Fark. I used to be a Totalfarker as well (a paid version of Fark which gives you access to all the submitted links). Even though I’ve been there forever (c. 2001), the flamy-ness of the comments turn me off. The threads routinely degenerate into insult-fests in no time and the moderation is spotty. That’s why I like this place. There’s designated flame areas if that’s to your liking 🙂 ---

> [@Ponch8](#): > > SDMB and [Golden-road.net](http://Golden-road.net). The latter is a message board for fans of _The Price is Right._ It also includes rare photos of behind-the-scenes stuff, information on each of the pricing games, and a timeline listing various events and game debuts from the premiere in September 1972 up through today. I forgot to mention that my username on [Golden-road.net](http://Golden-road.net) is the same as my name here. ---

I’m Jragony at the Lionhead Studios Boards, but I only log in once every 6 months or so now, especially since they “upgraded” their forum software away from vBulletin after the Microsoft buyout. ---

This one. I’m also a member of [The Oakley Review](http://www.o-review.com/), a fan site/database of Oakley products, but I haven’t visited regularly in a very long time. I also used to be an occasional contributor to [DDTDigest.com](http://DDTDigest.com), a sort of pro wrestling fansite/blog, although it didn’t have a forum; the first hit if you google my name is the credits for a drinking game I helped come up with which was posted there. ETA: Actually, my Facebook page seems to have overtaken it. ---

In some of the other forums that I’m a member of, I use my real name as my username. **Secret Projects Forum** (Unbuilt projects and aviation technology) **What-If Modellers Forum** (Models and artwork of speculative aircraft, ships, etc.) **[Ancestry.com](http://Ancestry.com)** Not really a forum per se, but as much as I communicate with people there, it seems like a forum sometimes. I 've been researching many of my ancestors, (and getting in contact with many other extended family members), from all over **West Virginia** , and other places as well. ---
