First Promotion Forum

[golfbunny]

Does anyone know of the first ever promotion forum with services and a similar structure to this one? Was FP the first? It would be interesting to know what community started the trend we see all over the web today.

FP wasen't the first, however I don't know which was the first ever promotion forum.

I remember Mad Ads being just as old, if not older than FP. But they shut down a long time ago.

I think standing FP is the oldest open, thriving promotion forum

 

[Damien]

Back when I joined FP there where hardly any promotion forums around 🙂

I remember there being one named Hireem (or something similar) a long time ago. Not sure if it's still going though.

I remember Hireem

Hireem shut ages ago.

I don't know either, might have been Advertisement Centre which was an IF one that went on for a looooooong time.

 

[Zenrer]

Hireem was a great forum, why they shut continues to amaze me.

It turned dire eventually.

I remember Jammer-Ads a while ago

Jammerads was an old one, Advertisement centre was definitely before this forum. Mad ads i think was slightly before. FA was slightly after this forum. There were a few other ones when we started this but the big ones were Jammerads and Advertisement centre and Mad ads. There was still many smaller ones although in those days they were always on Invisionfree. Alot of them started to get cracked all the time and then people stopped using IF. Now most advertising forums are using phpBB it seems. What made us unique is the fact that we were using phpBB which was rare for a advertising forum in those days and we were the first (atleast the first main) advertising forum on freeforums.org which gave us alot of members to get us going.

I think he was asking that, not saying it really.

Active? Yes.

The oldest? I don't know. I'd do a search on Google if I were you and look that one up.
