Pallantides turned out to be a Pallantida. He was a woman.

It's usually the other way around.

Anyone remember the French Canadian girl, Grumpy cat ?
She was on ABF & Anthroscape

I was in touch with her via discord until about a year ago

I do remember her from anthroscape.
She has a TA account too, but she stopped posting by the time I arrived here.

I was on Forumbiodiversity between 2012-13, then Sikeliot himself invited me onto TA. The rest is history.

Forumbiodiversity and ABF were the same thing? I made an account around 2015 on that forum, but made only a few posts. The forum seemed boring with very little activity. Also, if I remember correctly the posts I made didn't appear immiediately because the forum moderator had to approve them first

Why did Forumbiodiversity go offline anyway? The owner didn't want to player server fees anymore?

I am not an og not in the longshot but I was an reader of this forum since 2020 and then finally made an account in 2022

Before registering, i already had a friend who told me about phenotypes and this site etc but i wasnt much interested and forgot about it. During lockdowns, retired from most of my games due to my education i began watching documenteries and videos about every kind of science in my spare time which also included videos about origins of humans. At one stage when i made a further search about some video, i came across forum and after discovering a little bit, i decided to register and post. However, what made me a regular was Karabakh war topic and terrible disinformation and one sided propaganda, where i decided that i have to represent my people here.

I just created a account in august 2022, but i knew TA well before that

I've been posting on and off on anthro forums since 2009 and that is the year I registered on here. I was a member of Anthroforum before it shut down and was taken over by EliasAlucard who merged it into Human Biodiversity Forum (ABF). I was a moderator and one of Elias' co-admins there. And no, I have no memory of voting for banning Anodyne, Usually, we held a vote, but I think Elias decided to give him the boot on his own terms, and also that he would never be allowed amnesty. I know that he said he would never ban people because he didn't like them personally as he believed in freedom of speech, but a lot of people said they didn't believe that.

I remember Pallantides. He was a dark-haired man from Scandinavia, if I'm not mistaken.

edit: I found ABF and TA after the website DNA Forums disappeared. I also went to Anthrogenica.

He was a Lappid-influenced Norwegian who would get into arguments with Nordicists who said he was not a true Norwegian because of how he looked. His 23andme test said he was basically 100% Norwegian and Scandinavian with no traceable Saami ancestry. He also posted pictures of other Norwegians who were Lappid-influenced which irked them a lot, and they would shotgun him with pics of Hallstatt Norwegians back.

First noticed this forum in 2013, which was when I also found Anthroscape
I liked the lay out of that forum more, so became a regular poster there until it folded.

It was only then, that I started to post regularly on The Apricity

Your story is closest to mine, just mine started a year after yours

I was originally on Anthroscape (2014) because I was interested in taxotomy. I made account on TA around same time but it was inactive because I found the forum chaotic. Anthroscape was more high brow.

However I left it due to tyrannical rule and censorship of main admin Crimson Guard and never looked back.

[Rædwald]

I was googling some stuff about taxonomy and ended up here back around 2014. Ten years of 'Who's Whiter, and 'is France Northern-Southern-Central European' threads make a crazy man sane, and a sane man crazy.

[Oghuz]

I was always interested in anthro-related subjects. Started lurking here around 2016-17, finally registered in 2018. There were many Iranian and Turkish users here, we kept posting classification threads. Life got busier so I left around 2019. Just popped back 2 months back after a ~5 years gap.

Atleast three members I know from that time have sadly passed away.

I joined Oct 2018 on my original account.
