    Probably SRP is he oldest forum. It goes back to 2005 and before that was a Yahoo Groups Site for several years.

    The guy who started Badger and Blade was first a member here at SRP and that's where he learned to use a straight.

    The original SRP was a yahoo groups site and I reckon it started around 2000. This site started around 2005 and I was a member on the yahoo groups site a few years before that.
