What other online forums do you use?

Only this one. I’m loyal to a fault.

Is there some historical, folklorical, genetic, ancestral, filial relationship between the SDMB and Giraffeboards?

What the fuck? I just took a look at this, and it seems its all the same posters as here.

Yes, there is some connection…

what? naw! :stuck_out_tongue:

International Waters (radio control boat racing)

HDForums (Harley-Davidson owners)

It must be a secret.

The SDMB poster Giraffe decided to start his own. It was partly a schism over moderating and partly a concern that SDMB might shut down without warning and the community would just dissipate.

Many SDMBers joined as an emergency backup. Then SDMB got out of money trouble and has survived since. Meanwhile Giraffeboards sorta took off on their own.

For awhile there were some hard feelings but it seems nowadays the tone is mostly live & let live.

I lurked on Fark for years before becoming a “Liter.” I also go to Quora. My theory is that Quorans are really aliens from the Horsehead Nebula trying to understand how hoo-mons work. I used to love Television Without Pity (RIP) and the IMDb boards. I joined Reddit recently and am enjoying it so far.

Correctomundo!

How did I fuck that up? I am standing here beside myself in awe of my mis-directed talents.

Anyway, do look up the “Map Bullshit” thread for what I’m talking about.

Me? Back to “The Drink!”

Reddit definitely. Quality varies widely but quantity is huge. And if there isn’t a subreddit for your particular niche, create it. It’s also satisfying upvoting and downvoting comments.

You’ve got to be kidding me!

I’ve been a Farker since '99 when it began…lost my original low four digit user number when i forgot my login…Liter since '03.

St louis post forums, usually for Blues news and food.

Two dogsled forums…I follow long distance sleddoggin’, the Yukon Quest and the Iditarod.

My current favorites: SDMB, AskAManager, Greytalk

I also like Flyertalk although the corporate ownership has dropped its quality over the last few years and they blatantly disregard the wishes of the participants which is annoying.

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of threads on the SomethingAwful forums.

I want to like Reddit and DailyWTF but their interfaces are annoying as shit.

I’m shocked, SHOCKED, to find that out.

What’s your Fark Handle, if I may ask? I’m InvisibleInsane, from the computer translation of the phrase “Out of sight, out of mind.”

GratefullyAlive…i rarely post but read daily.

I just went to the only other forum I’ve regularly posted in…
and find that it shut down on 5/12.

Space Battles.

Fark and Reddit I read daily but post rarely. I was pretty active on Craftster for a while but not so much any more.
