Just for fun, what other forums do you use regularly (not just a member of)? For me, it's just two: CRZ Forum for my car EduGeek because I work in IT in education |

EduGeek!
Self awareness is a fine attribute!

EduGeek! Self awareness is a fine attribute! LOL - thought you'd like that one. It's a superb and informative forum for those of us at the cutting (sometimes bleeding) edge of IT in education. |

I dip into old chum Hamish' Real Photographers Forum every now and then. . . There is also the Forestry Forum. Ah yes, I had forgotten to login to Hamish's site for a long time. I'm now back in. There just had to be a Forestry forum! |

I used to be quite busy on several of the old usenet groups for forestry. Hifi too, for that matter.

I've stopped using the photo forums as they all seem to be dominated by people who criticise even the simplest posts, without giving much in the way of help.
A couple of car forums (Suzuki and Subaru) as they do seem to be good for factual questions.
Cyrus(both) and Pinkfish for hifi

Try the Real Photographer's Forum, zippy, there's a lot of help in there and the emphasis is on positive critique.

This is my most prominent forum by a large margin. Additionally, I like a look at the Naim forum for a laugh (there are some complete nutters on there  )... and occasionally look at PFM and AoS. And extremely rarely look at a few Audi forums. |

This and AoS, but to be honest I don't really have time to spend on forums, but I'm only interested in music forums and mostly it's just the music threads which engage me. If they were just about Hi-fi I doubt I would check in that much.
But I do like reading posts by certain members on both forums, some because I like the person and others becuase they are idiot's, everyone likes to watch people making fools of themselves, don't they? . . . . I do it all the time!

Which music forums do you like the most, Tim?

I think you may have misunderstood me Martin, I only visit TAS and AoS and mostly just read the 'music' related threads, so I only read a fraction of what's available. I look at most for sale threads, but only for the pictures, which can reveal a lot about the person. More interesting than the gear I used to read Steve Hoffman, but it's way too busy to keep on top of as a casual reader. You would need to visit it every day, for a considerable amount of time, to keep on top of it. So it's just this forum and AoS and I spend more time reading the Bandsintown app than any Internet forum. |

Ok, thanks Tim. I may dip into the Steve Hoffman forum again, although the last time I tried I came away with friction burns!
EDIT: it's hard to keep up even with the thread list in Music Corner. Every time I go back to it, it's in a different order because of new posts. It has over 200,000 threads in there alone!

HFS and TalkBass mostly, although that Real Photographers Forum looks interesting. I used to be a member of quite a few 3D modelling forums and was an admin on one, but both my free time and my interest waned.

I look into PFM, AoS and Wigwam.
When I somehow find more time I'll be into cycling and DIY forums

Car forums can be great fun, but the dorks who talk horsepower as if that was the only criteria remind me of those whose first question of a hi-fi system is "how many Watts?"  |

I look at AOS if I am down and need a laugh, I don't post as I am banned, TAS very rarely as its boring, WAM as I sell on there, PFM occasionally, DIY Audio as its massive and I have my own shop there.
