When was the first proper online forum set up? Seem to recall using it around 2000

First one I recall goes back circa 1995. The rivals.com network.
There was a forum for each club, Anthony Addy ran ours. It was great because you could jump from one clubs forum to another. Engaging with fans of other clubs, e.g. the visiting fans for the coming Sat etc, was really good.
The Rovers forum was one of the best used across divisions outside the Premier League.
Shame it disappeared.

The city and rovers messageboard shortly after that as well. Thinking 96/97 maybe? Good times.

Shame it disappeared. That sounds like a great platform with the other team engagement. I guess today's internet is a different environment though! |

The fans derbies sprang from the Rivals forum.
They were good days.

Shame it disappeared. I remember that. Some good banter on them. I used to enjoy the bbc 606 forums too. I think you could do the same on that IIRC. |

And they had a link to Radio Bristol match commentary for us overseas people. Free of charge. Those were the days!
