Hmm. My first online community was a pokemon board, which I was part of during most of junior high.
After that, I joined up with
Anti-Shurtugal just after high school, and made the transition from there to its successor forum, Dog-Eared, which was dedicated to literary criticism (mainly of the
Inheritance Cycle and Twilight) and peer review, as just about everyone was an aspiring fantasy novelist, and lasted me until sometime after college.
I found TV Tropes while I was still in college, but wasn't aware of the forum. I got going on the official
World of Warcraft forums after Dog-Eared petered out, and signed up on the forums here, oh, two and a half years ago now? I frequent both TV Tropes and the
World of Warcraft forums now.
Oh, and I was on fanfiction.net as early as middle school, but didn't get into its forums until I was in college, and I haven't actually used it in years.
