Atease I think it was around 2002/2003 when I joined. It was much better then than it is now i.e. no cliques or pretentious dicks competing against each other to see who can pretend to like the most obscure artist.

I was about 14/15 yrs old when I first joined a forum. It was a music forum dedicated to electronica. I loved the place. It went offline but I keep in touch with alot of the members and have even bumped into 3/4 of them in the street. (it was basically only scottish members)

My first one was for a site called X-entertainment, for the generation not the porn style back around 2001-2002. I stuck to their music subforum exclusively. And yes, I got called pretentious there too hahahaha

on the Bladerunner forum, a lot of people were irritated with me cos i was pissing on Jeter's books, insisting they're nowhere near as good as "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

(when I haven't even read his sequels)

The first forum I ever joined was ITV's Formula 1 forum sometime in 2000.

It was great, It got to the point that there was so much bitching about ITV's F1 coverage that they pulled the plug on it a few years later.

I remember this guy on there called Powerslider who claimed that he worked for the Jordan F1 team and he was always coming out with this 'insider knowledge' and everybody thought the guy was full of shit. Ironically after the forum closed down most of the stuff he was saying would happen did happen.

I joined a few Arsenal forums back in 2007 I think. Not sure if I had been an active member of a forum before that, apart from some weird one that was associated with my Secondary School in 2006.

Nintendo.com community forums.

I was like 11 years old comparing screen shots and making zelda history theories.

Decade later not a whole lot has changed though the community section was deleted when the wii came out

Also used to post on grasscity.com sometimes

[N]Gamer Online, a forum that's based off a video games magazine, I think it's been 2.5 years to be precise, therefor I was 12. I was a ****ing n00b. 'twas an awesome community, but by the time I learned how to behave properly on the internet the community was going downhill. It stille xists and it's still rpetty cool but then again, it;s Dutch, so you guys ain't gonna be able to do ****z with it. =P
