Forum
This is an article for the current version of the forums at lonelygirl15. For the version of the message boards that existed prior to Sept. 6, see phorum.
The Lonelygirl15 Forums located at lonelygirl15.com/forum are generally considered the main hub of activity for lonelygirl15 fans.
The forums are divided into 8 main sections:
- Admin Announcements — The forum moderators and the Creators make announcements about the forums and all lonelygirl15 here. [1]
- Mysteries in the Plot — For discussion of the plot and the lonelygirl15 videos.[2]
- Character Discussion — To discuss Bree, Daniel, Jonas, and all the rest.[3]
- OpAphid: The Official LG15 Alternate Reality Game — For following OpAphid. [4]
- Everyone's a Character (in character interaction) — This board of the forum is reserved for "in character" discussion. In this board, fans must pretend that the Breeniverse is real, and can make no reference to things outside the Breeniverse. Bree, Daniel and other Breeniverse characters occasionally post messages in this board.[5]
- General Discussion — For suggestions, concerns and complaints and other behind the scenes discussion.[6]
- LG15 Fan Creations — For discussion of the many unofficial spinoffs.[7]
- The Back of Bree's Closet — For old threads or reports of spam.
The forums are administered by Miles Beckett and Broken Kid. There is also a team of moderators.
The current PHPbb-powered forums were launched on Sept. 6, 2006. Prior to the current version, the message boards were powered by the Phorum software package. The original forums were called the phorum, and many of the fans who posted on the phorum still use that term.
Although the forum is often considered the hub of fan activity, as of January 2007, around 3,500 fans were registered at the forums, compared to over 75,000 people who subscribe to lonelygirl15 videos on YouTube. Only a small minority of lonelygirl15 fans are even registered at the forums.
