When did the forums open up?

Recommended Posts

I first used the site in '99 (downloading qdoom mp3's to floppy!) and don't remember the forums being there at all. I didn't actually sign up until 2006.

Afaik, forums first opened in the very end of 1999 (the oldest reg date is 12-99), and then shifted to vBulletin in 2002(?).
But you better ask people with 12-99 reg date..

The DW forums opened in May 2000. Some people have older reg dates than that for reasons not worth going into.

There was a pseudo-forum earlier than that though, in the form of comment threads on news stories. Or was that also after 2000? It was almost pure shitposting though, either via flamewars or via useless "gotta up my post-count" messages.

Likewise. Although, for me it actually has gone past half.

I remember the comment thread days! That would've been back in '99 when I first discovered DW.

Not so much wizardry as a solemn melancholy.

It was definitely around in 1998 (as I joined back then), but later there was a change at some point to the current setup.
(and everyone made a poopie as their first post)

See, now I'm curious.

Time slips by us pretty fast, doesn't it? Blink, and a year has gone by. Blink a few more times, and suddenly it's the next decade. It scares me, to be honest.
