Your first internet forum
 

As the title suggests, what was your first internet forum and how long ago did you join? Just curious how long you guys have been forumers (I think I just invented a new word :))

The Internet Movie Database forums for me, sometime around 2000-2001.

The very first forum I joined was called MyREM, an REM fansite. I was one of the very first members there, joined in 1999. I was NINE years old, lied and said I was 14 or something. I didn't post very much because I only got Internet at the library, but when we got Internet at home a few years later I managed to submit almost 17,500 posts before it went offline a couple of years ago.

First forum for me was GamePro back around 2001. It was right around the time I got my PS2 and did a little mini review for Ico on their user review forum. I really can't remember how long I was active on that forum but in 2003 I joined Taborama's music forum while at school and managed to get around five thousand posts before the website was taken down in 2006.

Ah, 2003 and it was Gaiaonline, and I was 15.

The official forum of the superhero MMO, City Of Heroes. Joined October 28, 2005. Was all of thirteen years old. Takes me back.

The first one I remember regularly posting on was the official Magic the Gathering forum. I think I joined back in 2004. I was one of those obnoxious thirteen year olds who didn't really understand anything. In fact, I clearly remember being sigged by another member named Carados_Nuax for asking

"Wait, why is Black Lotus so good???"

I accidentally found my way onto a Napoleon Dynamite forum when I was 13. I remember making my username blue_night (rather than Green Day, har-de-har). I think I made like two posts and was subsequently afraid of the internet until 2008.

CEMB forum was my first forum.

Anarchy Online forums in 2001. I was a prolific poster for a long time and wrote a class guide and some other stickies there. Before forums, my social networking over the internet was mostly on IRC.
