    Put BBS discussion boards, FidoNet groups, and Usenet out front and drop Fark for my path. Along with a variety of standalone forums and random stuff that never went anywhere, of course :) (yes, I’m old!)

      Yeah, GameFAQs would probably need to be on my list. And lots of other individual forums on the way, but GameFAQs’s thousands of forums were huge back in the 90s.

      Or, at least, that was my perception as a child/teen.

      Usenet was one of my startng point too… Funny to think it was (in a way) decentralized.

      Edit: still is of course. Usenet is still around.
