How long have you been browsing forums? I'm meaning overall, including times when you were just a member starting out.
I've been "foruming" (I gotta find a better word -_-) for about 5 years now. I started out on a forum called The Final Fantasy, then I became a mod at a new site called Final Fantasy Crystal Cosmo, which I eventually branched off into my own site called Ultimate Final Fantasy, which then turned into The Glass Prison.
About a year into running The Glass Prison I found MyBB, and in a few months I became a Super Moderator here.
So post your forum stories.
I have posted on game boards for at least 6-7 years, not exactly forums, but similar. I have been a member of actual forums for about 4 years, the first one i joined was sysopt.com a computer helping site. Since then I have joined countless forums on my favorite topics. I eventually wanted to start my own forum, knowing nothing about it, I cam across poppydog.com, and at the time thought it was cool, then I found a free phpbb host talkthis.com and thought that was amazing, then I realized I found out how to do it all myself, and went to SMF, after that board go hacked, I went in search to find the best free forum software and came across MyBB. Been using it ever since, for over a year now. Although none of my forums have really taken off, I have not worked that hard at it yet. The biggest forum accomplishment I have is being a super mod at albumbase.com which uses MyBB.
I've also been "foruming" for over 6 years. I remember those good'o CGI yabb days....fun times then. fun times now

hehe... I started as a member in 2001 on freewebspace community. Then I started a number of free hostings before finally I formed a free host which stills hosts few big sites for free. (since late 2002)
I started with IPB 1.0 back then mainly for support and then launched quite a few other forums but abandoned many. Most of the time, I was offering "Free forum hosting" which I recently gave up. (phpBB, IPB, MercuryBoard, SMF etc..)
So basically, "foruming" for 5 years now.

A bit more than 5 years. I joined my first forum July 17, 2001.
I started participating in Newsgroups (NGs) on Usenet back in the early 1990s. I became a member of an online forum in 1997 (and I still participate there!). Last year I was asked to help moderate a different forum. And I created my first MyBB forum about the time MyBB 1.1 was released.
well...I think you could ALMOST call it foruming but started in messageboards at this BBS I connected to via fooling my IT-teacher that I was staying at school to practise on computers.....and used the teacher's computer (the only one with a 1200baud modem) to connect to some BBSs.....and this was in 1988 I think
