Joined a RuneScape clan as a kid. They had made their own forum site. I posted only in bright pink by wrapping my text in [color=#f19] [/color] or something. And of course we all had cool signatures lol. They had an IRC channel too that I hung out on all the time. To this day we're still together, just on Discord now. I like to think of them as my Internet Family.
