What got you into forums?

I wanted to find a place to trade Yu-Gi-Oh cards online, so I found a forum to do so eventually I asked how message boards were created and one of the links led to InvisionFree, so I created my own board on that software and the rest is history!
It was back in 2001-2002 or so, i was so into discovering Heavy Metal bands that i got into some fan boards (metallica, iron maiden, etc.) and since then my love for forum boards never stopped.
I found a community that documented glitches found in the Generation 1 Pokemon games. It was called Glitch City Labs, this was the very first forum I ever joined. This was back in late 2006, I made some very cringe posts lol. I was 16 at the time though, and had no forum etiquette. Sadly the forums were taken down and the community moved over to Discord. :\
I really liked cricket and I knew about a cricket forum my brother used, so I signed up. This was around 2012. The rest is history!

It was either forums or IRC chat when I got started and I did not enjoy the live chat idea, so I ended up joining some forums and ended up on Invision Free, which just opened up a whole new world to me.
