and how do you think how much the forums have changed and what's your favorite section of the forums? OTD, Art, RP, Fanfic, etc. and why. Also what is your favorite memory from the old forums?
I joined in 2014 I think.I lurked for years, since 2009 or sometihing. And I didn't really have favorite section but I usually went on the OTD a lot and the Art forum. Mainly because on the side there would be the most recent topics and I clicked on whatever I thought was interesting and most of them were from OTD and then I liked looking at Art (I;m such a stalker XD anyone who does the Art forum though, don't worry XDD, I just looked at random stuff) I guess in April or something in 2014 I think it was Pik0chu or Ghost something I think. IT was just a fun, very quickly moving chat thread and I had a lot of good memories on there. But later on that year I got together with Southern Star, Icedheart, Bleak Fang, _Starlight_, Dark Moon, and a few others and I got some good memories from those too.

I think I joined these new ones in August of last year or thereabouts
The old ones I was a part of from day one, like we're talking 2008 or something crazy like that

I remember you as pik0chu!
I joined in May 2011 I believe Back in the day, I spent my time 100% in fanclans in my clan FireClan and we had such great memories there When they updated the forums the first time, a lot of my members left the forums and we were really the same from then on, so mostly from 2014, I have spent my time in Otd but I dabble in otrp and fanclans occasionally I always say that I'll get back into fanclans but I haven't yet xD

i remember lurking around on the old old forums quite a while back, i mean i lurked for about a year and a half before getting an account when i finally got an account though was like the summer before the switch to hoopla and i remember the protests about it lmao though even from the start i was an otd kid, but for a while i did rp quite a lot and i was NOT good at it
i used to be jayfeather_hatake, and im honestly really glad i got that account banned (for saying i was thinking about leaving, nonetheless) because oh my god that name is cringeworthy just thinking about it but once i got banned i was like "hoooo boy i gotta get back on here i still have friends here i cant leave them" and then i came back a few days later as onewordtyler on a different account on my first one i thiink i was close to being smbu, i know i was a starclan leader then on my second i think i made it to like idk clan leader before the shutdown

I was a lurker for about four years before joining May 2k16. Nothing like 2012 WCF but it's relatively the same except for your typical fads and phases since then.

technically February 20th, 2010, but I felt guilty (I didn't ask my parents first, and I lied about my age so they wouldn't have to fax in a form), so I deleted the email and immediately forgot my password
I still lurked, though; I lurked since 2009, though I didn't know at the time that it was so new
made the wcf version of this account on March 14th, 2011 (edit: for what it's worth I also lied about my age this time but I had parental permission to do so and eventually changed it to the date I use as my birthday which only makes me the wrong age for about a week each year)
as far as changes…
I know initially there was no Art Forum; people were supposed to put art in OTD, but most of them put it in Warriors Manga, especially the comics/GNs…since Manga was otherwise pretty inactive, this made it very easy to find "mangas," but it also meant that people were breaking the rules by posting them there
then they made the Art Forum but from then on images were disabled in OTD (until the 2013 update)
of course, back then, the forums looked pretty similar to how they do now…I do remember that there was a separate page for the posting window (fortunately I joined after "snail mail" ended, though), so of course the "Your message was successfully submitted" was my "most visited website" for a long time
and then they were red and blue with rounded corners for a while, and the red really hurt my eyes…then in 2015 they made the boxes all the same shade of blue, and that was hard to navigate, and also BBCode stopped functioning
back in the day the forums were very RANDOM XD, and each subforum was like a little exclusive club (I did Not Belong in OOTS so people flamed me whenever I posted anything there; eventually I gave up); OOTS especially used the OOTS board as a chatroom, so their threads kept getting moved to OTD, and the OOTSers hated the OTDers
Mercy was president of the forums? then they got banned, but eventually they came back, but everyone kept talking about the ban, so they got banned again? I think?
for years, you could be banned for mentioning that LGBT+ people existed, including having characters or coming out, and I have no idea how they never got me for that
the mods were very inconsistent about the rules, hence the Ghost Rules, and they only got more confusing over time; here there's been some difficulty, but it's been smoothed out rather than denied (…for the most part)…like, on the old forums, they just up and decided zombies were too adult, and they responded to one of my emails telling me that they would not ever clarify a rule or Ghost Rule
it was very common to have a "GN" (graphic novel), though most never got past about three pages; this declined fairly steadily
banner shops
the relationship with the mods, too…and the forums being powered by hamsters that ate brownies
not sure about my favorite memory

I joined April 26, 2016. I was known as Vixen Claw back then. The places I hung out the most was OTD, Art Forum, and Fan Clans. my favorite memory honestly was the last few minutes before the forums closed. Everyone was acting crazy and it was fun.

I joined around four years ago. I used to lurk on FanClans a lot because I loved to RP. These days it's more OTD and FanFiction.
I think my favorite memory from the old forums, while maybe a little taboo or cliche, was my first mate. He was like a best friend more than anything, and he felt the same too. We were just best friends and RPed together a lot. He was so nice and really funny, and when he said he had to leave the forums a year later it was really sad. But my time on the forums with him is a very fond memory of mine. He was my first forum friend.

I joined back in August 2010. This place has definitely changed a lot, but I think it's largely cause of different rules/mods and having an older user base. I mostly hang around OTD these days although I don't post much. If I ever find the motivation I might go back to OTRP or WFF, I loved those on the WCF and I miss my Snowkit fanfic.

Theres been a lot of characters on there over the years, I hate it when people just delete unique usernames or just leave because thats the end of them forever. I lost contact with lot of great poeple like that.
Thought I would take a trip down memory lane and revisit the remaining of the childish choas of a conflict that occurred on WCF in late 2011. Good times.
