Suprsreport...I'll admit it . I actually had over 2000 posts there rather quickly, but then the blatant racism of that scite just got to me.
Bassmasters message board. Back when they mainly talked about fishing. Got really close go going to Kentucky Lake for the first "tournament of the board members". I left when the racism got bad enough to make me pissed a few years ago. You can't reason with some people.
Zsnes Forums
I don't remember which one it was, but I remember it was for a game I was completely hooked on in '98. I think it was called BattleCity.
I remember posting on some Lakers message board back in 2000. I have no idea what site it was but I remember posting about how good Corey Hightower was going to beand trying to sign John Amaechi. Pretty funny in hindsight.
I can't remember but I'm pretty sure it was on woai.

This is one of my first jobs.
Not only is the book not real, story not real, guy not real but to this very day the search for the book still goes on.
The basic spiel is this:
John Palifox Key allegedly wrote a book called "Proofs of My Return" that described portals through which you could find a land full of denizens not unlike the magical creatures of fairie tales (gnomes, fairies, lizard-like people, etc.). What's more, JPK claimed to have travelled into this alternate reality, experiencing things first hand. So far, nothing much out of the ordinary for paranormal writers and their books. But here's the hook:
JPK apparently mapped out the location of the portals in his book, so that anyone could find them. These places include: Montmorency County (major continuous portal was always open on County Road 622 (called Clear Lake Rd.) about 5 miles beyond the Canada Creek Dam heading roughly west toward Vanderbilt, Michigan) and the Cons ution area of Dekalb County, Georgia--both areas where he identified major portals; Constance, KY among other locations throughout the U.S.
As the story goes, this book became popular amongst college folk in the '60's-- they would go on field trips to find these portals (like it was some sort of buried treasure). Young Joey Leguay was exposed to this book while he was still in High School (I think) by his older brother Eric Leguay (who is now a CEO at some Fortune 500 company... don't ask which). Eric Leguay went on one of these portal hunts with some friends, but left Joey behind. When Eric returned, he said the whole thing was a bunch of bunk, discouraging young Joey from exploring on his own. Joey would remain skeptical about portals until just this last year.
Fast Forward to late 2001. An Atlanta grad student by the name of John Grantly in his quest for information related to John Palifox Key and his book runs into a lady going by the name Apacheunger who claims to have had a similar experience as described by JPK in his book. Apacheunger professes that she drove out of this world for 20 minutes. Below is her story:
I was driving (for my job selling photo-cells) in a rather deserted part of a northern state, which I'd rather not mention yet, when I started seeing lizard-like things about 2 to 3 feet high standing upright near the sides of the gravel road I was on. They looked very "intelligent" not like lizards or wild beasts or anything. I thought about aliens, etc., but these looked earthbound, as I said like lizards with brains and a sense of purpose. Also they seemed to follow me with their heads and eyes. I was in a nothern state where it really snows and is cold, and I know there are no lizards there. I was also there on business. These lizard-like things were really ugly, so I started to drive faster...and I swear the road turned into a light brown packed earth drive, and the trees and such were all different like nothing I've ever seen anywhere. There were funny colored plants with curly leaves that really didn't look like leaves and vines that smelled funny (I had the window down). The whole scene was unreal and the worst...I swear...was that small, squat human-like people were around the sides of this earthn trail working and not paying much attention to me. They were gathering big triangular fruits and hitting them with sticks. Crazy as this seems they looked like dwarfes or lepratchauwns or little people like fairies, etc. They were very hunched over and seemed more wider than tall like they grew from side to side instead of up. Some did look at me as I passed in my car and shook their heads as if to say I had made a mistake. I actually wet my pants I was so scared...but I drove out just like I drove in suddenly and then everything was normal.
Furthermore, she goes on to give direct coordinates: a county gravel road which is a short cut between the town of Hillman and Michigan Highway 33 running north of Atlanta, MI. main doorway is on county road 622 past Canada Creek Dam +/- 5 miles.
I know the story sounds like a hoax, but believe me quite a few people have experienced this. Until the advent of the internet, many of these recorded accounts went undo ented. The proof is so real, or surreal, that according to a gentleman named Tim Mistrial (internet name), it appears that about 8 years ago there was a movement to destroy every last copy of JPK's manuscript. Some think it's very dangerous. Needless to say, the book is extremely hard to find.
Anyway, there are some other books of interest or authors that have well do ented experiences traveling to pararell universes including Serge Hutin & Georges Rabiton's 1927 book. Name at this time eludes me?
I guess people are still talking about it.

