The Evolution of Forums With PimD turning 6 years old this month and the new year ringing in, here's a major throwback on forums to see how they've evolved throughout the years. Throughout this thread you will see a brief history of the years of forums from 2011-2016 with quotes from forumers who were active during those times, pictures, and the popular threads of that year! So if you're the kind of person to say "TL;DR," take a gander at this one cause it's worth the read! **Disclaimer** I may be missing some forum events due to deletion or unseen threads. It was quite hard to find popular threads in each year so I only have some years listed and most of the years aren't completed lists. Some of the screenshots are also not from that specific year but still correspond to the text due to the difficulty in finding old forum screensots. Feel free to add any events, popular posts, or screenshots that you see fit in the comments. ______________________________________ 2011 Ah, the beginning of forums. Some say things were simpler where everyone knew each other and could have a fun time. At this time, the forums format looked something like this: Pretty different, amirite? That's right, you were not able edit, delete, or report posts.
