I don't regularly visit any others, but I used to read the PCGS.com coin forums a lot. 

Same here. I've posted at other mbs for a while, got bored and come back here. I posted at the Playstation 2 forums a while back, but gave up after 3 days. There are too many others to mention, and besides this is my favourite place to chill

Google Search my screen-name and find me elsewhere.

Yeah, people at most message boards are mean, because they can be.  It's because this board has rules and more importantly, a sense of community.  We actually care about the other members here.

I've never really encountered any mean people at other messageboards, but I have had my reasons for not posting there again...
One messageboard was like a concentration camp. Each topic section had a list of rules half a page long, and it was full of people who knew far more on the subject than me, so I was instantly put off
Another messageboard was just way too quick. Everytime I went to post a reply, 3 or 4 more replies would have been posted by the time my message had gone through. It was also really crowded, with between 500-600 users on at any one time
That's why I like this one. It's got rules, but it's not over-the-top strict, and although there are a fair number of users, you can usually get a word in edgeways

Eh, a few.. I always come back to this one, though. http://forum.pantsnetwork.com/images/smiles/s_hypnotized.gif

Plus, the vast majority of inthe00s members are dormant.  There's probably like 50 regular users, and 15 of those users make up like half the posts.

52,000 posts man, how do you do it?  Is posting your life?  :D ;D

I salute you.

I actually once requested to be banned from a messageboard because I didn't like the way the place was run.  At the time, I was a big time player there too with close to 9,000 posts (which was alot, becuase you were lucky if you got 100 posts per week)

I belong to mostly 80's messageboards (i80s and The 80's Server), but they have very little action, so I only make guest appearances there maybe once a week

inthe00s is my home and is the place I post at atleast once everyday :)

Was.

Yeah, i80s and The80sServer suck.  Who here is an exile from those boards?  I'm not.


I wouldn't say they suck.  They just don't have as popular a fan base as some of the other 80's messageboards out there.  There is another 80's messageboard called Pure 80's Chat that has a bunch of members who post often, but it's a British forum, so I don't much know about most of the things they talk about

I've actually seen your posts over at i80s or the 80s Server, I can't remember which one, maybe both.   You're "Always A Quality Poster".


That would be i80s.  I use that as my signature there. 

I was also a member of the 80sxchange for a long time.  I am since no longer a member there, but alot of the polls that I started are still on page 1 of most of the sections  :o

I should check that out.

I once went to a video game messageboard becuase I just had 1 question about some old arcade game.  I never got to ask my question because to register at that board, you had to fill out some 2 page thing, then you had to wait 5 days to receive your password, then once you become a member, you could only post a welcome thread.  Then you had to wait so many days before you could post actual topics.  Plus, you weren't allowed to start your own topics until you had aquired a certain number of posts.

I don't even remember the name of the place, but I am surprised they actually had members, and they had lots of members :o

Oh yeah, you're a numismatist!

If I may ask, how much is your collection worth?  Mine is probably about $1,000 right now, although it will be more when gold goes up further.

I am also a member of the Oldies Top 100 messageboard, which is very small (top posters have 200-plus posts), and the Let's Sing It Forum, which is quite the opposite (although there are A LOT of members with less than 100 posts, there are also A LOT with over 10,000 posts)

You know, 80s nostalgia is still a pretty new thing.  Maybe that's why they don't do so well.  Which is odd, considering how high they Google.


new for who? The 80s Server and myself both started around 1995....

For the majority of people.  There's '90s nostalgia today, but hardly anyone takes it seriously, especially considering 2006 is still pretty much like 1999.

I go to the following messageboards (but only on occasion): Mama's Family, The L Word, The 4400....and a few parenting ones.

The problem I have with some message boards is that the topics are too narrow. I used to go to a soap message board and how much can you actually talk about a soap? At least here, you can talk about the soaps, or music, or movies, or politics, or.....

This one and Renegade Retro are the main ones I post in now.

I am also a member to various others, but only have a post count less than 50 in each of them. Generally because the rules are way too strict (like a dictatorship almost... some forums I've visited, every post has to be moderated first) or the people are just plain idiots, or the topics are just too narrow.

I like this one and Renegade Retro because it's topics are quite open, people aren't (always) idiots and the rules are so strict to a point where it just isn't fun anymore.  ;)

I go to the Espn boards sometimes, and the Cleveland.com boards to chat about Cleveland sports mostly the Indians. I also go to the xbox boards occasionally.

Since Softball is my sport, passion, hobby, form of recreation, I used to frequent a couple of softball forums, however that has changed since joining inthe00s. I just don't visit those sites much anymore, but it is the off season and once we start playing, the thrill will revive. I like this place for regular day and nighttime message forum, board game fun.

Currently the only other forums i post in besides this are hipforums.

I also visit a place called The Science Forums.  I occasionally visit various BBC mesaageboards though they updated the software recently and spoilt things.

hipforums.
Been there. They seem pretty cool.  8)

Oh, yeah I also have my own forum. It's practically dead though.  ::)

i was in a forum that was for people who like to read, recommended books and stuff, and a bit of politics, but a big portion of
the posters were pompous asses who would go on for pages and pages about stuff that could have been said in a paragraph or
two.  There were too many who want to be published writers, but, for reasons obvious to everyone but them, will never get a book
published.  I stay here now.  :)

I used to go to WFNK & Prowrestling but I couldn't take their crap anymore so I stopped cause they made fun of me and I didn't like it so I terminated my account.

I go to the Retro Board and Fans Of Reality Tv.

This board is hands down the nicest place I've posted in. Most places are abound with flame wars and teasing.

The letssingit.com forum isn't all that friendly too (that's why I don't post there alot). You'll get flamed for posting topics more than once, being a newbie and/or mentioning that you're into emo... :-\\

I'm a trashy messageboard prostitute. I'm big on landofthelost.com (where they do detailed analyses of the old psychedelic 70s t.v. show -- and there's lots of right-wing politics for some reason???), fast-rewind.com (another 80s retro board, a lot cozier than this one), and I've just discovered ultimatedisney.com (c.f. my avatar) and bridgetothestars.net, which is devoted to the works of Philip Pullman, a real popular UK writer I rather like. Get this, on btts.net, there's all this pressure to use proper spelling and grammar all the time! I mean I can understand not wanting a bunch of messages that look like mobile text msgs but hello? Cn U spl UPTYTE?

I'm getting into lots of trouble on that site with my angry pro-jennifer aniston stance. I'm a militant jennifer anistonist. There's not a lot of us.

Inthe00s is still pretty much home base though.

You got that right.O0

This place is relatively devoid of jackasses, so I spend most time here.

I used to visit a place called Ubersite, but I left because it turned into nothing but flame wars, porn, and pictures of the pope (they had "Pope Pic Wednesday", even). I go to a forum my friend started for us in my town, I also go to a general chat forum. I used to own a Momus fanclub forum, but it died off.

I haven't been chilling much on any lately, but I do have my own board with a small group of people that are like family. We just goof off and don't take anything seriously over there. Ask Whistle , Papergirl, & DJMidas  ;D

We are a family over there.  But lately, I'm like the Uncle who only comes to visit on holidays  :\'(

I need to visit your board more.  I still haven't reached 1,000 yet there ;D

Yeah, and you still haven't brought me any goodies. Sure visit and not bring anything  :P ;D


That's cuz I'm a cheap Uncle ;D
