hi, I’m crow! I’m 31yo, nonbinary (cie/el & she/her) and a veteran 90s/00s forum user… I miss forums.
some basic stuff about me:
happy to be here, lovely to meet you all! 
Hi and hej, I’m wren, or @synchronise on cohost and most places on the web. I’m a 33yo girl on some days (no pronouns) and a US expat living in Sweden.
Primarily I’m a game collector that likes to shout about retro games (please play Mother 1. thank you) but I also like reading SFF novels, working with programming languages and webcode, cooking, writing haiku, and birdwatching/doing native species identification. I also make art sometimes.
I’ve been on forums since the 90s/00s and moderated on GPXPlus during the late 00s/early 10s. I have not played Gravity Rush…yet.
Good to meet you all 
Hey I’m Xan (he/him), trannyman on cohost and tranny-man on tumblr, I’m 27 and my hobbies include taking things apart and breaking them when I try to put them back together, drawing, and watching bad anime. I know there are interesting things about me but for some reason I’ve forgotten them all so I’ll end it here
Peace and love 
Hi! We’re Melodica (she/it, they/them but only when used in a plural sense). We’re a 19 y/o system of various girls. We’re also on cohost @ m3l0dica.
We like writing, drawing, reading, watching older anime, and of course gaming :P.
We love Touhou, Friends at the Table, the Southern Reach Trilogy, mecha, girls, and bio/ecology, among other things. We hope to have a career in bio some day.
We’re currently playing Elden Ring, 1000xResist, and Last Call BBS; and reading Braiding Sweetgrass. Haven’t been watching much of interest I’m afraid.
We do have some forum experience, being semi-active on the Bulbagarden forums. Exited and looking forward to being here ^_^
Hi! Im Lea Im from cohost and I like fighting games and other videogames a lot, I draw sometimes and I think im alright at it. I’ve never used forums much before but this seems interesting so I hope I can get along with people
Howdy! I’m Dornath most places on the internet. I used to love forums and posting. I mucked about on the Giant in the Playground forums, guildwarsguru, and others through my teen years then social media sucked all the air out of the internet and generally made the online experience Worse (I have a Masters in media education and wholeheartedly believe this statement).
I tend to like Good Video Games, and Bad Video Games that are still Fun. I like TTRPGs and hate D&D to the point that I’m annoying about it to others. I’m also a big reader, though my dayjob is a high school English teacher so I don’t get a lot of time to do that during the school year. Also I’m Canadian, a settler living on Tseil-Waututh, Musqueam, and other Coast Salish peoples’ land.
EDIT: Forgot to mention I’m he/they

Hi! I’m Kyle. I work as a part of an indie game dev, and I enjoy writing and art. Like with many here, I’m on cohost and I started my own personal blog.
I used to be really into message boards, as they were one of my first experiences with the internet. From around 2005 to 2009 (5th to 9th grade for me, my years line up conveniently), I was active on some small friend group message boards. I called them “small-town forums”, because they weren’t like big, bustling forums with hundreds of members.
When I was a kid, I would RP on forums and make sprite comics and sprite edits and other things that were pretty cute and fun. There’s so many things that I stopped doing, like going to forums, where my brain just assumes “nobody does that anymore!” but of course people still do.
Happy to be here!

Hello! I see a lot of familiar usernames and avatars here, ahaha. My name is Renkon or renkotsuban! I live in Japan with my partner and cat, and we make video games as hobbyists. We also talk about Japanese indie games and interview developers on our blog/zine Indie Tsushin. I also have a personal site and blog that I need to update more often…
You can find me on the Fediverse @renkotsuban@gamedev.lgbt. It’s nice to meet you all!!
Hello Auldnoir, I’m kkzero. I’m an aroace bunny who likes art and computers and games and stuff. Like other folks here, I’m on cohost. I’ve been on numerous forums since my days lurking Minecraft servers in the 1.1 era.
Also I’ve made romhacks. Like this one:
Hey Hi Hello I’m Vex, and I’ve been on the fence about joining here for a while cause I’m very resistant to change and I get easily intimidated by cool people but a certain event has kicked me in the keester to try and become more than a fly on the wall to said cool people
So here I am posting from norn iron about fighting games hello
this secret to this place is that you’re automatically cool once you join so there’s nothing to worry about
SECOND NORN IRELANDER ON AULDNOIR LET’S GO?
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hi. We’re Mori (morine on cohost). It’s been a long time since we’ve been on a forum.
We like the ocean and various video games. Sometimes we write or draw. We have a half-baked webbed site if you’re at all interested.
It’s nice to meet everyone ^^
It’s ya girl Duck!
she / him, butch, black biracial, social anarchist. Fleeing cohost’s sinking ship, hope this place is less overbearingly white 
Ahoy-hoy, you may call me Wyrmriven, or Riven for short, I am in my early twenties. I am here as Cohost is going down for good . I love making art, writing fantasy/fantasy adjacent things, and figuring out the taxonomy of the monsters I create. I am also autistic, which likely isn’t a surprise.
I go by it and its, and I am a Wyvern therian. My biggest interests—other than dragons and monsters—are biology, invertebrates, and photography.
hey, i’m spiral! i’m a black trans girl from australia who’s into anime, gaming, and art. i’m working on my drawing skills and learning coding. i hang out online a lot, so if you like anime, gaming, or just want to chat, i’m your girl~
undoubtedly many of you are familiar with me based on my first post but here’s a more formalistic introduction:
i’m alyaza. i’m nonbinary, black, an internet gryphon, a coyote, and i’m now 24. i probably wrote a post you liked on Cohost at some point between my Black History Month series and my posts on racism; my essays on a variety of subjects such as Cuban agriculture and environmentalism; my observations about the queer community; or my constant reading and liveblogging of new and interesting books. the good news is forums are actually good for this, so you can probably expect that from me here too, inshallah
