What inspired you to start them?

For me, I have always had personal blogs. And I've always needed a portfolio website to show potential employers.

I make various websites of my own because I enjoy the idea of being able to communicate with the world.

I don't have my own forum at the moment, but I really like them. I like forums because of their slow pace. With chat, I feel under pressure to respond soon. I also like waking up the next day to see responses to what I've said! :dhappy:

I've had loads of different sites over the years. Graphics, fan sites, fan listings, etc. The only ones that have been constant has been this forum and my blog.

My forum I was inspired to start when I first started poking around on forums. Probably the same with my blog.

Yeah, that's fair. How old is this forum now?

Oh wow. I have changed websites/domains often over the years. Currently the oldest domain I have was registered in 2017.

Yeah I'm pretty sure those two were the first two domains I ever had. I've had a few over the years including a ferret related one. XD

Nice. Would you ever have a ferret website?

I did briefly have a ferret blog. I intended to share ferret pics and other ferret things. It didn't last long though.
