I think my first forum activity was back in 1996, at America Online's boards for discussing Marvel comics and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time novels.

After about a year I migrated to Compuserve (before it got bought by AOL after all), where mostly again I was active on their WoT discussion forum, where I first used my common nickname Sabreman.

I've been on forums of various kinds ever since.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

I really don't remember my first, but it feels like Civfanatics and Wargamer belong the ancients for me. Once Grogs was created I hardy ever visited Wargamer anymore though.
Civfanatics was my 'home' for quite a while in the Civ 3 era. Lots of great people there.

In general it's usually a game that drives me to its forums. Egosoft X series, Paradox, Simulators.

It's always a good indicator of what kind of community you'll experience in-game and wether the game has any legs to make it into the future.
