A friend once made a point of always swiping left on Tindr matches with pictures of men holding huge carp. Thanks to your post I finally get what she was on about.

Lurk around the Birmingham sub forum on Skyscraper City.

Occasionally have a look on some Wolves forums, but football forums in general tend to be a bit of a cess pit.

Have started mooching around a railway forum recently - for work/research purposes, you must understand.

No but dreamt last night that I was in some random chatroom and Joke was there, but I was being discreet with my username so he didn’t know it was me

Like a look on YBIG, the Ireland supporter’s forum, for updates on individual players/the kind of debates pissed aul lads would be having sitting at the bar at 2pm

I’m trying to wean myself off FB and guitar forums so I won’t take you up on the offer. I wish I’d found something like that ten years ago!

It only got set up a few months ago- there was a bit of a rough start at the beginning with men throwing tantrums after being pulled up on their behaviour (especially by female moderators, because they didn’t even have the concept that they could be in charge), but it settled in really nicely.

Lurked here for quite a while on and off before posting a bit as of last year. Post on one other broadish forum and one specific-format-of-music-gear one. I’m on a few discord servers that I mostly observe, drop in on the cook’d and bomb’d glinner thread… Theres a couple of long-dead experimental music forums I’ve read lots of old threads on: places I’d have been active if I’d been around 10 years earlier.

I bounce between AIBU and AITA on Reddit constantly. AIBU is hands down the madder, more dramatic site.

I sometimes read Digital Spy forums about shows that don’t get much chat on here (ITV dramas my mum watches and the like)

A few I used to frequent a lot, mostly around 10 years ago:

Brooklyn Vegan comments section - lots of arguing and silly jokes about hummus. Was pretty entertaining in an immature way.

Letsrun - I was obsessed with my own amateur attempts at distance running, as well as professional running, and it could have lots of good discussion as well as funny threads. But it slowly became a haven for alt-right college kids, due to its very lax moderation. It all came to a head when Trump was elected and I never went back. I dread to think what it’s like wrt Covid discussion.

Lonely Planet Thorn Tree - I was an early adopter on this one, posting from about 1997. I got a lot of great advice, particularly for a long South America trip in 1999, when information was a lot more scarce. Now it’s so much easier to find out travel info online that the forum is pretty redundant. I assume Covid has completely killed it off (along with most of the travel industry).

Now the only forums I read besides DiS are the Cambridge and Learn Spanish subreddits.

This reminds me of my first tinychat experience, when I was too shy to put my actual username, but unbeknownst to me, another tinychat regular had just been kicked out for being a creep and everyone thought i was him

I get nostalgic for the old days of internet forums but then again, they were responsible for so much of my internalised misogyny. :confused:
