What was the first forum you owned?

[Ravenfreak]

I know I've owned quite a few since the year 2009. xD My very first forum was a Pokemon forum that was hosted on Forumotion. I was a complete noob to the game and I had no clue what I was doing. I only had 10 members and most of them were people I knew from real life. It focused mainly on modifying the old Pokemon games, and this was before disassemblies were available making it very difficult to even hack the games. Because of that, and my lack of experience it didn't go anywhere and I shut the forum down shortly after making it...

Thanks to ezBoard going under I can't find the link to my very first attempt at a forum, which is a bit of a blessing, lol. Been running forums since just before 2000, so quite some time.

Do you remember the link somehow?
If you created it before archive.org became a thing then that might be sadly unlucky then 🙁

I've looked, most ezboard links don't work anymore because they transferred them to Yuku and then onto Tapatalk, so they're just not there anymore.

Mostly financial reasons

It was called 'Chess Resources Forum'.

It was decently successful, and ran for five years - although, people hardly ever used the chess forums (and mostly just talked in the general sections 😛 ).

That's still a nice achievement 🙂

Besides VPL, I owned a Off topic/General chat forum in 2005-2006. I also owned a webmaster/admin forum in 2016.

ThePokerTalk.com was the first forum I owned. I didn't get it as big as my current forum: Poker Community, Online Poker Forums. We recently became one year old.
