I was a fool for being invested in it in my early days

At least you can see it now.

You know what? Screw it — I was once invested on a couple of Spanish-speaking forums called CdC and RetroGaming, which were warring with each other over the pettiest shit imaginable and even (I kid you not) ran their own spy networks on each other because they were super paranoid. Both had other enemies, too.

They were a cesspool and a dumpster fire respectively and I still don't know why I stuck around on either for as long as I did.

I had the inverse, encountered too many xenophobes so I just never tell people about myself lol

Damn, you could even menaced them with placing bombs in their houses lol.

That’s caveman stuff, we got satellite lasers now.

Come to think about it, some of the most fucked up things on the internet come from retro sites XD

And I'm saying that as a proud RetroJunk veteran XD

What do you think is the pattern? :(

No clue.

There's a great article on the history of RJ.com over at Retro-Daze that does a great job of explaining it, however.

One of the worst ever forum browsing experiences I had was on NintendoLife, there was a user who would constantly antagonize anyone that likes M-rated games or games with M-rated characters in them (like smash bros having Bayo or Astro not having Bloodborne), gave the entire forum a huge headache. I’m not sure why he calmed down recently, I could only presume he eventually got punished for it.

NintendoLife was a forum? I always thought that was something like IGN, Vandal, 3DJuegos or Meristation but focused to Nintendo.

I was active there before deleting my account, my last conversation was with this really weird kid who was defending big major companies after an acquaintance of mine lost his job, was pretty insensitive, but it signaled me to check out. I was featured on a few articles though so I had fun but it was fun while it lasted.

I was thinking the same thing, but I got mistaken with another forum with a similar name called NintendoAge

There’s definitely way too many similar forums.
I was active on JoyFreak a bit before it got invaded by bots.

Did any of you ever play Tales Of Monkey Island? Two of the sites I mentioned went to war because of the translation patches they had both made, with one even DDoSing the other...

I wish to be 10 years older just for live that war.

I know how that feels

I used to be a frequent member on Level Palace before it got quietly shut down

Sadly no, the only site similar to that I could think of is Monkey Quest made by Nickelodeon

Here's a cool consolation prize: http://web.archive.org/web/20060510060339fw_/http://www.lukaswebs.com/lacueva/foro1.htm

It's related, but much older.

Sometimes you dodge a bullet though, I wanted to join resetera, but those games mastered toxicity like an art form.

I wanted to join the HowLongToBeat forums but I get bored to tears any time I read whatever is on there.

Hey I'm a user from Resetera!

I mean- I don't visit there often- there's too many users replying to each thread, it's overwhelming me on how I have to read before I can comment

I couldn’t join cuz they don’t accept certain emails and I wasn’t in the mood to make a new handle so I checked out.

I used to mod around 12 forums, but now RGT is the only place I want to be in ^_^!
