Forums are the best
Bookmarked Forums Are Still Alive, Active, And A Treasure Trove Of Information - Aftermath.
When I want information, like the real stuff, I go to forums. Over the years, forums did not really get smaller, so much as the rest of the internet just got bigger. Reddit, Discord and Facebook groups have filled a lot of that space, but there is just certain information that requires the dedication of adults who have specifically signed up to be in one kind of community.
Amen! Forums are the best, and I still visit classic bulletin board-style forums every single day. To me, they are the true social web. This list from Chris is a treasure trove, and I will dig into and find new forums to frequent.
Here are some of the ones I visit regularly:
-
RedCafe: Where true Manchester United fans congregate! But, to be honest, it's the odd fans of rival clubs that make the discussions interesting.
-
The Acoustic Guitar Forum: Guitars. Guitars. Guitars. Some of these guys even play their guitars, too.
-
Zelda Universe Forums: I don't really visit that often, these days. But I'm a little bit proud of the fact that the community I started more than two decades ago on YaBB (Yet Another Bulletin Board) is still going strong. It's been a while since it was just me, my "alt accounts" and SirChuc posting there.
Do you frequent any forums? Let me know which, please!
