probably hardwarecentral. I'm quite shocked to see them and sysopt.com still running strong.

It was either the a Rammstein forum or the Hitman forum.

I don't know if wbs.net would count... it was early/mid-90's, kind of a cross between a forum and a chat room (forum-like, except it auto-refreshed every 10 seconds and people would have ongoing conversations0.

other than that, my first forum would probably have to be for therealmonline, an online game I played for like 3 years in high school before EQ came out.

there's really only 3 forums I'm active in anymore, though... AT, the official WoW forums, and my World of Warcraft guild's forums.

Before forums, i used to spend a lot of time in chat rooms, especially on MSN Chat.
I was big into the IRC scripts & chat room wars/hax0ring in those days

I did BBSes way back in the early '90s. I did USENET (it's not just for downloads) before I recall signing up for any web-forum.

I'm honestly not sure what the first web-based forum I signed up for. You know, I'd kill for a chance to see my browser history from the first year I had internet, I wish I had somehow saved that kind of stuff. Actually after thinking about it, I think my first online forum was a forum I signed up for that was associated with the online service for playing "Warlords 3" online. I not very sure about that, but at this moment it's the first one I can remember.

Hardware forums I guess. I was researching the best bang for buck CPU cooler.
