Around 2011. Was mostly on forums before then, and found the ability to be Anonymous a whole lot less stressful.

I am also around 2011. That was when I finally resolved to walk away from MMORPG addiction and then started exploring the internet again. After stuff like YTMND faded away I just lost my connections to the 'real' internet so I fully entered the fake MMO worlds.
The sad thing is there's a parallel universe out there where I started in 2003 because some guy on EmuParadise told us about some new place called 4chan that everyone was excited about. I just wanted to play video games so while I read the thread I never actually clicked.

I got around 2012. Same as
>>110053 I also found posting anonymously less stressful and witched from forums.

I think I first found 4chan in 2012, but didn't become active on there until the following year. That was around when I was getting into anime (2011), and was my first foray into the anime fandom, although I would also be active on /b/ and such for a time as well.

I don't recall the exact year, but around 2006 when I was still in primary school.

/r9k/ in 2015 was my first encounter with a board.
i was looking for a place where virgin misfits could talk to each others and it was alright until it got invaded with sexhavers and faggots.

>>110087Never really ventured there much but I get the feeling that at that time the board must have been a cistern of negativity and downward spirals.
Glad you got out of it.

>>110052my very first time going onto a board firsthand was...sometime in the mid 2010s, maybe 2016? i don't really remember. i went onto /b/ out of curiosity once.
i didn't start actually using imageboards, as in, posting on them until...way more recently than i'd like to admit...like, in 2020 or so >_>...
