Just curious. I got 2 warning points here and I'm rattled! Can I trade in likes to eliminate warning points? That would be cool.

I frequent the Google Pixel 2 forums on Android Central and that's it. I just joined the LInus Tech Tip forums but they are not as cool as here so far (at least OT)

So what do y'all do when you are cheating on ATOT?

Forums for specific interest or games I play. I don't do the forum which shall not be named, the R one not the N one.

I read https://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php
and deskthority/geekhack but do not participate.
I write on the oocz angband forum and on the blacklight retribution reddit and forums (or rather, i did until this year when the game became shit), but AT is the one i contribute to most. I enlighten your small, clouded minds mostly on audio/video and the correct way to calculate percentages when drawing a ball out of a box.

I was deep in sword forums until a few years back but never really wrote.

I also got permabanned from [H]ardforum for praising Crysis 2.

I tried to be a good person and answer some questions, a few years back, on the Tomshardware "forums-questions-thingie" but the level of 15yo marketing-bullshit-spewing ignorance defeated me.

I primarily frequent firearms, cfb, and vehicle forums. That's where all of my money goes (other than travel and scuba, but I don't do forums for those).

It's not a forum like this one, but I browse Quora when ATOT is boring.

I used to participate at the Lycaeum forums in my, ahem, substance consuming days, but haven't in a long time. For a short time a while back I participated at the XDA Developers forums but no longer.

This is the only one I would say I browse on everything else is generally gaming related.

I had been away from forums, i used to have an old anandtech account from years ago, but lost it after changing emails, i wish I still knew the handle hahaha.

Otherwise, I came back to forums a couple years ago starting with Linustechtips but I was not able to stick around there too much, lots of trolling and seems the age group might just be low.

The thing is I always tend to learn new things that I would otherwise be a stranger to if not for once and awhile coming onto a good old forum. I still have my gearslutz account and still browse that from time to time when I need to find some info about audio gear, and a couple of mac forums for when I run into apple troubles.

Reddit, sometimes Hardforum and Eevblog, and I have like 30+ in my favourites that I check every now and then but TBH I kinda slowed down on most forums. I h ve two of my own that I run too but they are dead. I have two others that I had to shut down as they were too old and kept getting hacked and they were dead anyway. I need to move my butt and finish my project of combining all 4 into one forum, then I will take better care of it as it will be only one to worry about. I want to learn about Linux containers so I can run it within one so it will be well, contained, from the rest of the server. It's hard to update after the fact due to all the modifications I make so if it gets hacked I need to figure out how they got in, and fix it manually.

I'm mainly here by a large margin now. Years back I was super into Rotten Tomatoes Forums when they were super happening and cool. The people who administered it fucked it up something awful. It became next to impossible to find threads anymore. I had saved some of the stuff to my own data, but only a tiny amount. It's such a shame they went under. There's something going on there now but I don't check it out, it's probably shit. Problem seems to be that the movie industry wants to promote their new films and that's the political dagger that's undone the forums... which were FREE, of course! Just my take/guess here.

I was deep into a few newsgroups back in the day when they were great and happening, probably my favorite being alt.home.repair, but they got super fucked up by spam, and that was pretty much that. I still have posts from those days saved in my email/newsgroup client (I guess a lot of that info is still good today). We're talking 2000-2009 or so, it got messed up later.

There are forums I participate in in a minor way. There's one thread I try to keep up with on semi-legacy equipment I use, MyHD HDTV cards and issues at AVS Forums. They are super deep in audio/video there.

I participate some at forum.thinkpads.com because I have a few Thinkpad laptops.

I go to GolfWRX occasionally 'cause I swing the clubs, etc.

I go to Tek-Tips forums for info on my database program, world class experts are super helpful and friendly there.

There's a DIY forum I go to once in a while, homesteadingtoday.com. Strong place.

I might hit Windows Central 'cause I have a Windows Phone.

I'm registered at a ton of other places but those are some of the ones I've been to in recent times. I have a number of products that have forums, so when I have issues I hit them sometimes.

I’m a member of the Rolex forum and Ducati.ms and I post on both of those sites but that’s pretty much it. Haven’t been posting much here lately.

I actually donated money to the Rolex forum so I’m a pledge member there.

I was a member of the NY Football Giants forums until they disabled them this past month - the community was strong enough, but I think they wanted to funnel everyone to social media where they could monetize them more. Total B.S.
