What was the first forum you signed up for?

[Q]

Me, Steam forums, back in 2003 I think. I was just barely in puberty back then, but I signed up because I didn't know how to play Counter Strike and I wanted to learn (no joking).

You?

 

[BassBomb]

[darkxshade]

I think the first one was either neowin or winbeta back when I used to frequent IRC constantly.

 

[NatePo717]

I think this one. Not really sure though.

Strike that. It was my old Enemy Territory clan's web site.

 

[buck]

probably sharkys.

 

[Lola]

THis one actually. It is going on 7 years since first signing up!

There were forums, of a sort, on a BBS I was part of back in the day. If that counts, I'd say the Bedrock BBS, circa 1987.

 

[E equals MC2]

This. Big mistake.

 

[m1ldslide1]

Did the BBS thing back in the mid 90's, but this is the first actual web forum I signed up for.

 

[Vehemence]

I was a lurker (still am) without signing up for a while, I think the first forum I actually signed up for to post on was either a Final Fantasy or Elder Scrolls game forum, can't remember which. Early 2000s, I'd say around 2002-3.

Wow you're old!

Um.... I think it was a CS clan forum that I constantly just spammed crap with because I hated the admins on the forum but I liked their servers. Then it was definitely this forum.... I think I lurked for a bit before I actually decided to man up though.

 

[rasczak]

now defunct, but my first forum was checkyour6.net a cs gaming community about 2001

 

[loup garou]

MaximumPC(97ish?)>dualboot>here

 

[randomlinh]

i can't remember. but the early days of AT I signed on. brought in by the good old hot deals of buy.com.

 

[iamwiz82]

AGN3d and Sysopt, though I think AGN was first.

My first modem connection was at 300 baud, circa 1984. Yes, I know I'm old

There was messaging back then but it wasn't really in forum form.

 

[StinkyMojo]

Techwarelabs

 

[Linflas]

alt.support.atari.st or something close to that. Before that it would been local BBS's.

 

[WraithETC]

IGN

 

[thehstrybean]

xoxideforums...Wow, that was a long time ago. They had an awesome hot babe thread, too...

 

[KeithTalent]

Probably egullet.org a food site I used to be quite active on, but now I mainly just browse there.
