I’ve come to the conclusion recently that forums I’ve generally liked in the past, mostly dealing with PC gaming, have lost their appeal to me. I’ve realized that I very rarely care enough about any of the topics discussed in these forums to post or participate in discussions, and/or much of the discussion on topics I do care about is not to my liking due to my seemingly increasing dislike of other posters’ attitudes/thoughts on most subjects (again, mostly pertaining to PC games). I’ve further concluded that my thoughts/likes/dislikes/peeves/preferences about PC games are rather unique and are not generally shared by most other PC gamers, and when I honestly express my views on most topics, I am confronted with negativity I truly do not have the time, interest or energy to argue, debate, RAGE, or conduct lengthy back-and-forth discussions about. In one of my now-avoided-with-extreme-prejudice forums, I recently received what I considered very far from reasonable, extremely volatile responses to what I believed to be rather simple, harmless, non-confrontational commentary on my part, and I found myself seriously bothered by it, and even more bothered by the fact that I let it bother me. Hence, this reevaluation.
Therefore, I’m now quite certain that I need a very serious change in my forum-browsing habits.
Does anyone have any suggestions of forums I might find interesting, given this list of my “likes/interests”?:
- This forum, for general topics that cover everything (obviously)
- Guitar and/or Bass Guitar (I play both and am in 2 bands at the moment)
- Lead and Harmony Vocals (I’m also a singer in both bands)
- Country Music (but I do like all genres except Rap and Hip-Hop)
- Body Building/Exercise/Fitness
- Healthy Foods/Recipes
- PC building/components (I’ve built a dozen or so systems, and enjoy it)
- War History, especially the American Civil War, WWI or WWII, but other war history is great, too
- String Theory, Quantum physics, or any type of Physics discussion
- Science Fiction books
- Horror books
- Fantasy books
Yes, I do realize I could Google all of this, but I’m hoping some here have already found the “best” sites.
Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated!
