The Best Forum Ever is a forum that began in the summer of 2008 during the month of June. The site was a product of members from many other forums looking for a haven due to their forum being run down without a proper administrator monitoring the forum. Luckily, The Best Forum Ever was born and so started a new era in forums. Since June 2008, The Best Forum Ever has been growing steadily only to constantly improve due to the fantastic member base and extremely dedicated staff. Without them the site would crumble like the average forum; although, that is the least of the worries because of them.
The origin of the site is quite unique and a bit outlandish and totally bundiez, but definitely interesting. During Spring Break of 2008, I (Tony) was in Phoenix, Arizona with my friend, Tom, who invited me down with him knowing that I haven’t been on a vacation in a few years. He was quite an awesome guy and I couldn’t pass up on the offer. At the time, I wasn’t in the best shape, but I wasn’t complete out of shape, but compared to him, I was beyond anything that he was used to. Also, I can use the excuse that I didn’t have a pair of hiking shoes or anything with traction, but at that point, I don’t think it mattered.
Well, a few days into the trip, my friend, Tom’s father suggested we go hiking. It sounded like a marvelous idea as I love the outdoors and nature. What I didn’t expect was the combination of the extreme heat found in the Arizona desert, which in retrospect was extremely idiotic and oblivious at the time, and the size of the mountain. Now to Tom’s father, who takes part in Iron man’s and such, thought this was an amazing idea. He even talked down the hike making it seem like it was no big deal. Taking his word, I felt motivated to hike this trail.
The next day we left. Before the fact we hiked the trail, Tom’s father decided to walk to the trail. Unbeknownst to me, the trail was 20+ miles from our hotel along with the fact that we got lost along the way and had to make our own trail, which in retrospect was very dangerous with the wildlife there, was insane to even withstand. Climbing the mountain was quite the activity. The heat was bearing down upon me and felt as if it was only getting hotter. The trail kept feeling longer and more difficult.
Despite all the offers of me sitting and waiting behind, I refused any such nonsense as I wanted to persevere. The difficulty exponentially increased without any future of rest. There was a point where I thought I got lost. I was unable to find the trail and had to make my own. Due to this, I almost was bit by a rattlesnake and perhaps other wildlife. I do recall rattling. Along with this, I started hallucinating while going up the mountain. I was thinking I was in the internet. I could see files and avatars and posts flying. I had the idea to put 3 forums together. I was going to make the best forum ever.
The issue there was, I wasn’t able to think of a name. Randomly one day, I decided to type thebestforumever into the domain just out of curiosity. I don’t know what worked out for me, but the name was available. Almost immediately, if not immediately, the name was bought along with other ends TLD’s. From there, I set the forum up as best as possible and after several tries, the idea worked. I used the test setup with a few friends and it worked out well. It took me two weeks to make the forum perfect (since I had to redo it once). Once it opened, I spammed my aim list and changed everything to TheBestForumEver.com and it became a hit. From there, the site became what you see it now.
