Lost Legends of the Web: A Tribute to Our Favorite Offline Forums Welcome to the Lost Legends section of The Forum Addicts Club! From the early days of the internet, forums have been the cornerstone of online communities. They've been spaces of passionate discussions, friendships, and innumerable shared experiences.
