Got into message boards back in the '90s. First real forum was a performance car forum that had a few local members. Was really useful for tech advice, club insurance, and parts for my first Skyline project.

I joined Boddudan( an Indian website) for article writing. It accepted only Indian users. They had wonderful forum discussions there that were meaningful and knowledgeable. So, along with writing articles there, I joined their forum discussions and enjoyed it. From there, I came to know of Forum Coin and then many more.
I earned some decent money from Boddudan before it shut down. It had some great members who were experts on politics, finance, home improvement etc.

Having ti discuss things with other people is one of the things that got me interested in forums and then with the fact that I will be able to learn some news things and ideas from other peoples take on a particular topic of discussion.

I have been with forum posting for few years now and I have benefited a lot from them. Today I know more things about finance, business, poltics, entertainment etc. So, I would say that I have seen some personal growth too. I am able to engage in more variety of discussions both offline and online.

I would say that forums are a good way for me to stay engaged and productive during the free time I get. I have restricted my time to the online activities so that my offline obligations are not impacted.

Forums are a perfect place to learn about different things. With learning you can also earn and make many friends

…I’m glad that they were there for you for some of your darker moments, Astra…..and that helped you so much… on a community forum such as this, it’s good to realise and feel confident that there is always someone to talk to who is only a PM away…❤️….

I wanted to write some stuff that may be of interest to others. Gaining friends come in the way but earning something no matter how small still matters.

I think something that attracted me to forums was that I could discuss things with each other, share information with each other, make new friends, besides getting money in return for what I did on forums. :D

Joining a forum is a very good exercise for the brain. I learn many things. I also meet people from the different corners of the world and make friends with them too.
