Craigs list isn't even listed on that site even after a search, so I'm not sure I believe it's stats.

How's the culture over at offtopic.com and somethingawful?

Are they as strict on nudity/unwritten rules? More rampant nefs?

I dunno about Off Topic, but reading quite a bit of SomethingAwful they're less strict. You have to pay $5 to register though.
OffTopic is $5.50/month to get priviledges like an avatar, the search function, more than 5 PMs, etc.
but that is the most racist board i have ever been on.
and you don't HAVE to pay to post. i'll never give the place a cent.

That sucks and thanks for the info.

The only forums I've paid for are AT Subscriber service and LWS.

the biggest draw there is gone, too. no longer can you post "hot ;)" pics/links there thanks to the new 18 U.S.C 2257 regulations.

OffTopic is lame. Its like trying to have a meaningful conversation when 30 peopel are talking at the same time. Anandtech offers the best pace i think.

Yeah I think it's just perfect here. I've been to forums where trying to have a conversation leads to about, 7 replies in the exact same minute. :(

Hmm... I thought Gen May was bigger, but according to that site, it's actually smaller.

But out of those forums, AT just a unique community.
