What other forums do you frequent?
Ok, we all know we like 'poly and we spent prodigious amounts of time here, but, what other internet forums do you frequent? I find myself using counterglow, since I like EU2 I stop by the Paradox forums on a regular basis, and I just got NWN so I've been posting on Bioware's forums.

Which forums do you use and why?

NWN- good multiplayer game. I posted on those forms for a little bit- just on topic stuff though.

I don't have time for much more than Apolyton though. though the last couple of days I have been posting at CG. and I post on-topic stuff at ACOL.

I can never pass up an attempt to promote a dying forum. But it can be a place to find PBEM games for SMAC. Although not as busy as it once was. It used to be the place to find pbem's for smac. You may have a better shot here now. . The off-topic is dead. Everyoen left for counterglow. There were some huge fights and power struggles. And in the process most people left .

Boy you weren't kidding about ACOL being dead. Half of there forums didn't have a single thread not even one from the moderators.

There used to be a time there were no moderators. Ahh those were the days...

I do have the show threads for the last 30 days. So it looks like there are more threads there.

Final Fantasy Online. And that's about it.

I go to here for the Off-Topic (not being a huge Civver anymore) and to FFO for the on-topic (you won't even be able to see their General Chat- you need 30 posts to see it, and even with that filter, there's still not much worth seeing there).

Twisted and very British, I'm spending more and more time there, since Apolyton's gone a bit dull.

That and the EU2 forums, look out for my first AAR.

It seems alot of you like the straight dope web site. I read the book a while back and it was interesting. Is the forum on a similiar theme?
