You all know Cory from various communities, starting on the Zathyus Networks (InvisionFree/ZetaBoards) platform. I've been using forums for over two decades. The first forum I created was on the InvisionFree platform, which I later converted to ZetaBoards. I've also used ProBoards for a short period and currently use Jcink. As you can see, I've always used non-self-hosted forum software because I don't like spending much money on a hobby I can do freely.
My board on Jcink is for Jcink forum resources. Once I become more acquainted with ForumSpark, I may consider creating a resource board on this platform. I know HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/jQuery.
Aside from message boards/coding, my hobbies include listening to music (mainly hard rock and metal), playing video games such as Pokemon GO and Call of Duty, fantasy media such as The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones, and collecting Yu-Gi-Oh TCG cards.
