As is johnjon320, and I think there's a few more.
 
The first Internet forum I signed up for was a video game cheat forum back in 1995 that doesn't exist anymore. The first BBS forum I signed up for was way back in 1989 IIRC.
 
Apu's Hardware back in 1999 I think, before it became Icrontic.com.

I used to visit their KT7-RAID FAQ almost daily as I was building my first computer. Later became a hardware reviewer and forum mod for them, but that's all past history. Good times though. 🙂
 
i have no idea...I know originally I signed up here in the late 90's and had a problem with my account right after. I decided to rejoin a little later.

 
pirate.planetarion.com, around 1999

the official forums for the old text based game planetarion, i think i got banned for trolling after about 1500 posts.
 
First for me was Don5408's IBM Aptiva forums (for my first PC), from there I found SysOpt, and after a few forums made it hear.

Awesome
 
AGN3d FS forum in 1999 then here afterwards when they were bought by some wanna be bigtime intarweb company. Of course, got a different handle then.😛
 
Arstechnica was the first fourm I signed up for... Anand was the 2nd.

I don't visit Ars much anymore... maybe 2-3 times a year.

I'm here almost every day... even if I don't feel the need to post that much. 😛
 
Oh man this is a tough one to try and remember but I think it was a car forum for Camaros and Firebirds. If I remember right it was around 2001ish.

I kinda miss that car. It was an '89 Pontiac Firebird Formula with a 305 cu.in. V-8. I did some exhaust mods and intake mods and if I remember right changed the rear gearing to 3.73. It had the TPI intake manifold which created gobs of torque off the line which was really fun but kind of fizzled out at higher rpms. If I remember right a lot of guys at the time called it the "Greatest truck motor GM ever created" haha.
