How old were you when

[PandahFish]

You created your first forum or blog? I was 14 years old. I was able to receive help from an Administrator who I met on another forum . Making this topic makes me miss the joys about running a forum.. and the sad music playing from my phone is not helping. :shady: But just like most new forums, my activity skyrocketed.

I think I was about 16? I created a forum for fun buy unfortunately it did not go anymore. Over time I gained many experiences and it was a great learning opportunity.

My forum lasted for about two years, one of my staff members was trying to steal my members on his new forum lol.

The forum i run was a christian forum and it was at the age of 21 i think. Did well in the run but had to put a stop due to insufficient fund to renew my domain

Good question - probably about 14 or 15, it was hosted on freeforums!

Well, I did not create a blog or forum when I first got into the webmaster world.
I was actually 7 or 8 when I started to code my own websites. Very young. So, I been doing this stuff for a very long time.

I actually only got into forums only a couple years ago. After my previous network had to be sold off I got into forums and then joined WebGuruBB. Last August I became the new owner

Did you use ForuMotion as well? I think their service is good for beginners.

Nope, never used those and didn't hear about them until I started out properly.

I was 14, and it was about Warcraft 3 Modding, I was so happy to have it and worked on it day in day out

I think I was around 13/14 when I first created a forum. Back when I was playing a game called Habbo Hotel I created a forum about it. It was actually pretty active seeming how silly I was and how I pretty much had no idea what I was doing. The memories are great but the forum wouldn't of got successful.

14. So 4 years or so. I created a teen job site. It ran off Joomla and I'm not sure whether it was bad plugins or a terrible host but the whole database / site crashed around 3-4 times.

Seems like we were all pretty young when we created our first forum. Lol I like that.

By crashed do you mean like hacked ?

No it simply produced error codes that resulted in having to reinstall Joomla around 4 times. I haven't been hacked in a while (probably a couple of years now) so fingers crossed.

Ew, Joomla.

Probs 16-17 or around then. I can't remember. xD

 

[Sam1]

Ew, Joomla.

Back in 2010 Joomla was fantastic. This was before they did a rapid revision sequence and had weirdass version numbering.

There are so many security loopholes in it now.

I was around 15 when I created my first forum and it was a free forum that I used which I can not remember the name of however it was 13 years ago. I remember I created it to go with a fan website I created which was created on Geocities which I believe is no longer around.

My first serious forum was launched in 2013; it was called Imtalks (imtalks.net) and it was about internet marketing. I sold the forum eventually. My age was 22.
