors most of the time) but I loved the people there. They listened and responded with kindness and patience. I made several friends there and even went abroad to meet some of them in person.
That’s awesome! Most of my time on the Terraria forums was not spent talking about Terraria but just shooting the breeze with people.
