Believe it or not, I "fell in love" when I was a member of a warez forum back in 2001. That was during my studies
I was nuts in downloading anything I could find in that forum and posting a link back if I found a new link.
I came to realize that it was a huge waste of time, as I had become a collector maniac, with gigs of downloaded stuff, which never got used..
Back in 2001-'02 having Windows XP Beta and showing it to your friends was cool you know..
But on the other side, I also noticed that forums are a great thing to share information with other people so that is the main reason why a lot of my web projects were focused on forums.
Cheers.
