First true forum: The original AGN, back in '97.

Prior to that, it was the PACS (Philadelphia Area Computer Society) bbs back in '84.

We heartily agree with you.

I was going to say that but it seems like I am always picking on him.
I even held back in the thread about how smart his gf is. No smart woman would be with him... :laugh:

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.

Wow you're old!

:)

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.

That was my first modem as well. I was on Compu$erve back in 1982, and hit my first BBS sometime around '83. Ran my own from '84-'88.
