The first forum I ever joined was a free sample forum. I used to get all kinds of free samples and thought my mail person was going to kill me! It was fun trying new products before I bought them. Unfortunately, the owner of the site got ill and it closed.
joined my first forum over 5 years ago..................at its peak it was hitting 4000 members and guests at any one time.............had big probs a few weeks ago due to some probs...........the owner decided to close............but he has started another smaller simpler one only a week ago....gone back to basics, lots of the old crew have returned...cos it has not got a lot of the features of the old site a splinter forum has started by an ex member which is basically a clone...lots of people 'crossover' from one to the other but i like the small and clean feel of the new one
A toy company had a message board for the toys and such and I really loved it! There were a lot of issues, but eventually I became a moderator. It ended up closing down later on due to management issues (the company didn't have anyone interested in continuing to manage to board from the way I see it).
The crappy AOL message boards lol.
A gaming clan forum, inspired me into administration and in creating my very first bulletin board. I actually thank that forum for bringing me to where I am now.
1988 or so. Dial up using Hyperterminal on a 2,400 baud modem.
The Playpen Bulletin Board System
Yes, a BBS. A Galacticom BBS if memory serves, before it changed to Worldgroup.
With ANSI Graphics, no less.

Joined right before I turned thirteen.
It was a wonderful place to be apart of and I met many great people from this forum who I'm still friends with till this day. If it wasn't for this site, I probably wouldn't have ever gotten the idea to make my own forum. I bled over to this place after being a member of DeviantART for so long, and usually posted millions of exclamation points after ever sentence and never really had anything good to say, haha. The second forum was the good old Forum Advertizer, and things went off from there.

The first forum I joined was runbb.com, my boyfriends forum.
In 2005, I joined a website called, NODQForums, it no longer exists, and perhaps humorously within less than a week, I got banned. I deserved it though because I idiotically spammed my website link to them, I was just starting out on the internet and didn't really know it was that greatly looked down upon or just didn't think about it. They still have a forum, it's just no longer called NODQForums and I personally believe that it's lost everything that made it great.
