I need a Favor: What other sites like DTF do you enjoy?
« on: November 04, 2011, 08:45:10 AM »
Hi Everyone,

Im kinda like ummmm "older" and I dont know "puters" that well .. what is that Im looking to google to come up with sites like this place is it that this is an "org"? or a "forum".. what is this format called here?

I like Bacon, Music and Current Events, News...

Thanks in advance all you nice people of DTF!!!

Good luck finding another forum community as good as this one!

the .org in this site's url is just a matter of the fact that domain name was available. dreamtheaterforums.com was still owned by the other forum at the time, that's the only reason we're not .com as far as I'm aware.

You'd be looking for forums. Just Google "....... forum" with whatever topic of forum you want to find, I suppose. Not sure you'll find a topical bacon music forum though!

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Basically, like this place, just way more free, and that means people are free to insult you and call you dirty names.

Aside from that... forums are kinda dead, man.

Probably because a lot of people prefer to post stuff on twitter and facebook now, as opposed to trying to find a good forum for their favorite band, interest or whatever.  And just about any band or interest now has something on twitter and/or facebook, and I would imagine that most people would rather dabble on those sites rather than take the time to sign up for a forum they aren't likely to spend a lot of time at anyway.

my frequented sites:

dreamtheaterforums.org
explosm.net

gamefaqs.com

Yeah that's pretty much it.

GameFAQS has some pretty cool forums. Used to chill on PotD, back in my day. I still stop in a few times a year. I started frequenting one of the (very NSFW) off shoots for a while. It was kind of like the site-that-shall-not-be-named. Except a very small close knit group. And an actual forum, rather than an imageboard. I never posted a lot on the offshoot, but it's pretty great to lurk and all that. I'm not sure if I'd be allowed to link it. I mean, you have to sign up to see things, and most NSFW is warned. But things can be a little strict here. I'll err on the side of caution for now.

This. On top of that, a lot of new "specialized" forums simply allow members to post via logging in with their facebook/twitter info. The Game of Thrones forum is that way.

Good luck finding another forum community as good as this one!

I am apart of what I'd consider a tighter community only for the reason that the people there (who has stayed) are all smart minded and creative though the community was based on a very niche subject. It's been going strong for over 12 years and only recently has a timeline of past events made present showcased the radical history of the forum. DTF and 5/8 has had a few but I'll be damned if I don't remember the ones on this other forum as much.

That being said I'm still most active in DTF and at times 5/8. I've dabbled in others but those just can't compare.

I'm sure Jon Schafer would enjoy your views of Obama if there is an Iced Earth board.  I'm only throwing that out there because you started this thread right after your P/R ban and I'm guessing you want "that" kind of conversation.

EPIC, try Samsara's site, The Breakdown Room
https://www.anybodylistening.net/breakdownroom/

Basically a Queensryche forum, but there is a General Music Discussion section called the Backstage Lounge. Most of the members are fellow fogies as far as I can tell. Nice group of people it seems.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol
