Best Financial Planning Forum? *UPDATED*

Hi,

I was wondering if someone knew of a good financial planning forum with a fairly active community. I'm not looking for stock advice, but somewhere that I can ask about mortgages, what certain investments are, and taxes and such - preferably a moderated forum that isn't constantly spammed like Yahoo Forums.

I'm reviewing the Motley Fools forum and they seem promising, but I really wanted to join something that is free (they charge a fee). Suggestions anyone? Please let me know if you've used them for suggestions, alot of forums that have looked promising are actually junk.

This is my opinion of the forum sites I looked at, I'm probably going to add fatwallet and morningstar to my favorites and give clarkhoward another chance.

http://money.msn.com -- Too unfocused for my tastes
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/categories.cfm?catid=52 -- pretty good, people consistant with the rest of the fatwallet community
http://clarkhoward.com/cgi-bin/boards/postlist.pl?Board=clarkhowardmoney -- I bit too many clicks to actually get to info, I didn't spend too much time here
http://socialize.morningstar.com/newsocialize/asp/coverpage.asp?topnav=conversations -- more investment saavy people seem to go here
http://www.fool.com -- Good info, but it cost money
 
Cool thanks for the info. I'll check these out. Keep em coming if you have any more. I'll consolidate my findings once I check these out.
 
I've consolidated my descriptions of the sites. Feel free to post more, I think I'll most likely go to Fatwallet though-- I didn't know they had a financial section

I really like FW's finance forum although I use it mostly for credit card threads.
