Acid Forums was a forum owned by aaaaaa123456789 that was founded in 2015 and closed in 2021. Its name was taken from the well-known Acid Chat within the community and it ran off the MyBB software.
The forum served as a replacement for Jiggmin's Village, which had recently shut down at the time of its establishment.
History[]
Acid Chat had several brief forums between 2011 and 2015, all of which closed after a few months due to inactivity.[1]
In July 2015, jiggmin.com unexpectedly went offline following an extended period of inactivity from Jiggmin. No official replacement was immediately set up, with the one he created a month later not being confirmed as legitimate until nearly a year afterwards. This left the community scattered with little ability to contact one another unless they were still active on Platform Racing 2 or friended elsewhere.
As JV went offline for periods earlier that month, many just assumed it would return. After several weeks with it becoming more apparent it wouldn't however, aaaaaa123456789 started a forum for members to congregate to in hopes that as many as possible could reunite. Word of it spread quickly, and hundreds joined in the next few months.[2]
Freegoose was eventually confirmed as Jiggmin's new website in June 2016, though most users chose not to migrate, leading to Freegoose's eventual shut down in 2018.[3]
After JV Revival launched around the same period as a more official JV successor, activity on Acid Forums gradually fell over the following years as members either migrated or left the community altogether. It eventually went down quietly on June 24, 2021.[4]
