Useful to me:

MSFN Forums

Hope I don't get banned for mentioning a different forum.

On one hand I'd think Anandtech would not like other forums being referenced, because they want eyes on the adverts sold on Anandtech.

But this new redesigned forums no longer displays the other parts of Anandtech across the top, where the adverts appear in other sections, so maybe it's OK for now.

I sent you a PM with a bunch more because I think it wouldn't be right to list them here. I appreciate the Anandtech forums, and Anandtech is, after all, a for-profit business, so best to not send eyes away.

www.somethingawful.com cost 10 dollars to post, but it is the king of forums if you ask me. It's very easy to get banned so all the content there is relevant in one way or another.

People at SA are a little too pretentious if you ask me. All this 'goons' stuff... they even carry that crap into other places too (like MMOs).

why don't you branch out into this forum called the real world. You can totally talk to people, make friends, learn things (they have this crazy place called a library where you can read all sorts of materials!), work out, get into hobbies, and it's FULLY INTERACTIVE!!! Seriously, check into it it's awesome.

I tried that once... but my connection was too slow.

Sounds like user error, maybe upgrade your processing unit?

Too much trouble... and with all the talk of viruses that are out there, i think i'll just stay in here where it's safe.
