    Hmmm..well, I guess k9bsl would be my first forum, although I did not build it, not one little bit. My good friend built it with another friend of his, who recently pulled a not so cool stab him in the back totally two faced stunt and well, I got promoted. Its a little over a year old, and I have been running it for the past few months, with his technically help and advice. I am trying to get my own officially first forum up right now, but having some major issues.

    Oh and for the record my first forum was Called Doberman Parade, It was an IPB free forum Migrated that to an IPB premium 2. something.. then decided to really get into the big time and migrated yet again to 3.8. Beta2 and changed the name to Doberman Chat for SEO purposes.. A few months later made my first real blunder and moved to vB4.0 That forum just celebrated its second year online on the 10th of December.. Now we are just waiting for a few essential plugins to become available and we will forever turn our backs on vBulletin altogether and make the switch to XF.. :D Ive already moved one of my smaller communities to from vB4.something.. to XF beta 3 about a month ago and activity is already on the rise.. New registrations not so much but its a start right?

    My first forum I was just thinking about GamingIslands first release in 2008, but Xavi-Studios was doing it for me, I was not always active because I hired 2 admins to help around I knew for many months, we exchanged numbers so they can call me if any problems, and I trusted them until domain expired this year. -.-

    But yerh Xavi-Studios survived a good 2 years online and had over 100k posts and around 40-50k threads, It was a small community for the first 2 months but overall Xavi-Studios was my most successful forum, After expiring late this year, Xavi-Studios is still a legend on many communities one of them was otaku and ragezone.

    To be all honest, if it hadn't gotten spammed and it would have grew like it was, it would be what and what with Forum Promotion.

    First forum > mysouthernlady.com>southerngazebo.net>thegazebo.com>gblcreations.com which got sold (database only) when it died as far as members. Btw, www.gblcreations.com still exists, just no forum there. Took over five years to get from beginning to end.
