I would say when I was 12 or 13 so 99' or 2000, bet it's earlier. I joined the Nexus forums for an early MMORPG called Nexus.

Nitelite BBS, 1987, 9,600 baud modem connection over phone lines.

Now get the fuck off my lawn
Orbert might challenge you.  Usenet?

Yeah, I consider usenet newsgroups the forerunners of today's forums, and dialup bulletin boards before them.

I was on bulletin boards sometime between 1986 and 1989.  That's when I was working in a computer lab at the community college.  It was probably 1987 or 1988.  Spring of 1989 is when I graduated, and I did my student teaching prior to that and had no free time, so 1988 at the latest.

The Underground BBS in the fall of 1985......

Winner.

I had a friend who had a modem and posted on bulletin boards, but I don't think I ever posted.  I just hung out in his room sometimes when he was on.  It was pretty cool stuff.

Mine was Toolnavy, in,05 then shortly after 8vm was released joined DT.net and been coming here more since, because its one of the best communities I've encountered on forums.

HOLY SHIT. You made that?
I discovered that video when I still lived with my parents, probably 2.5 years ago, way before I joined this forum. I never knew that was you who made it. Awesome!

First real forum?  Probably the mikeportnoy.com forum in late 1999.  Before that I was on the ytsejam mailing list for a couple of years.

1998 I think. Could have been earlier.

My main forums were the unofficial Offspring forum, the Disturbed forum, and then DT.net-DTF.org
