I can't remember what my first real forum was. Well, I would have put it on Postloop, a now defunct forum posting service.
Anyway, it was probably a forum related to music or employment. I was big into employment sites in the mid-2010s. That niche was making me a few hundred USD a month at one point (before Postloop though).
