Once upon a time I had links to those low quality boards where those disenchanted with our outstanding board crawled in slime to post. 🙂

[Fathom.org](http://fff.fathom.org/forums/) (a high quality but low volume board) used to be one of those places, but has gotten almost none in past couple of years. Their “SDMB Haven” forum has been renamed to:

> [@](#):

> \*\*Heads Up! \*\*  
> Found something interesting in the paper or on the Internet? This is where you can share it with others. (formerly the SDMB Haven) - more info

I think there’s freebie blog sites that change with the seasons, but I don’t have much use for gossip so I don’t follow them, just see references by others about feuds etc.

Thanks, Pliny. “Fathom” was the bookmarks I lost.
