I hail from the backpack.tf forums, a forum that I got banned off of almost 5 years ago. I used to use the PCPartPicker forums but I couldn't stand anyone there, so I left. I also use a select few subreddits (regularcarreviews, ps2 and originalxbox) and I roam a wiki dedicated to lost gaming content called TCRF.

Check out my guide on how to scan cover art here!

I don't use any other forums. I used to go on the Tom's Hardware forum back in 2016 but I stopped using it after 1-2 months as I just didn't like it.

In my honest opinion it is 

It's easy to navigate

Has really good moderation (thanks mods ;) )

And looks good

My experience with forums goes all the way back to 2006. I got my first PC in 2000 and I had internet access back then as well. I didn't start actually posting on forums till 2006. Till then I just lurked on them and read peoples posts. I visited many forums and I can't remember them all now. The first forum I started posting on was the old Gamepro.com forum. From 2006 to about 2008 maybe 2009. I got banned from that forum multiple times, more than I could count. Eventually they just had me put on perma ban which meant every time a member found out it was me posting under a sock account they would report me and I was banned instantly. By then I no longer cared and I was just going there to troll. 

 

Then I spent a while posting on the Gamespot forum.

 

I started posting on Toms Hardware in 2016 when I built my first gaming PC, mostly for help and advice. 

 

I posted on a few alt-right forums. 

 

I even posted some on reddit. The dead mall subreddit, but I mostly went to reddit to troll. 

 

I don't really care for Reddit much.

 

I started using this forum not too long ago. I was looking for help on Tom's Hardware and nobody responded so I came here. I mostly come here for help with my PC or advice on hardware and so on.

reddit, but only r/lingling40hrs and sometimes r/chromeos or r/galliumos for random kroambox shenanigans

 

and the forum for the game rpg mo, but thats just for bug reporting and suggestions and i could use discord just as well for it

 

all of these have pretty nice moderation so they arent shitholes

Don't forget to use the "Quote" feature or mention me ( @Gegger) if you want me to see your reply!
