Hello all,
So ForumOnline has arrived back on the Internet again. I never thought I would see the day. It is however even more challenging now than nearly 2 decades ago as now we have mobile phones overtaking computers. We have the likes of Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube and many more doing so popular now so it did occur to me several times if ForumOnline was ever going to work again.
In 2006, I was on MySpace (the old Facebook really) and thought of a good idea to make my own interactive website. I got inspired by many Internet forums and make one of my own. We did quite well as we formed a lovely bunch of people. So many user names to mention and hopefully they return in the near futures. User names like Sawyer, Spaceyrella, Crazy John and JustMarc was only a few to mention. We even had a famous user called Harry Fielder. He appeared on TV shows like Doctor Who and On the Buses.
Sadly, a few years later... I closed the forum down because I didnt honestly think it was needed until possibly now.
2020 arrives and the Coronavirus takes us by storm and taking so many lives. Business struggles and we suffer huge financial loss. So the reason, I brought ForumOnline back was because of the following reasons. To support businesses and create a free advertising hub for them. And to also have the chance for peoples voices to be heard on various topics all in one place. I will also give people the chance to Win Prizes. It just makes me feel good and that I'm doing something. So please enjoy ForumOnline for what it is and make this friendly chat forum that it used to be some years ago.
Thank you.
