My forum history began when I was about 10 years old. I used to subscribe to a monthly horse themed surprise box and it came with a forum that could only be accessed through the subscriber credentials. It shut down some years later, but it taught me a lot and was a really important space for my early internet days. The space was moderated by the company, not viewable without logging in, and intended for children and teens. I am grateful that we were able to have fun and be our cringey child selves without this being public or still available, or sold to anyone. I am also thankful for the "elders" in that community who explored difficult topics in a child-friendly way. We were able to have talks about death, domestic violence, mental health, sexual assault or the ethics of eating animals without everything imploding, being inappropriate, or taking up much of the space.
