What's the oldest forum that exists

[bigballofyarn]

ProBoards Support has an ID of 1 which is the oldest forum.

I went through forum IDs and 2 through 16 didn't exist.

Forum #17 = 00dev.proboards.com/, but they haven't had activity since 2002. I guess they're the second oldest forum.

I made my forum in January of 2003 and my forum ID is 355429.

The literal oldest still in existence is probably this one. Other than that there are some from the very early days which are still active, but i am not sure which the earliest is.

You have a magic trick

Don't tell me how it's done. I want to stay in awe for now

Mine is not THE oldest (My Transformers one created in 2002), but you'll find it's one that is lesser known. I.E. one of the quiet ones that maybe you don't see advertised much but still does well.

I remember this Forum being one of the first ones I stumbled on when I was surfing on my dial up connection back in 2003.. before ever registering to ProBoards.

bigballofyarn what's the biggest forum ID you've seen

[bigballofyarn]

Their ID is over 7 million.

7306021

Edit:

Just because I found one with an ID over 7 million doesn't mean over 7 million forums are online. I'm sure there are millions online, but a lot of the IDs I checked led to a blue bear. Also, I didn't keep checking after that number, but their only post is from a few days ago.

WHOA....
I have never seen this one..
How did you happen upon it? Just checking the ID?

Wesley2005,

Yes, checking IDs is how I found the oldest forum too.
