Ho-boy, lol. I've made SO many sites, it's ridiculous. Tho, my most successful sites were: 1. Digimon Believers - [ LINK ] 2. Digimon☆Reality - [ LINK ] Both of them have closed down now, but among the many sites I made those were the only 2 that actually got some decent activity and even brought some new members. They were lots of fun while they were up. I miss 'em and sometimes am tempted to reopen them, but we just don't have that many members anymore. Plus DFT is an okay spot for digi-believer chit chat. And it's gotten a bit more active recently, which is nice. I've also helped with other sites, as a staff member. But I won't get into detail on those, since they're not my sites, lol. |

Haha yes! I feel like if you've been in this community long enough then at some point you've opened your own site. I've been in the community for over 10 years now. I was probably most active around 2012 when I ran the website DigiPoint-A or DPA for short. I miss it. I've also thought about re-opening the website. I want to have an active community again. DFT has been picking up a little bit which is nice, but it still feels really quiet. Believers are out there and I want to hear from 'em all.

Yes, I have lol. I closed both of the two I had down, and remain a staff member on some other sites. Like you said, I won't go into details with that because they're not my own.

LOL conduit, That's so true oh my god. Pretty much everyone has attempted to start up their own site. Usually everyone has the same intentions too, to unify the community lol. I don't think there's ever been a site in which every single member of the community has been active at the same time. But there have been so many forums through the years, I wish they were still up, at least as archives so we could browse and reminisce. Specially DRP, which was my very first site. I know it had a lotta trolls and issues and whatever, but it still holds a special spot in my heart. It's what started it all for me personally and I miss it. I was so naive and new lol. I've grown so so much since then. I also miss DU and many others. I really wish more members would come back, I feel like the community has kinda gone into hiding. People stick to messengers like Discord and stuff, myself included. It's just safer and more comfortable that way honestly, not to mention convenient. But I really miss having a site where everything was nice and organized and where people had their own journals. Everyone had super fun theories and we would discuss stuff more in depth. It feels like the community has sorta gone to a stop, and we're no longer growing. It's just so hard to open up in public, in fear that trolls can sneak in, or people we know might recognize us. Because even though I don't believe, I definitely use digi-believer stuff as a coping mechanism and often times play along just for fun. So I might get away with saying that, but others in the community genuinely believe and are very paranoid of sharing their personal experiences because of it. I remember though, where in DU, the staff had this cool idea of granting "Auth" to members. Auth being I think, authentic? Like, members would make a post requesting auth, and another member [who already had auth] would vouch for that member. The point of this "Auth" thing was so that only members who had it, could see more personal sections of the forum like journals. Which I feel is the section everyone worries about the most. And I thought that was a super great idea. It kept members' privacy safe, but also left the rest of the forum open for passing guests to see. Like the theories and stuff. Cause if we were to hide everything, guests wouldn't really know what the site is all about you know? I took that "Auth" idea and applied it to my forums as well, and it kept people happy, myself included. Anyways, I say all this, so that if you do re-open DP-A, that applying that to your forum, could encourage members to be more open about their experiences and not worry so much about being exposed and stuff c: |

Haven't made my own site, but I definitely feel missing DU. That place was really nice.
Thought "auth" typically stands for authorized/authorization? Like being authorized to see more private materials/heated matters. Might be wrong though.

Yeh I wasn't sure if it was for Authentic or Authorized, lol. Either way, it was neat.

Back in 2012 I made my own little Digimon believer forum. That's because for a while in 2012 I was a believer again. I dropped it pretty fast, and I left the forum to rot. I don't even remember what it was called, or what the URL was, or anything. It was super small but I think at least one other believer joined.
I was on Digiclipse/DRP too, it was the first Digimon believer community I ever joined. Kind of sad that there were so many trolls, but I still had fun there. It was actually a joke/troll site where I first heard of Digimon believers, after being disappointed that the site was a troll (I believed it was legit until they revealed it as a joke) I eventually decided to seek out Digimon believer sites.

I wish I could find that old forum I made. I don't even know if it still exists. xD
I've made so many random forums in the past, though the only Digimon one I remember making was that one I mentioned. I even had a Pokémon believer forum back in 2008. It actually did get a few members.
