It's where I go for philosophical/political/religious discussions forbidden in the Playground. I wouldn't recommend Giantitpers to check out the Anachronists' Guild, though, since Taleworlds folks will most likely come off as..."evil", to you.

I used to be a regular on thedarktower.net, then kind of slouched off there after the seventh book in the Dark Tower series came out. I view a few political blogs, and comment there occasionally, but otherwise nothing.

None really. I only really get involved in one forum at a time. I mean, I comment on some blogs but I couldn't name any of the other posters there. I stick with the playground because it's nicer and better moderated than other forums out there. The only times I felt I was being flamed over here were by new posters who were used to a more aggressive netiquette.

The closest thing I use to another forum is metafilter. It considers itself a multiuser blog (and I guess it technically is a blog because the newest posts are on top rather than the post with the most recent reply). What I like about it is that a small moentary donation is required and users are only allowed to post once a week. This keeps the quality of the posts really high. People actually use the search function if they don't want to waste their weekly post.

I know i'm a member of SO many others (Lesbotronic, various mac ones, reptiles queensland... numerous ones on flickr) but i'm pretty lazy about posting to one forum, so more than that is just too much effort.

I used to be on another DnD oriented forum but most of the people on it were about 12 and SERIOUSLY racist and homophobic and the admin did jack to police the forum.

2008-12-17, 01:22 PM
I started on WotC and migrated over here. I've posted a couple questions over there since but otherwise this is pretty much my only frequently-visited forum. There's a couple other forums I've posted on infrequently at best as well as a barrage of posting on the WoW forums a few months ago (but to which I haven't returned recently).

There is a LiveJournal community I post on occasionally, but it would be considered forum inappropriate to discuss here.

I use the same username pretty much everywhere, though, so if you see a ghost_warlock somewhere, there's a good chance it's me. :smallsmile:

@VV: Oh, yeah, Myth-Weavers. Forgot about them...use that site for character sheet hosting. I was involved in a CoC PbP game there for a while but it died. I think I have about 20 posts there. :smallamused:

2008-12-17, 01:27 PM
Like ghost_warlock, I started on the WotC forums (as Krugg, but that name was taken here) and then migrated to the Playground. This is basically the only place I post, except for occasionally over at Myth-Weavers (I think I have like 6 posts there) or on the WotC boards every 6+ months. I lurk on ENWorld, though! :smalltongue: I usually go by either this name (rtg0922) or RTGoodman, though there are a few exceptions.

I am active on the Giantitp forums and on the Peta forums. I do however also look at the D&D WotC forums, but I don't have an account there. Other than that I don't regurly visit any other forums. I did follow the 9thwonders forum a few weeks.

GameFAQs. My first excursion to the online world, really. I've been part of a RPG/CF on a dead board there since 2005. I rarely venture outside that specific board of late, but I occasionally go on various sports-related ones. I used to be all over the place, and very active, but I've "slimmed down" so to speak. My claim to fame (sorta) is that I was the first on the Battlefront 2 board to reach 1,000 Endurance medals. Heh.

At various times I've been at wotmania, Portkey, maybe a couple others. I read articles on TVTropes, but have never seen its forums, and have made exactly one contribution. I recently began trawling through the archives of The Dancing Dove, and I lurk a time or two on the forum for Goblins.

woo a chance to plug my new forum :smallbiggrin:

Well I'll start at the beginning- my introduction to the net was Just Discworld, a DW fan group on MSN groups (R.I.P), then things quieted down as I tried to find a new place where I'd be welcomed... I joined Radio Rivendell (very good fantasy radio stream, perfect as background music for D&D) with very friendly though not very active members, then I created my new Discworld Online (http://s1.zetaboards.com/Discworld_Online) forum, an RP site which is still growing up- less than 10 members and less than a fortnight old atm, then I found my way here :smallbiggrin: I know you're active enough to keep me entertained, and hopefully you're all friendly enough too... And who knows, perhaps you might end up on my group :smallsmile:

I promise I'll stop plugging now...

EDIT: forgot to mention I'm a fan of tvtropes too, though not ocme across the forum yet...

I used to be addicted to the Yahoo Message Boards... Endless flaming, some of the greatest trolls to ever stalk the internets, and general lawlessness... Good times, good times... :smallbiggrin:

Now they are gone, and there are no places left where you can get involved in such over the top arguments.

I miss pajerla and marine core soldier... cindybin... killtown... Truly awesome trolls.

Now forums either have moderators who keep out the riff-raff, or the forums are strongly riff OR raff, preventing their opposite from getting a foothold on their boards.

The only other forum I spend a lot of time on these days is my buddy's Toku/Japanese entertainment site, Henshin Justice (http://henshinjustice.com/). I don't really get into the hobby aspect, but I sure do yap a lot on the Power Chamber forum.

Other than that, I post on Pimptania (http://www.pimptania.com/forums/)an average of once a day, and every once in a while drop by at Myth-Weavers (http://www.myth-weavers.com/).

I'm a lurker on the Dumpshock (http://www.dumpshock.com/)forums, as well as Achewood (http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/home), which is a guaranteed bucket of belly laughs.

