Fathom is gone, along with the good Lady who ran it.
Less a forum, but my primary online spot has become FriendFeed. Initally set up as a social network, it was purchased by Facebook which has yet to shut it down. Rather than boards, you have a variety of groups on different topics, but can cross-post across them.
Interesting. Stormfront is in the top 100. It is bigger than every forum I’ve ever been on except The Dpoe. Makes me very sad and a little frightened
Yeah, I knew she was :(. I didn’t know if someone else took over the board or not. Now, I know for sure. Thanks Boz
I’m hoping the majority of the traffic goes there to laugh at the KKKavemen.
It’s no longer around, but Overgrow was a great board at one time.
I used to lurk on the Snopes forum.
It’s been a couple of years since I stopped following it, but if it hasn’t changed then you’ll find some intelligent and fun folk discussing some interesting topics.
It’s a mixed bag though.
The Fabulous Forums of Fathom faded out when Opal Cat crashed. Too bad.
Purse forums is 33 :eek:
Lotsa handbag affectionados.
Some geeks I know used to hang out on the xkcd forums - http://forums.xkcd.com/
I’ve been known to browse Whitechapelfrom time to time, which was a discussion board for the Freakangels webcomic but is generally quite cool (and still active, even though the comic finished years ago)
I used to post there back when I was into buying and selling higher-end handbags. :o Handbag aficionados is a diplomatic understatement.
Huh? What on earth do they have to talk about? That must be a cover for something else.
I’m wondering how certain boards have two ranks. StarTrekBBS is 181 and 182, same number of posters and everything. There were a couple of others like that.
Seriously, what is that Giraffe board about? It looks like SDMB’s twin??
Mods. The Impreza is a car that lends itself well to modding and has a ton of aftermarket stuff to bolt on. The thing about the impreza is that although a lot of the mods are superficial and really only cosmetic, there are changes you can make to really improve the performance. The WRX is lighting in a bottle but even it can be improved and I’ve heard tell that even a base model Impreza can be modded into quite a beast if you know what your doing. If you don’t know what you’re doing, then you visit the forums and ask questions.
Did they turn to glad rags?
The Fabulous Forums of Fathom were the SDMB’s twin.
Giraffeboards are the SDMB’s evil twin.
IIRC, Giraffe set up the boards as an alternative when SDMB went pay-to-post; now it seems to primarily serve as a snarkpit.
Tho there is indeed some snarking (don’t forget the fun poking), it’s pretty much confined. And there are members there who know nothing of the current SDMB, either having left SD or never been on it.
Many Dopers who also post on Geeb use their same screen name, so it might on the surface look like just a satellite board.
But it isn’t. (Unless you make your own use of it that way.) There is a lot of fun, interesting, and even bawdy stuff happening over there. The picture forums are one of the place’s plusses.