Gamespy forums, many moons ago. Warcraft 2 or Doom 2? Cant remember anymore.
I had a group of friends I played Spades with on Pogo.com. But this is the first and only site I post on, on a long term daily basis.
Fun topic. I'll give it a bump.
First forums I can remember trolling were the James Randi and View Askew message boards back in '99. For those of you who don't know, James Randi is a famous skeptic who debunks various supernatural claims: psychics, telekinesis, alien abductions, etc. He has an open offer of one million dollars to anyone who can prove the existence of the supernatural.
Anyhow, the forums were filled with atheist bags and pseudo intellectuals. I simply played the role of the guy who believed. My signature on that forum was, "We do not profit from knowledge, we are enslaved by it." That one really got them going.
ViewAskew is director Kevin Smith's official site. Used to troll that forum by simply criticizing Kevin Smith, which naturally incited his fanboys.
My first post was in the summer of 2000 (Grant Hill) on a Pistons site (mlive.com) that has been rendered too boring to visit all that often. In 2004, while on www.paspn.net, a couple of Lakers fans came over and invited us to register at their site to trash-talk during the Finals. I got the idea from there to join Spurstalk (pistonsnation.com had a link) in 2006 because I was convinced we were headed for a Finals rematch. I never trash-talked, although I did manage to get into some intense arguments over the years. Corliss Williamson should start, Ben Wallace should be traded, and Rick Carlisle should be fired are the ones that come to mind. It's been a long time since fire was in the blood over a couple of typing assholes staring at a computer screen.
Same here, don't remember the year I believe 01.
theknot.com, on the Relationships board. RE doesn't exist anymore - I believe it became Advice From Brides or some .
I was just talking about this on glowinthewoods.com, since I've started moderating their boards and needed to do a main page intro.
Er, not the trolling. Back in the day on theknot, we had Troll Fridays. I trolled a couple of time, but not long term. Pretty much only on here and Glow anymore these days.
The oldest post of mine I can find on the internet is when I was trolling a Jazz forum 12 years ago:
That's my first post and probably my best post ever.
Greatness

Flava Flave!!!

Seriously?
Ity was back in 1996, when rumors of Ultima Online started spreading. That was my first taste of a message board.
And damn, we owned Atlantic server!
1997ish, played a game called ARC back then
I wish I could remember. My earliest internet memory was getting in trouble for sending a bunch of emails back when Prodigy used to charge .25 per email.
I don't know how much the bill was but I got in trouble for it, that was in 1991.
My first board was years ago on webtv, it had a link on the homepage for message boards. I would post in the webtv.classic board. My first post basically told some guy to stfu and make sense, then we became friends. Was good until the webtv plus came out and half the normal crowd left to the webtv.plus board.
On a side note webtv also had a link to chat. I would spend hours in the "teen" chat on talkcity.com. I was a teen back then 18/19 so no pedo , that was my first chat room also. Met some chick and went to her house she lived with her aunt. They pick me up for a small party and the aunt got drunk and ask if I mind staying the night so she don't have to drive. That made my webtv worth it right there.
After webtv I would used my Dreamcast for surfing the net, I had the kb/mouse for it.
Then got a crappy Emachine pc and started going to www.gamefaqs.com, now I really only view 2 boards on a daily basis. This one and www.neogaf.com. I read a lot more than I post on both.
I still remember when Kori Ellis came to the EN site in '98? as "New Girl" and SpursFan (Marcus Bryant) and Travis kept accusing her of being a guy trolling as a girl because she knew too much about basketball. She used to enrage SpursFan because she kept calling David Robinson "soft"
Deadsy (a band) message board. Then I was on these MB called Meme Machine where people used to debate all sorts of intellectual topics from science, to religion to politics to tech stuff. Was a great place to learn about various topics and read interesting articles.
I used to troll the chat rooms at the Coal Chamber site for fun. Just say Coal Chamber sucks, sit back and watch the hilarity ensue.
spursreport... seems like it was part of 760/1200 back then? i cant remember
I remember like it was yesterday...it was 1996 I went to Art Bell's Grassy Knoll live chat room and I said "Hi San Antonio here!" in under 2 seconds I got a " you" and a
"who the cares?" I was hooked ever since.
I used to post on some forum called Toywiz back when I was like 12. I didn't start trolling until I joined MySpace and started making fake profiles to troll our local high school's pages. I remember I had one guy so pissed from Taft that he was ready to bring a gun to shoot me at Planet K where I said we could throw down haha. Ah, the good ol' days.
