feelme Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 My first anime forum was Anime Fushigi's forum. That place was actually alot like this place now. It wasn't a huge community, but it wasn't just starting. That's one of the reasons why I decided to join this forum. That and this forum has the sickest design and ease of use, as well as customizability for the user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhope Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 AdvancedAnime was my first... Sadly it's declined over the years. I made a few good friends there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakaath Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 My first forum is KissManga & KissAnime Community. Joined it this year on Sep 9. So this is the second forum I joined in. I'm usually a shy person but, not really. I realized that after joining my first forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauriferous Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 My first anime forum was the now defunct Anime-Nakama.com. I think I joined around 2001-2002. I still hold a lot of fond memories of that place, and I miss a lot of the people there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaBD Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Well technically my first anime forum was bulbagarden back in 99-2000. I have been on a bunch since then. Finding a nice anime community where I feel like I fit in has been a 15 year search. Edited November 9, 2015 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssjup81 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Well technically my first anime forum was bulbagarden back in 99-2000. I have been on a bunch since then. Finding a nice anime community where I feel like I fit in has been a 15 year search. I'm a mod on Bulba...but I kinda suck at modding due to how inactive I am there. I've been a member since 2003 I think. Was invited by Archaic after Upnetwork closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurrealBrain Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 NISA Forums qualify, right? Because I don't recall joining a site that focused specifically on anime before that. Of course, as a whole, I jumped on this whole forum thing rather late. I've yet to reach any that my relatives go on. If you wanna know my first exposure to anything of the sort, my older sister used to be a regular on Gaia Online. 'Course, according to her, it went to crap some time ago, and now she rarely goes there, if ever. To protect her identity, though, you don't get to know her username.

EyesofthePhantom Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 This is my first proper anime forum site. I've talked about anime on other forums in the past and once talked in an anime chat room for a very short amount of time but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frost Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The very first forum I was on was Animechains.net I joined that forum when I was around 13 years old and was there for quite some time. The forum is no longer active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoop Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I was a member of an email based discussion list pertaining to a particular anime back around 1997 or 1998, and later ran a general anime discussion list myself until about 2002. Despite being email lists, they were in many ways functionally identical to a basic forum - to create a thread, you simply emailed the list bot with the title and content of your choosing, which would then be sent to everyone on the list, and to reply you simply replied to one of the incoming emails. It allowed for the same style of conversations (apart from forum game stuff - those tend to be a bit too rapid fire for email) and community building that traditional forums do, albeit in a slightly less streamlined form. I joined my first anime related forum-forum around 2003, which was focused around Type-Moon media and was the largest (and, well, only) English language community for it at the time. I mostly lurked though, and ended up parting ways after catastrophic events led to a change in ownership and in my opinion (and the opinions of the members I was closest to) a dramatic decrease in community quality. After that I bounced between a couple forums that popped up and died down as the years came and then. After a few of those, I eventually drifted away from anime communities to other fandoms. A few years later, though, I fled in terror back to anime after having witnessed some impressive shit elsewhere, only to realize that most anime communities weren't much better than where I'd been, leading me to search up and down for a place largely lacking in things that drive me mad. Congratulations, AF. You are literally the only forum I was able to find after a great deal of poking around that I had any desire to actually be on. ... I like making unnecessarily detailed posts in response to very simple questions. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically my friend is working on a project, which is creating an anime forum, and can u guys please visit the forum, she really needs more posts!!Thx!! A certain measure of luck is needed in getting a community off the ground. In addition to luck, things like custom themes and quality forum software also help catch people's eyes. Another thing that helps is not having an invalid security certificate - if your friend is serious about trying to build a community, that is something that she should probably address immediately. Beyond that, it is often considered poor form to go onto one forum to advertise for another forum without first asking permission from the owner of the forum that you wish to advertise on. Just something to keep in mind for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish_inn_Physician Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 My first anime forum was bleachanime.org. Shame that is was infected after the admin left. They tried doing a reboot ono another site, but it was a flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megami-chan Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 The only forum I've ever been on, aside from this one, is Otonokizaka.org. It's a Love Live forum, and a very nice place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloverTea123 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) http://forum.kissanime.com/index.php i joined it a year ago, but it just died. it used to be pretty interesting, and fun, and generally awesome. even the people were awesome. it was almost exactly like this forum, it's setup exactly like this, except this one is shiny and sleek. But for whatever reason, the mods decided to get rid of the forums games and basicly anything that wasnt anime/manga related. like all you could do was talk about anime, and idk, i just felt disconnected, because you couldnt really get to know the new users anymore. the sense of community was gone. but i like this one allot because its like the that forum when it was entertaining.
