Early Forum
The forums were conceived almost at the same time the site was opened, they were alternative called the McLeodGaming Archives. Compared to the current one, this forum was more limited in terms of content and characteristics. However, there were some things that didn't return when the forum was updated, for example, a treat no longer see in the current forum is a system of points crowned as "Gold".

Some problems with users eventually led to their dissatisfaction. These problems needed to be under control so Cleod9 decided to upgrade the forums by creating the current ones and closing the old ones in mid 2008.
