I’m curious, what other bulletin boards (if any) do the teeming millions grace with their presence? I’m an infrequent member of

[http://www.fathom.org](http://www.fathom.org) - Under the nameBiggianthead

and

[http://www.greylabyrinth.com](http://www.greylabyrinth.com) - You can contribute unregistered here so I just use any old name.

So, what other BBS’s do you guys visit, and what are you known as?

I think if you’ll check for some of the old threads on this subject that many people here also post to fathom and to snopes. I personally came here from snopes. Also, several people here actually run message boards, too, IIRC.

Yeah, there are some other threads like this.

But I’ll post anyway.

[http://www.horror.net/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro&BypassCookie=true](http://www.horror.net/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro&BypassCookie=true) The Books forum is a pretty decent site for folks who like horror novels. (There are weirdos in the other fora.:))

Friendly board, not a lot of extraneous chitchat, and a few writers hang out there too.

(I’m not sure if I knew about this one when the other threads were active.)

I’m gonna have to learn how to do that cool thing with urls.

I hang out at [http://www.pyroto.com](http://www.pyroto.com) (no surprise there, as I’m the primary designer). I also hang out at [http://www.fark.com](http://www.fark.com). Both sites are … different.
