Sure there were. I was using web based forums at least

No, you're wrong. There was no Web in 1983. Usenet
existed in 1983, but the Web was not invented until 1990,
and it was not practical until Mosaic in 1992. I called
attention specifically to the Web because the growth of
Web-based forums is the reason Usenet has fallen into
disuse.

Agreed.

Wait a minute...Arpanet was around and operational long before 1990.



We're not discussing ARPAnet. We're discussing the WWW.

What you are doing is equivalent to saying "Ipods existed in the 80s!"
just because some MP2s existed back then.
