The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Carpe Mortem]

Deviant art and a poetry forum for me, then newgrounds and a snake breeding/exotic animals forum. Then I did a play by post d&d forum (guildportal faerun taverns) before moving to music banter, finding them too gay, and settling here as my mainstay. Still check out the music banter occasionally but I think everyone really needs to get laid there, the cyber flirting is obnoxious.

/b/ was an intermittent thing until about 5 years ago.

CiG does come across as an old fuck. growing up in the outback weathers you before your time.

Same with Slayed Necros. I thought he was in his mid 40s.

Not sure which was my first forum, either the Blind Guardian forum which I joined 1999 or some Counterstrike forum for 3D modelling/skinning (modding a mod ) which should have been at the same time as I started playing CS in 1999 too.

The first forum I was ever truly a regular of was an emulation forum. I made some lifelong friends there that I went to visit last year (they live in the US). I've also been active on various gaming forums and an INTP forum (though I think the MBTI is kinda bullshit now). This is really the only forum I check up on anymore though.

Gamefaqs and mtgsalvation were my first two I can remember.

tangentially related but I hate how the card comment/rating feature on gatherer has been broken for literally years I used to love reading people's comments on cards even though I barely even play the game.

Guess BarrysWorld woulda been my first forum.

Apparently it died in early 2001. When I was 11.

Having been online and received all kindsa cruel and unusual messages since I was a child makes it pretty hard to feel sympathy for the attention whores that get trolled on Twitter and shit.

The Gunbound freeboard was the first message board I posted on. Posting on there, playing Gunbound, listening to Black Sabbath and watching porn pretty much took up my whole summer when I was 13.

i've probably mentioned this before but on CS source i have over 2500 hours playtime and 76,000+ rounds JUST on office. that's over 100 solid days of my life i'll never get back.

In years 9 and 10 I had about 60% attendance at school because I occasionally get migraines and people are gullible as shit but really it was just de_dust.

Luckily alcohol and sex and guitar took over towards the end of year 10 so I don't have to live in basements.

i decided to completely stop playing when i realised it was a genuine addiction and that i was opening the game just instinctively sometimes without even making the decision to play it, and was no longer enjoying it

Get addicted to hard drugs, you pussy.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i feel like that's a pretty rigid definition of addiction they're using, but if not then yeah i wasn't addicted at all. maybe more of an obsessive compulsion.

I joined black-sabbath.com in... 2004 I think? Then herzeleid.com in 05, and the now-defunct Wizards of the Coast boards in 06. Then here in 07. I joined Mtgsalvation two or three times but they were no fun. I got permabanned each time because I constantly voiced that newer Magic was starting to suck and apparently that was "trolling". Mtgsalvation was AIDS.

Use Magiccards.info. Anything Wizards does online blows.
