I was in one of those pre-forum usenet forums. It was about the Chicago Cubs. One day I asked if a homerun ball had ever broken a window in one of the houses across from Wrigley Field. No one ever recalled it happening. Within the week, it happened, and we all started going bonkers over it.

I use forum to have fun with like-minded people.

1. No, don’t remember my first.

2. Because I can’t be in 1000 irc channels.

Starr Shine???? 
1. Is this your first forum? If not, what was?

Yes.

2. Why do you use forums?  

Basically as Ahhh Girl said, to have fun with like-minded people. I joined this forum because whilst I knew people who liked the Beatles, none were obsessed to the point that they would put up with my frequent in-depth rants about the fine details of the flow of Abbey Road ‘s tracklist, or whether Help ! or Rubber Soul was the last ‘early’ Beatles album. That sort of thing. 

I stuck around because I found more than I could have wished for — not only were there nuts as daffy on the Fabs as I, but they were also a bunch of fun, lovely people who were more than capable of behaving civilly to each other (unlike many other Internet haunts). It’s a wonderful community we have here. a-hard-days-night-george-9

No. The official Snopes message board was my first. I was on there when I was in middle school. I think I was on there in 05-06. The site has since moved and my posts there no longer exist. 

2. Why do you use forums?  

Gotta do something to kill time. 

 

EDIT: Apparently, after I said all this, I found out that some of my posts on Snopes do still exist.

No. No idea what my first forum would have been. I was a mod on another Beatles forum before here (that forum vanished from the face of the universe one day) but there were other non-Beatles forums previous.

2. Why do you use forums?  

See whats going on in the world, talk about Beatles. I go on 4 other forums and post very infrequently.

First and only – I joined at the age of thirteen.

Because I don’t know anybody in real life who will put up with me talking about The Beatles.

I feel like conditioner would just make my face oily, because I don’t really have hair on my face, either. I got it all lazered off and it never grew back.

Uh..pretty normal. Never had it and probably never will unless there’s some type of hormonal imbalance or some type of drug I may take in the future. a-hard-days-night-paul-10

Where would you go if you were transported back to the dawn of humanity with immortality? The immortality would included a healing factor which heals any damage you take or have taken. How would you influence the past?

TBH, there’d probably have to be a ticket system to regulate the line of people wanting to go back to the past and punish a lot of mass murderers.

Once they’d figured this out, a good deal of humanity’s ingenuity would be expended in specifically keeping things from you. Perhaps burying you in some kind of impassable object until the end of time would achieve most of this aim. They’d all know you’re there, though. Probably a religious cult about the day you burst out and boil them alive with lasers or something too.
