Does your first forum still exist today?

:lol:

 

at least he's not wearing chain mail...

No, I deleted it because I had the option of doing so on invisionfree.

 

First forum still exists (from November '08). Same software and domain. Though we may be changing the domain name and rebranding it as part of migration with a larger site.

 

I deleted my first forum cause there was like inactive.

 

Yep, but it's in a greatly different form (and technically a different forum altogether). RCTgo was originally founded in January of 2005 under the name Belloman Studios on InvisionFree. I eventually restarted the forum with MyBB PR2 on a real hosting account. At some point we changed names to RCTgo. We changed URLs several times. We eventually obtained rctgo.com, until that expired and we lost control of it entirely (Chris, you should remember those issues). We were offline for a few months (hosting account was still there, just no domain). We reemerged with rctgo.net, and over 4 years later, here we are today.

 

Ah, I see. Did you make any attempt(s) to revive this community?

 

I remember that, Justin.

Neat little history you have.

 

The first forum I was serious about exists today and is my main forum. Another forum I was serious about I sold due to time constraints and it's still kicking along.

In between the first forum I was serious about and now, I have many failed forums that I've long since trashed generally just due to lack of time for promotion.

 

Nope. My first forum got hacked and I didn't have the time or patience to get it back under my control.

 

Did you delete them, or sell the database and domain? If I decided to give up on a forum I would try to find a buyer first.

 

That's no fun. Was it a fairly active forum?

 

Nope. It was an IPB 1.3.1 on a free Lycos account. Initially wanted to transfer the database, when I shifted to payed hosting. Sadly, I accidently some important tables, when I was exploring PMA for the first time :lol:

 

I remember Lycos! Are they still around?

 

"Nope, I accidently the database. I was sad."

This is some kind of 4chan/failblog/internet lingo type thing, correct? I see too many people doing this now, it's hard to tell if they were doing it on purpose or it was a typo, lol.

 

Yes

 

No it went bye - bye a long time ago. And I spent a lot of time working on it. I wish I knew 1/2 of what I know now and my current sites would be a lot further along.
