FW was probably the first forum I joined. I must have been about 12 at the time. I got banned instantly by Paul for putting a post up about finding, and keeping, a Fox Mini Micron I acquired from a vacated swim at Darenth, one of the busiest day tickets on the planet at the time.

FW was definitely one of the first.
It was great fun on there. Some real wind up merchants.

Yes. I remember Mr Beaker.Quite a character he was. Not quite as obnoxious as the " Argumentitive Barsteward". However, he did like to push his weight, opinions and people around that would not concur quite regularly.
Every forum has one at times I guess. Adds a certain unpleasant taste in the mouth like stale mothballs when it gets too frequent. For me at least. I do miss the old Cemex and FW Forums and others. A more friendly, open format had by most back then. And so many great anglers and helpful genuine souls, with nothing to gain other than to simply help others progress and improve.
Wonderful.

Yes I was on the RMC forum as well.
It was very relaxed and friendly. I think we forget forums themselves were quite new in the early days.

That was the other one I liked. I got confused with people saying carpform and Black forum.
Why do people call it the black forum, would anyone care to share?

As in like a camera feature, or that the conversations or people were Dark? ( not in a racial way)
I must have missed, slipped by or just not registered anything remotely dark or sinister.Who gave it the "Dark" tag?

Out of your two options, "As in the camera feature" (I suppose)
Wouldn't read too much into it, I was simply that.

Best I could find to describe it
A dark mode website is a site designed with a dark background (usually black or deep grey) and light-colored text or UI elements. The goal is to reduce glare, improve readability in low‑light environments, and create a more dramatic visual style.
