No proper forums or message boards (like DTF) but I hang a lot in Facebook groups, I'm an admin in a couple of them. Only music related groups.

My brother is a member of a home-brewing forum that I also joined - obviously a lot about brewing beer and other stuff, but also has an "off topic" forum for general discussion.

I post a lot on youtube videos and on twitter discussions now too, but those aren't technically forums.

I spend a fair amount of time on talkbeer.com because A) it's a pretty great community of beer people and B) It was started by one of my friends and so most of my beer social circle in NJ/NYC are on there. Don't actively post anywhere else, but I do browse the occasional subreddit when I'm really bored.

I post at Mike's site, and I have accounts at Fish's old site, Marillion's site, Phil Collins' site (I don't know if that is still up or not) and the old official Genesis site (archived).   I also have an account at Michael Moorcock's site, but it's been in limbo for some time and is essentially a shitty wiki right now.   I love Mike, and he's good guy (I've been lucky enough to have a number of email conversations - not unlike the ones in P/R here - with him, but the guy who runs the site is a bit of the dick.  He's the stereotypical nerd/mod who let his admin powers go to his head.)

I post at the Alter Bridge Nation forums, but haven't posted there much due to work and the forum being relatively inactive from time to time.

I also post at the Wrestling section of the TwoPlusTwo poker forum from time to time.  Used to post at the hockey threads of their Sports section as well.

Nowadays, I find myself chatting and watching streams with a couple of good communities on Twitch.tv, mainly Crendor and Cryaotic's channel.

I don't think so. If he is he's not using the blobvandam username.

He might be incognito. Look for someone who is always putting off work.  :biggrin:

I'm a huge amusement park enthusiast and I used to post almost every day at Great Adventure Online but the forums are largely inactive now. It's sad because back in the day is was the largest online Six Flags Great Adventure community. Much like the DTF community, the gadv.com community often times felt almost like family.

Most of the members were in high school and college. Once they grew up and started their careers, they didn't have as much time to post. With an amusement park forum, most of the content is trip reports and since the members had less time to go to the park, less content was posted.

Used to post in the Fates Warning board, the Mike Portnoy forum and the Ayreon/Arjen Lucassen forum.

Nowadays, just this one, there's just too much to do.

I'm periodically active on Facebook.

I'm pretty much addicted to reaction video's on Youtube.

I love those. There's a bar in...Chicago? They film the reactions to Game of Thrones episodes. Good stuff.

What's your name at PA? I post there from time to time.

Yes, that's the one! Some of those are really good. I think I actually got the chills when they were watching when Jon came back to life.

Same as here. I don't post hugely often though; I'd rather go where there are enthusiasts for bands I like rather than seeing endless criticisms of them. Although I do feel that survivors for certain prog bands would do better there than here, tbh.

I used to post over at Dragonmount (A forum for the fantasy series The Wheel of Time) about 8 years ago. Due to the news that has dropped today, about the potential TV series in the pipeline, I actually visited for the first time in about 4 years. Good times.
