Squid's Index of Classic Internet Forums

Post by squid »

In an effort to help preserve the hobby of participating in online internet forums, I will maintain this list of classic internet forums. As it is Squid's list, it by definition cannot be exhaustive. But it will be a list nonetheless.

In order for a forum to be on this list, it must meet the following criteria:
  1. The forum must be accessible today
  2. The forum must be of the classical style forum akin to ZetaBoards, InvisionFree, phpBB, Simple Machines, or the like. Not a reddit style forum or social media style site. It must have all of the following features:
    • User Avatars and/or Signatures
    • User Ranks
    • Individual forums organized into categories
    • Stickies
    • BBCode Support
  3. The forum must be interesting to Squid, enough so that he signed up.
  4. The forum must be reasonably active, to this day.