I used to frequent 40konline.com (a banner on that site is how i found this one), but I made a bit of an ass of myself (due to posting at a young age, 13-15 or so) and so took a break. I never really got back into it.

I also post on a forum I wont list, due to content innapropriate here (psychedelic drugs). If even mentioning that is innapropiate I'll remove it.

I used to attend the Homestar Runner Wikipedia Forum: http://forum.hrwiki.org/

It was great. I joined in 2005, and there was a wonderful community of people there who all got along, and then one day, internet drama started happening, everybody got really mad at each other and rude, and the admins shut down the off-subject section of the forum (which was where the actual community was) and a group of regulars set up a separate forum sometime over summer, but I didn't keep up with it. I checked it about a week ago and found that the website didn't exist anymore. I was pretty okay with that because I wasn't really a regular anymore, but it pained me to see such a large part of my life drift away.

In between the time that the off-subject was shut down and I stopped going all together, I remembered the forums here, hung out a little, and decided I LOVED IT!:smallbiggrin:

Heheh. I'm not on that one, but my husband is. I get called over to appreciate the most smart-arse commentary. My parallel board is dead and not even reanimated.

My home forum is The Pen is Mightier than the Sword (http://www.themightypen.net/) -- a writers' and roleplayers' site* which is dying slowly but graciously. Post your story over there and it's likely I'll be the one to give the in-depth edit.

*but not RPG. I tried to transplant the dice-based PbP style there and it didn't flourish.

I occasionally post on an LJ community deemed inappropriate here but other than that and character sheet hosting I'm exclusive to GitP. I've tried branching out a couple times but never really made much leeway or felt compelled to post more than a few times elsewhere. I used to traffic the WotC boards quite a bit before I came here but haven't spent much time there since.

I used to be part of a few forums. My first forum was a PBPRPG forum based on a Salem with a fantasy setting. It closed down due to a guy getting too serious about an IC romance, and saying he'll leave his wife to be with the admin. >> Yeah, I was 12 then.

After that I tried some Star Wars Furry PBPRPG site, but... it was boring, and their work was sub-par. Less than that, even. The funny part was I didn't know what a furry was until after I ditched the site.

Later I joined a few sites. One was an FF7 PBPPRG, and I think the people in it were far too serious for their own good. I got banned for making a joke character. (joined giantitp around this point, but left)

Then I joined Urealms, which I don't regret. It lost its flavour when Rob remade it. Now it's... well, it's boring as hell. Granted, it wasn't very good to begin with. (joined giantitp twice in this time, in the course of 4 months I had two accounts, but ditched them out of WoW calling)

When I left, I left with a small group of individuals. One of which started his own comic. http://twistedsanity.freesmfhosting.com/index.php

At the same time I joined a friend of mine's forum. It's a forum that combines all the FF games into one via merging of worlds plot. They're deciding on what to do right now (move plot forward to after the merging, or let it stay as is for a bit longer) http://ffconvergence.proboards49.com/index.cgi

Oh, and I joined a forum called Secret Spies, and by god is it boring. I just joined it to make fun of the name. SS.

And I don't really frequent any of these any more. I just go to giantitp now since the FF one isn't moving at a speed I'd like, and I don't really like comics. The rest suck.

I go to the RPG.net forums, but mostly because the guild I got into on WoW is based from there, I rarely post in unrelated threads.

I used to hang out at the Fantasy Flight Games forum for Arkham Horror. I think I stopped hanging out there at about the same time as I started hanging out here. Just more interesting/varied topics of conversation to be had.

I suppose that makes this the only forum I go to for non-specific reasons, just to generally poke around different discussions.

I'm a bit tired of forums in general. But I frequent others, even if it's mostly lurking.

There's a local rpg forum, of which I only follow the D&D section. I also read and post at the RPTools forum. Then I go to 4chan because it amuses me (I never set foot on /b/ though, not that there's anything wrong with it).

www.pbphouse.com --> PBPforum, a little bit of everything, WFRP, MnM, DnD. I'm running two games and I'm in I think 3 more... I spend far to much time there.

My school has some forums (both official and unofficial) i use those a lot. Mostly for debating/getting to know people (its an online school... so I've never actually MET any of my class/schoolmates).

In my lifetime I've visited/joined lots of forums. My first forum was called koaworld.com, it was a WoW/Warcraft Forum that slowly died about the time WoW was released. I was like 12... and I loved that forum. Did my first Role-playing there. :)

www.blpublishing.com had a lot of forums I went to. The BI forum (before it was shut down) had some great members. The Black Library one too. Then they moved to a new URL (the one I linked) and shut down BI and I left...

for a short while I went to the Fantasy Flight games forums (http://new.fantasyflightgames.com/). Mostly for WFRP and Dark Heresy. Good stuff there. Haven't visited in a while... don't have the time. Though it is really fun to read threads about the population desnity of the Empire. :p

Then there was 40kterra.com That is a great website. I left around the time the website crashed (stupid hackers...) and I haven't been back, I'm not sure I want to though... dunno why.
