invictius Posted June 29, 2016 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. 0 Share this post Link to post
Li'l devil Posted June 29, 2016 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.. 0 Share this post Link to post
Linguica Posted June 29, 2016 The DW forums opened in May 2000. Some people have older reg dates than that for reasons not worth going into. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vorpal Posted June 29, 2016 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. 0 Share this post Link to post

The Ultimate DooMer Posted July 2, 2016 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) 0 Share this post Link to post
