Researching the history of internet FP forums

[carlos.q]

Since the birth of the internet FP geeks have shared information thru email lists, BBS and USENET. With the appearance of the World Wide Web FP forums have appeared, thrived and disappeared. One of the drawbacks of Internet forums is that it is difficult to investigate their history. From a superficial search I have found these names:

Lion and Pen
Pentrace (now exists as newpentrace)
Rambling Snail
... any others?

Do you know any of any other, now defunct, FP internet forums? Did you participate in them? Do you know their history? Why did they disappear?
