The link works, but I need to add that to find Backpackers, you click on Public Society Listing. Try us, we’re nice.

[The Thorntree](http://thorntree.lonelyplanet.com) on the Lonely Planet website is essentially a travel message board, but there are several categories for more general discussion. It’s very active as well, with lots of international posters.

Star Wars and D&D boards. I gave up on White Wolf years ago.

Actually, I really only glance at the others. The SDMB is just too good.

Good number of posters here hang there. Hosted by James Randi, [Randi.org](http://Randi.org) is also helping to fight ignorance.

It’s a must visit if you like what goes on around here.

Count me as another Urban75 fan. Don’t post much there any more since I joined the police, since it’s quite the anarchists board of choice, but it can be very interesting to see the how’s and why’s of that way of thinking.

I hang around at [Hard Radio](http://www.hardradio.com) since we don’t get much metal music around here. We do get some very interesting trolls over there from time to time though.

[thatsracin.com](http://thatsracin.com) has a message board that I posted to from time to time, but it’s not moderated and has devolved into “Jeff Gordon is a sucky fag!” and “Dale Earnhardt Jr. sux big time OMGFPLFDMAO!!!~!!~!!~!~:” so I gave up.

I still visit some newsgroups but since I use [groups.google.com](http://groups.google.com) the time lag and missing messages make it useless.
