My first internet forum in 2002 was a local forum that was set up for music fans around my town. It was surprisingly reasonably active for a few years but is long gone now. It was used mainly for organising local all-ages shows, buses to big concerts, musician networking and general random chat. Nobody really insulted each other or any of that stuff because most of us knew each other, and even if we didn't know each other we got to know each other which was kind of cool.
My first proper forum was Boards.ie which I first joined in 2003 and is Ireland's biggest forums site. I'm still an active member there although I'm on my second account.
