I'd probably be playing a lot of video games like I did when I was younger during my spare time. Still I love forums and I'm glad I got into them.

I'm glad you could find a reason to get off them!

Let's say you never decided to jump into the forums market - what are some things you'd be doing instead and why?

Blogging and vlogging, like I do now haha.

When I took a break from forums some years back, I still kept blogging and doing video stuff.

I would likely be creating a lot more video game content if I didn't spend as much time on forums as I do now. As a gamer, I love to create content to share with others.

I really don’t know what I’d be doing if I wasn’t running forums.
But to be honest, I’d be probably working on browser based games.

I actually worked on a few when I was younger.

This is honestly a difficult question to answer, because of the forum that I started back in 2003, I discovered I had a passion for creative writing, not only a coping mechanism for unpacking emotional trauma, but also used as a tool for self-improvement. And of course, the sheer joy of providing entertainment for other people! I also wouldn't have discovered many of the anime titles that I've grown to love, the characters, the plots, the crazy chaos... I also wouldn't have learned about several of the various scripting and programming languages if it wasn't for running my own forum.
