When did you start browsing forums, and what was it first like for you?

Title.
My first forum was probably NSider. That didn't go too well, since I was pretty much hated by everyone for being a jerk/acting retarded. :P
But I was like 12 at the time, so I kind of had an excuse.

Oldsider because of Smash basically. I have been a forum goer ever since, although I took about a four month break between Oldsider closing and coming here.

My first forum was Cheat Planet forums. I was drawn there by game help for ToS since I didn't know about walkthroughs. It was fun for a while, but I found NSider to be more fun. Their forum eventually broke down after their site was bought out by Games Radar. Afterwards I found out about NSider.

Runescape Forums

...I'd rather not think about it '>_>

My first forum was technically Lego.com but I didn't know how to use it, so that didn't help. The first actual forum I was a regular on was oldsider, and it took me a few weeks to get used to it...I was kind of noobish when I first started out because I thought people would actually care about what I had to say, but I quickly was able to get stable.

Although perhaps the Pickle Army was a bit on the irresponsible side. Ah well.

Oldsider when I was 11. Exactly 52 days before it closed. I still got 1700 posts, though. Pokémon drew me there.

Oldsider due to Smash.
Drawn there by the Dojo site.

It was probably somewhere around 2000- 2003. I think I joined gamewinners first. I do remember that I tried to join Nsider first a long time before I actually did join but at that time you had to have an active subscription to Nintendo Power.

Nsider around summer four years back.

Good Times.

Oldsider, for a very stupid reason (it was before I got decent ADHD meds...)...

The screen caption contest for NP... I had a good one too.
