So I thought it might be interesting to see where we have all been before Video Game forum wise
I don't know exactly where I started but I was on the ONM Official Nintendo Magazine Forum and when that died it became SONM .... in its later days SONM affiliated with GRcade which I joined and I absolutely love (I think GRcade was an offshoot of the now dead Games Radar forum a bit like this place is coming from Retro Gamer). I was on Retro Gamer but never had a massive post count really, I kind of forgot about it for awhile.
I also member being a member on the Screw Attack Forums years ago, and I was on a Neo Geo forum I do not remember, I was also part of a forum called ONM Haven which was an offshoot of ONM which just suddenly disappeared one day cause the bills stopped being paid, was a pain in the butt for me as I was making there podcasts and I was half way through one when it just disappeared.
I have probably been a member of other games related places that escape my brain right now.

Retro Passion was my first forum. Then the original Retrogamer forum. I've drifted in and out of Sega Saturn UK forums for years. I frequently log in to various Amiga forums and Linux user places, but the RG forum has been my longest running subscription.

The first forum I ever used was the original Retro Gamer forum. I knew nothing about forums until then! Also Retropassion - that was nuts. Brilliant but nuts! Retro Canteen is the closest I've seen to that, but still no where near RP! And the Retroleague forum, although I've not been very active there lately and seriously must give myself a kick up the arse to get back into it. I've also been an on/off forum user at Lemon64.
I'm on a couple of car forums too.
Any of you guys fancy pimping this forum on other forums?

I haven't posted much on any and only started posting more frequently on the RG forums when the band forums I posted on died. I was a member of IGN Boards, but I haven't been able to log in for years. I started an N64 Mini vote and never got to post the final tally!

Hi, I'm koopa42, I'm new to this forum lark (having never joined one before), hopefully this will be a welcoming place. I like the Spectrum, it's the greatest.

So great to have brand-new names in the community that have never been associated with Retro Gamer Magazine Forum before. Now...would you kill somebody for a million quid?

Any of you guys fancy pimping this forum on other forums? I have made an obituary post for the RG forum over on Rllmuk with a link to this place.
Didn't think it would hurt since I've seen some people over there that were definitely on RG in the past (such as Lorfarius) but disappeared ages ago.

My first forum was the community that went along with the "Maniac" magazine in Germany: the maniac forum (how do I link here? www.maniac-forum.de/forum/pxmboard.php). That magazine eventually rebranded as "M!Games" with a new forum, but it couldn't hold a candle to the original and now has less traffic than the "old" maniac forum which has still many participants. From there I started to explore more communities, mostly due to the videogame quiz I've been posting since 2014... but I'm still the most active in that old community with its ancient software.

My main memory is that it closed pretty much over night with no explanation. I used to make a One Man Podcast for the place and I had recorded one and started editing it and bang the place was gone.

Nice to meet you MrMixer, I've been told not to click on links that may be suspicious, but rest assured I would NEVER kill someone for 1 million pounds. In unrelated news, I drink tea and am partial to snooker, not 128k snooker mind, the actual game.

I'm Sephiroth81, also known as Sep, Seph, Sephitroll and DCRip.
I'm here because I was told to join, and I'm weak, and enjoy any excuse to pick on imbeciles like EDITED.
I'm just going to jump in here and say: LEAVE OTHER FORUM SPATS IN THE OTHER FORUMS. THIS POST WAS REPORTED. I'm not interested in any further reports or responses regarding this post. I am well aware it was posted in jest... but please, not here. Thanks.
