Since 2006-2007 for me. I was a teenager (15-16) when I was started.

I remember the original BBS. The ones that worked using dialups networks. Never did it myself though.
When I started making forums, phpBB1 was available. Then phpBB2 came along and it was amazing... until you added plugins to it, then it took hours to add a simple plugin because it was all by hand.
Eventually went to vBulletin 3.X series. After vb4 and all the drama that came with that, I moved onto other free ones like MyBB and SMF.
Got on the XenForo bandwagon from the start and that's mainly what I use now.
I do have a vb6 forum though and it's kind of neat! I'm also using MyBB, SMF, and phpBB3 as well. I want to get used to all the platforms available! Well, most. Invision is a bit expensive.
Before forums, I was on WebTV and then my first PC (dialup days), I made a lot of custom HTML static sites.
Now for websites, I'm all WordPress, baby!
