Are you still a part of any message boards or forums? Which ones did you visit back in the day? I think a lot of the people who used forums in the 2000s have moved onto facebook groups and reddit, which take on a more formal tone - though I do think those newer spaces still output high quality content from its members. The HERInteractive Nancy Drew pc games still have an active message board but the mods on there power trip all the time!!! I remember even back in 2015 they wouldn't allow you to mention lgbtqa ships because 'sexual content' was banned  but people could ramble on about Ned/Nancy ship all day smh... That being said I love the messageboard experience and how each has its own biome hehehe

is your avatar a Furcadia portrait? I always appreciated those custom portraits; that low res, low color depth pixel art is super cool to me!
it is hahaha! 95x95 its the one i still use in-game, i still log in occasionally even though it's a ghost town now.

i honestly don't remember the forums i used to frequent, i remember being a part of a couple of furcadia roleplay forum communities etc, and a couple of warriorcats ones. now, i occasionally frequent an organic gardening forum, and a permaculture forum. (permies!) i think this is the first one i've actually posted on in years though, i mostly just lurk in others and use them to find tips and resources.
i was on a few warrior cats rp forums too! god i long have forgotten what they were though .. xP i was really into warriorcats rp'ing on furc haha. i loved those dreams when you could be a lil feral cat (before there were cat digos o_o) p.s. your portrait + site are soo cool looking (✧ω✧)
another forum i'm on besides this one is pixelgardenmb!
i also frequented oekaki boards back in the day, when they were more commonplace :-p i don't think i personally drew in loish's board (i just can't remember the ones i DID draw in), but i followed her on deviantart and probably admired it from a distance. (it was normal to see some boards have a separate 'sketch' section and you had to try out to get into the 'regular/advanced' oekaki board.) i *swear* i saw a version of this site with a really elaborate splash page, but i can't find the link now haha. https://web.archive.org/web/20040904130052/http://oekaki.loish.net/

I spent a lot of time on Coalition Forums in high school. Some of the big DBZ fan sites like King Nothing and The Cell Games banded together to create one forum that was really active for a while, but eventually the community got really negative and a lot of trolls moved in. After that I went to Black Cell forums, which was only around for a little while before the owner disappeared out of nowhere, followed by Game Rulers, which was a very small site but the owner offered to host my first webcomic for a while. Then were the ScrewAttack and Game Heroes forums. After those, I didn't visit another forum for years until finding this place. It rekindled my appreciation for forums so much that it made me want to create a forum software (that's now used on status cafe).
That's really cool! Can I ask what technology you built it on? I made a PHP-based forum years ago that was basically phpBB with a few custom features.
