Let Me Tell You. A Little Something About the History of the Internet (community)

Most newbies online know about Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and MySpace. and the web 2.0.

But before all that, back in 2001/2002 or so, for a while, there WAS a group of places online all the cool kids hung out at, BEFORE the web got so crowded.

Nowadays a lot of the most popular boards are set up by a company call Lithium, (i.e. The Adult Swim Message Boards or ASMB). Most boards are of the lithium variety, where its easier to decorate your avatar, messages, and profile.

But before all that shit, there was a thing called Voy Forums. A lot of cool people online used to go there, to sites that were run on the Voy Forums service. Spookyland, Oni Press, Celebrity Atheists. You name it!

The genuine decline of Voy Forums (mostly due to its impracticality and the fact that it was less easier to use HTML on) was a real shame.

The old fogey's like me know what i'm talking about when I bring up Voy Forums though.

It's where I made my internet debut. On the Celeb Atheists Forum, as "jared", and on Spookyland, as "Noomoo", and later, "Noom"...Where people both loved and hated me.
