Nope, don't have TikTok

What sites could you never go without?
I don't think there's such a thing as a site I could never go without, but sites I'd be disappointed if they weren't available would be the various forums I frequent, and resources such as DuckDuckGo, Amazon (though I try to use it as little as possible), and a few others. My daily browsing is fairly routine stuff, so those would be the sites I would like to keep alive 🙂
 
Do you like tacos?
Not really, but then I'm not a big meat eater to begin with. Not a moral thing or a vegetarian thing or anything like that, I just generally don't like meat.

What do you like to eat
Pizza's a strong favourite, though obviously in moderation. I like simple foods mostly, so apples, bananas, a nice cheese sandwich, marmite and cheese sandwiches, spaghetti, baked ziti, yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes...snack foods, too...bad with snack foods.
 
Who am I most jealous of and why?

That's easy -- BeardMeatsFood, because of that glorious beard and his ridiculous gastronomical feats.

Who in this wide world is unfamiliar with The Great Gatsby? 😀
 
What was your first forum?
The first one I joined, or the first one I ran?

The first one I joined was a small community dedicated to the Sega Mega Drive, it spawned from an old usenet group and it was running a software I don't remember the name of. It eventually migrated to UltimateBB/UBB, though it sadly died off not long after that.

The first one I ran myself was an EZBoard called No Mercy Gamers, it was dedicated to GameShark Code Hacking of the N64 game WWF No Mercy. Code hacking was a lot of fun back then and a lot of people were into it, so I made a little forum for No Mercy code hacks and released my own codes through it. Everythign from custom clothing for characters to new moves and even new match types and arenas. It was fantastic fun and it had a fun community surrounding it!
 
WHen did you first hear about Fourms?
 
WHen did you first hear about Fourms?
I first stumbled into the forums in 1995/96, I joined a site that had a forum attached to it, had no idea what it was how it worked and started learning as much as I could about forums not long after.
 
What did forums offer back then
They were very basic, and very few of them were threaded like they are today. The best example left on the internet, and even this is a bit too modern for what was around back then would be FunkBoard: https://funkboard.co.uk/forum/ quite a few looked like this, but had fewer features.

Oldest fourm that you think it's still running today
As in the forum running the oldest software that's still online, or the oldest forum still running? I've seen some from '99 and '98 still online, using newer software, and I've seen forums that still run vBulletin Lite and UBB 5, so either could apply here.
