the forum is alive and well lately tbf mind you, it could just be something to do with the mainstream social media platforms being absolute dogshit these days

 

I feel like the forum was way more active in 15-20 years ago even though we had less members.

 

How many are DAs though?

 

only me

 

welcome babs fans once and all

 

I've been in this forum for 23 years 🥲 It's been a constant in my life for so long that I don't know what I would do without it.

 

I don't know anyone in real life who watches tennis so it's nice to have a place where I can air my snarky opinions.

 

Only been here a year but its nice to be in a place with other tennis obsessed ppl

 

WoW. Someone should make a documentary on the ebbs and flows of TF history. 😎

 

14 years now holy

 

For a forum, TF has stood its ground quite well and I'm glad that it is that way. No one can ever convince me to migrate to Twitter and its brainrot

True, that's why I'm here more often now than I was for many years; I had to quit Twitter for my sanity. But still needed tennis discussions

23 years, me too! Looks like I signed up the day before you did

Pretty sure we were both migrating from the Sanex WTA forum which was shutting down around that time. I think a lot of users have a 2001 sign-up date. I remember I hated this format and wanted to go back to the Sanex WTA one (can't even remember what it looked like).

 

Would there be any statistics on the geographical distribution of the members?

EDIT: just saw several US flags above after posting this

 

We should celebrate this page right now and the members on it! https://www.tennisforum.com/members/

I'm sure you could make a poll... (if some visualization doesn't already exist)

 

We need to celebrate the crazy iconic users we’ve lost along the way like SAISAI-GOAT and that insane Lisicki fan

 

What happened to Saisai GOAT?

 

Don't you mean 100?

 

100k lmao haahah, there must be like 99k non active, 500 DAs and bots.

 

Go go tennisforum!

 

After 23 years of existence, Tennis Forum officially reaches 100k members!

Where are they though? 🤣

I wonder what will happen for this special occasion - are we getting any money or prizes? Something extraordinary or spectacular

Congrats Tennis Forum and special thanks to all the mods who run the forum!

💯 🥳

Any data on when 75,000 was reached?

 

21 years and counting, even if I miss some classic members and also German tennis being stronger.

 

Iv’e been here since 2021 although iv’e been coming on here for about 4 or 5 years before I joined

 

I love this forum and can be quite hilarious sometimes. I’ve been here since 2007 and (obviously) to me its peak was around 2007-2011 with all those fanbases of WS, Maria, Guest, Woz, Dementieva, VIP, Na, Aga and of course Janković producing some hilarious content fighting each other.
Now I feel everyone’s seems to like every player with the exception of Sakkari. There’s some tension around Iga/Aryna but that’s it. And the haters are not as creative anymore. The lack of WTA stardom has affected TF as well, I’m afraid Or maybe I’m just old.

 

I thought we have reached 1 million users by now 😂😂 I've been here for 17 years

 

I get the vibe tf wont progress much in users tho in the future, younger generations wont join as much imo

 

Maybe we need to promote it all together

 

I've been here since 2009! Congratulations on first 100k members - but i think a lot of these are folks with multiple accounts.

Anyone know where @thejuju is? She really didn't like Barty and would have thought Barty retiring would bring her back. 😀😀

 

So many iconic and hilarious threads/stories in the history of TF.

• Has Dementieva past her prime and will never win a Slam?
• The "Barbie Killer" thread, my favorite-ever TF thread, about some Japanese player but not one of the most famous ones. I could not stop laughing. I so wish I could find it again

 

this is a perfect opportunity to bring TWAT back btw

 

No dearth of entertainment here. Long live TF!

 

I'm glad to contribute with my 1000 DA's.
