o man... t'was a weird way!
i, having roleplayed on animal forums for two years, and having grown tired of writing 'paws' instead of 'hands', decided to look for human-ish places. a couple months of writing of discord, and i realized another important component of my needs was the structure of a forum!
hence i googled "oldest forum roleplays" and stumbled upon...
this site... which frankly looks like its beaming 87 malwares into my computer just by looking at it.
i was pretty dispirited while scrolling down, but felt a pang of interest when i saw a site that appeared to be over twenty years old! i clicked, and, full honesty, expected a dead forum...
but the moment i saw it was surprisingly modern ( hell~o discord~! ) and that each subforum was still getting posts---
well, i just
had to get in :P
