I spent quite a few years bookmarking websites individually before finding novel updates, and it took a while before I made an account. Don't know if I count as an oldie tho
I used to be active in the spoiler threads, but now they're mostly about Korean romance novels which 1. Too boring to read and 2. Can't MTL them anyway.
There's a few of them around, since I'm a new guy, I don't know which one of them were the very active ones?
