I remember them all, but I only ever posted on NetGen.
...I believe they all got nuked during some or other forum shift (Shane has changed board formats a couple times, here)-----------maybe around 2006, 2008? It was a long ways back.

I recall HealthyForums and certainly WrestlingForums, though I can't be 100% sure of the names. Users also made their own unofficial spinoffs too, just to mess around, like a bit of a fad. I made one, Tubster did too, and I feel like DarthBowser might have.
Superbard sounds extremely vaguely familiar, but I can't say I really remember.

Only unofficial spinoffs of this board I can think of were Mad Gamers (which Abi Bear and Rich started) and Hyrulian War.

I was pretty active on NetGen. Eventually all 3 got merged into the main VGF index.
And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I forgot about WrestleForums. We had a few wrestling affiliates at the time. I used to love wrestling in the 80s and 90s but haven't watched it since. The live events were a lot of fun as a kid.

...I never posted on WrestleForums. I wish I had. I followed TV wrestling religiously back in high school, and I could talk about it for hours.
