I'm sure that some members may be unaware that there was actually an old Discussion Hub which I used to run. I was a lot younger back then and one day, I decided to sell the site (don't worry, that won't happen again :p). Anyway, a lot of the current things we have here are based on what was present on the forum back then.

You can actually have a look at the old DH using the Wayback machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20140216144103/http://discussionhub.net:80/

That's better. I can see it now. Looks like you had a nice community back in the day. What made you end it?

I was around 12-13 back then so I was chopping and changing things. I would get bored very quickly, close a site, and then start up another. Instead of closing it, it was big enough for me to just sell it so that's what I did.

Well, I'd say you've come a long long way. I think you're doing really well with this forum. I've seen people put up some really impressive forums and then they make a bad decision to delete that forum and make another thinking they'll get a bigger community. But they don't and it's hard for them to come back from that. So if you have 102 members, you're doing something right. Just keep building from there.
 
I started a site back in 2006 when i was 14, this MyBB thing really fills the nostalgia cup..

Were you called Kingcool?
 
I remember when you were called Kingcool52. xD I also remember the old DH too, when it was on MyBB! I'm known as Ravenisawesome on Forum Promotion, so you might remember me from that forum. :p I remember you being quite active over there.

I was kingcool @Laifot

That was a username that I created when I was young which is why it is an awful username ?

This was my username since 2005, it was certainly not my first but it was around the 3rd or 4th :D

My first was ChaosTangent XD
 
That's a dope first username. My first ever username was actually Ash7890. Then it was kingcool.. and then back to just Ash

That's like a discord username code right there. Back then i was so in love with math and Tangent was my favorite word.. and that's the story behind it :p
 
Still today some of the boards are still named :) Young means you are playing around and experimenting with things. I mean who doesn't do that. I was the same, then again I still got it. What would happen if you didn't sell it and keep on running it since that day?

I don't like the old heading though, looks damn trouble, did you use paint.net back then LOL But this site has come a very long way indeed and still going strong. Just thought that it would have far more members and posts thought?

Who was the last owner before you sold it then brought it again? And Seems I was not a member back then :p

This forum was started from scratch. 11,000 posts in under 7 months.

The old site was sold and somewhat abandoned, so I wasn't going to buy it back. I think the database for the old one was merged with another site.

That explains why the restart, damn glad that you did take it back and build the site up :)
