what made you sign up to your first messageboard?

[hippy fascist]

Seriously, it's a wierd thing to do but once you start posting on a regular basis it becomes as normal as any other part of your life.

For me it was getting back into comics after a long hiatus and wanting to ask people questions about what was going on. Sadly comics aren't that big in the UK and none of my mates were interested in them.

I originally signed up over at comicbook resources as it was a more comics themed site and I liked the layout of the main page. Sadly their forums suck so I came here and the rest is history

So fellow hypesters, what made you sign up to your first forum and what was forum was it?

 

[Kid Wicked]

I don't remember my first messageboard.

If it was this one, I joined for the TB back in the day.

 

[vindrow]

My first message board was mine back before the internet..when it was just a bunch of BBS's.

 

[Super Kal]

this was my first message board... I joined because it was a place where I could talk with other people who liked the things I liked to talk about.

 

[The Storm]

Mine was a Harry Potter one about six years ago. I still go there from time to time, its a lot quieter than it was when I first joined. Its a small one so its like a community, I like that about it.

 

[CyberFaust]

2 words: STAR WARS!

 

[tzarinna]

I don't know which was my first.
I do know which one I posted on regularly was for Duncan Sheik. No one I knew is into him and I wanted to talk about him and find out what he was up to.

 

[black_dust]

My first one was probs the offspring message board many many years ago

 

[Movies205]

Back in the day 2001... So probably 6 or 7 years ago I use to post on the gamefaqs boards back when I really big into games and I use to post on the movie boards there too... Then of course my interest wained... but I use to post in the Life,Universe, and Everything forum... Now those were crazy times... Apparently some girl killed herself from that forum a couple of years after I left I use to post on the Dragonlance board.. HometheaterForum... I've posted all over the place these last couple of years... So I suppose it was simply to talk to other geeks since most of my friends aren't geeks... I don't know really anyone else who's into comics, movies, etc... like me... Because most of them are fat annoying sweaty, and wierd

Smallville and the chance to write adult fan fiction.

 

[Immortalfire]

This was my first, and mainly to hear what was up with the coming Spider-Man movie.

 

[04nbod]

it would have to be for star wars episode 3 i forget what site it was.

 

[echostation]

i wanted to sign up because people were offering ludicrous choices about Ben Affleck, Chris O'donell and Ben Affleck to play Spider-Man while I was suggestion Jake Gyllenhaal who was hardly known back some years ago.

 

[eat aliens]

I joined back in the days of Spider-man Hype, mainly because none of my friends care about comics or comic book movies.

 

[Spider-Bite]

My first was Sony Pictures Spider-Man. My second was Star Trek censor Sweep, and my third was Shhhh Community Forum.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

This was my first and now I am scared to leave
I joined because I was an extra in the first spidey movie and the leaked Green Goblin picture had me in it

 

[Dr Lee]

Really? Cool... which leaked picture was it?

My first time was about four years ago and it was a Stargate site. I joined to be able to get more info on SG-1 and to be able to natter about the episodes...


I am now on probably about 15 different forums now ranging from Sci-fi to 3D modelling to A anti-cult forum.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

lets see it dew.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

My first messageboard was one dedicated to an R&B group back in 1996. Later, after the first X-Men film came out, I joined IMDb. My fascination with CBMs on the silver screen grew and inevitably brought me here (once Spider-Man Hype! was launched).

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

I don't have the leaked picture. It was the first one of the Green Goblin and SOny asked Mirko to take it down.

 

[Alexia Dark]

Basically, to discuss my favorite show, which was, at the time, Highlander: The Series. The messageboard was, I believe, HighlanderWorldWide forums.

 

[Super Kal]

my first forums I visited the most were the Superman and Dragonball forums, but I'm now an all around kinda guy

 

[Asteroid-Man]

My first was Star Wars but I got banned (haha, that was awesome...) then there was theForce.Net. I went to the first to discuss ROTS right after AOTC came out. Then I posted manips over at TFN and when I heard some news about X3, I joined the Hype to tell everyone. I would always come over here to read (especially LS and TNC's posts) and then I became a regular

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

When i first went onto a message board,it was by accident actually.

 

[Super Kal]

lol, yeah... what drew me to this site though was a promotion from G4tv.com... it was right before a commercial, and they were saying what this site was all about. Five minutes later, I was hoked to this site.

It was really cool to see this site get publicity.
