    When was the first time you ever joined a forum?

    When was the first time you ever joined a forum?

    We are all forum owners (or manage a forum for someone else) here. But I'm curious to know when was the first time you ever joined a forum?

    Let me start with myself...I started joining a forum 15 years ago (June 2002). That forum is http://www.codingforums.com, a web development and coding forums website. It was running vBulletin (didn't know what version) and then later on they upgraded to vB4 which is what they still have today. I'm known there as "glenngv" and I have helped hundreds of users with their Javascript, HTML, CSS and ASP/VBScript coding problems. I was once the most active user with 10K+ posts and got Most Helpful Member awards twice. Now I have 11K+ posts but I'm no longer active.

    Wow, you are a rock star! But then again, anyone who knows you, knows how much of an asset you are to the forum community.

    My first forum to join in 2006 was http://www.adkhighpeaks.com/forums ,but I'm not as active as you were.

    I am fortunate enough to help with 4 different forums, all but one is vB5. My personal one is Xenforo.

    I have learned alot over the last few years about vB5, thanks to you, and I really like the software.

      Just for FYI, my virus protection went of when clicking the link. Web Attack: "JSCoinminer download".

      Enjoy,

        I don't know why it did that to you. It's working fine for me.

        I tried Chrome, Firefox and IE11 and all work fine.

        The site works, but my anti virus goes off and blocks the alleged download.

        To go back to the topic...I never knew then that later on I would be working directly in the development of a future vBulletin version that is now vB5. I was not even in the US at that time. That forum helped me developed my web development skills as I was trying to solve countless coding problems. And at that time there were no Javascript frameworks or libraries and browser debugging tools that make coding easier. The browsers then were Netscape 4, IE4, IE5.5, IE6 and you used alert() to debug Javascript code. Ahhh, good times...

            My first forum i joined was in 2009 and was called CreativX.net which is no longer where i made it from Moderator to Administrator until it went offline in 2014.
            The main topic on that forum was Windows 7 themes and other graphic designs especially for Win 7.
            The forum did also run on vBulletin 4 and it was there i learned a lot about vBulletin and thanks to the owner of CreativX who sold me his vBulletin license (he had 2 licenses) i started my own site in 2012.

              I joined the forum I later inherited on December 26,2002 which is the day it was converted from PHPbb to vBulletin. I was member for a few years before that. It was originally SamConder.com, then BT3Central.com and is now SawDustZone.org.
