Well, hmm. That depends on the definition, I suppose.
I did a few short text adventures on IRC before I even knew MSPA existed, but the first one I actually did on a forum was The Pointless Adventures of Nopor Puss, which I did all the way back on Wars World News.
I'd introduced the character of Nopor Puss to them a while back, and then the site went through a text adventure fad (which lead to me discovering MSPA), and somewhere in there I decided to make a Nopor Puss adventure.
The basic concept was simple: since Nopor Puss always does the most pointless thing he can, I'd have a setup where he could immediately end the adventure, if not for the fact that he was trying to be pointless. So I started him in a room with a nonsensically-named artifact and made it his goal to get that artifact. Then the adventure was a series of increasingly ridiculous events that kept him from getting the amulet.
In addition, my avatar was actually inspired by a joke in there, where he received the command "Pretend you are Pac-Man" and interpreted it as pretending that I was Pac-Man. In addition, every subsequent command which used "you" was treated as referring to Pac-Man.
Later, I reposted the whole mess on MSPA and then made a sequel, and I still make Nopor Puss jokes pretty often because he's such a ridiculous character. Actually, I should update the sequel sometime now that I have the relevant files again.
