Forums

I basically used the market forums to post my offers before GE.

Back in the ancient time, it wasn't easy to trade bulk items and I happened to make a good chunk of gp through trading so I just used the market forums.

Otherwise, most of the time it was just trash talk in the forums.

Oh yes... a lot of spammers too.

Lurked every section during the 2000s, nothing really stood out but ultimately landed in the Rants forum. There was so much spam/trolling after removal of free trade which got me a lot of giggles reading. Around that time the resting/sitting update was also released, which at first caused plateskirt-wearing girls to uh.. 'reveal'. A jmod had posted a stickied announcement about fixing it, and I teased her about her wording for 'sitting with dignity'.

The forum sections I originally spent a lot of time in were Quests and Clue Scrolls, since I liked helping people, and it was useful for advice at the time. Clue Scrolls in particular was fun, since you weren't allowed to post direct answers, so I used to write an alternate riddle to point to the same location. It was really fun.

I did fall afoul of the Forum Specific Rules once, though - I was fine on the Forum Code of Conduct, but the fact there were separate rules for each section had totally passed me by! That was for giving direct answers in Clue Scrolls, hence why I went to the riddle method.

* waves at Aeon *... (3 months after the fact)

Have I posted here? I can't remember...

I don't remember the specifics of my first forum experience as it was quite some time ago, but I remember I used to spend lots of time in General and Tech Support. The forums were crazy busy all the time which was good (unless you were trying to keep a thread on page 1 for exposure).

I remember seeing hidden posts just disappeared without placeholders... oh, what a time to be a forumer.

Edit: Yep, I've posted on this thread before. I thought it seemed familiar! lol ( post )

My earliest and most memorable was definitely selling ridiculous amounts of Bowstrings after picking Flax for hours on end to make them

I remember it feeling like a proper business, where there was always tons of demand and I always enjoyed meeting up with people to trade with
