original forums;
this forum was originally created by tomorrow's hero to replace the official warrior cat's forum, a forum dedicated to the books by erin hunter. the original forum was created on the 13th of june 2009 (hehe, the day after my birthday), and had many different boards, and featured many different things, roleplaying being one of the main things. at the time of it's closure on the 12th of august 2016, it had 111,689 members. there was mixed speculation on why exactly the forums were closed, a screenshot of the post announcing the forums closure can be found here.

*saying .com, .net, etc on the end of a site's name
*telling people something like "google this and it'll be the first result"
"aecroposting" (posting on old threads) is not allowed.
(A thread becomes old after one month. do note that if you bring back meaningful discussion [i.e. your post isn't spam and it brings up a topic not discussed before, it is okay.])
