Wondering George: which online forums do you spend time on?
I work nights and often spend long hours killing time doing very little. I'm wondering what online forums the other Monkeys enjoy spending time participating in (aside from the rather obvious MoFi / MeFi)? Be it politics, technology, entertainment, special interest, sex, you-name-it - what are the engaging forum sites out there on the net?
-
There's this really cool place, but I can't tell you about it. There's a rule.
-
I like Style Forum, the '22 (old school monkey), Twinkle2Blah3, womenfolk, stltoday, and 43folders.
-
William Gibson Board. Especulative fiction, hardcore book devourers, social and technology issues, lots of inside jokes; troll roasting daily.
-
Well, it certainly varies from day to day, but the ones that keep me coming back are: Kevin Kelly, The Sachs Report--which sometimes does not get updated for far too long, lileks.com, petite anglaise, Wil Wheaton, and mimi smartypants--which is not updated nearly as often as I would like. There are more that I meander through, but these are the basics. Other than KOL, of course.
-
Only one I visit is Monkeyfilter.
-
I visit quite a few Chinese language forums partly for work-related research and also just to read - often see things that don't make the mainstream media here. Also keep up to date with news and views about my hometown football club (the mighty *ahem* Crewe Alexandra). Otherwise the odd political blog if I fancy a Mrs Merton style 'let's have a heated debate' interlude.
-
I don't read the internet.
-
There is but one forum. Monkeyfilter is its name. Or possibly MoFi. Whatever you find handier.
-
Oh I don't mind. You decide.
-
I think it's your turn, actually. Not that I'm keeping tabs.
-
Let's go for MoFi. Less typing.
-
Done.
-
Oh -- and don't let us keep you from discussing the topic at hand. Pretend we're not here.
-
Yes. We're not here.
-
TCPunk needs daily visits but I never log off of Purple Pink and Orange if I can help it.
-
planetthoughtful: Does your company have any more vacancies?
-
LF I read MoFi and sometimes MeFi, but I participate on LF.
-
Empty Flower, for motivation to train.
-
Well, MoFi is the main one. And, of course, #HorseRapeIRC.
-
#HorseRapeIRC Is that where you can learn more about special kinds of Canola oil, Nickdanger?
