40. My current account is from 2006, but I had another long forgotten one from not to far after the forum started. Think my "handle" might have been Jazz or something like that.
Kids don't really use forums anymore. This was really an invention of the early internet. Now it's reddit, instagram, tik tok, etc.. Basically, internet users are now using decentralized social media in lieu of forums.
You'll also find the internet is a lot more fractured based on political views. For example, QAnon is where you'll people of a certain political persuasion talking about sports. However, it's rare to find a group of people of many political persuasions discussing one topic, such as hockey, these days.
