What was your first regular forum?

[Deeko]

I actually got my forum start when I was very young...like 13 or 14. I bought Bleem!, the PSX emulator, and joined the 'exclusive' bleem! forum. When they went downhill, the forum went down one day, and I was left with a forum void that left me searching...and eventually I turned up ATOT. Later I found that the bleem! forum was still operating secretly if you knew the right URL...weird...but I already had a new love in my life. haha.

If Slashdot doesn't count, then Anandtech.

 

[RossMAN]

DVDTalk.com was the first forum I joined 5 years ago

The first forum i regularly posted in was a local electronica forum.

I still browse it once in a while, but i got tired of the constant flaming & bullshit that occurred in every area of the board.
I moved onto better things

 

[nycxandy]

It was for a MUD, Earth:2025.

 

Sharkys.

 

[talyn00]

I first started in newsgroups, which I guess is kinda just like forums.

 

[dc]

firingsquad/gamers.com hardware and offtopic back in 98'ish

 

[Zugzwang152]

This is my first

 

[csyberblue]

gamefaqs.com was my first, then I moved to sharky's, then I moved to anandtech

 

[mobobuff]

Around 15 or 16 years old. The forum on eeggs.com.

 

[suklee]

[zimu]

anantech all the way here.

 

[Childs]

BBS, IRC, usenet, Stomped, then AT. I've had accounts on others over the years, but those are the ones I checked out regularly.

 

[ironcrotch]

superhonda.org was my first forum, then spymac, then i found ATOT

 

[Kaervak]

Hardforum, shudder. Thankfully I was banned from there after calling Kyle a child on another forum that he had his lackies go to to see if anyone was bad mouthing him. Loser. Anyway, ADF became my forum home where I was a moderator of a couple forums there. Then it closed back in September of 2k3. Now my main forum is the one in my sig (NHP) where I moderate the Gaming & FS/T forum with an iron fist.

 

[Yossarian]

this one. well general hardware to be specific. but the gravitational pull was too strong and I got sucked into OT.

 

[BZeto]

The motocross madness 2 forums at http://www.motocrossmadness2.com/. That was like 4-5 years ago when the game first came out. I loved that game and the community. Sadly I haven't been there for a couple years and the forums are gone now, but I will cherish the memories

 

[UglyCasanova]

Julie's How to Draw Anime waaay back in the day when it was still her forum. The it turned to Solace or something and now I think to something else but I'm not sure.

yup, pretty much the same story here, age and forum exactly.
the Bleem! forums and the subsequent refugees forum were great! hopefully Paladin can restart them sometimes... if that were the case, then that would be one forum that i've literally grown up in and have chatted with the exact same people throughout Junior High all the way till the end of college
