I frequent a couple of fansites with message boards for my favourite books and tv series'...also, the distance-ed course I'm taking has a message board that I have to frequent and post at in order to get class participation marks. Worthy is definitely the one I keep tabs on the most, though.

I've been involved with several "secular" sites over the last couple of years related to guitar effects, but have stopped visting them. I still frequent a Christian musician site that has a small group that has been together for years. It's not as active as big boards like this, but the discussion is all "in the family", if you know what I mean. It's a nice refuge from the world & the constant debate with skeptics that goes on at most Christian sites.

I'm involved with a local community site that is cool because it's (almost) all people who live in my area, so it's got a very different feel than most internet boards. People tend to know each other IRL, which changes the dynamic considerably. If fact, we just got back from the site owner's house - they picked up some honey for us in return for us picking up some fresh corn for them last week. There a few Christians on the board, but I'm one of only 2 really "conservative" Christians, so I get a lot of abuse there. I get burned out debating the skeptics over & over....

I visit carm.org from time to time when I'm in the mood for intense discussion, but lately I've been looking for something "lighter" that's more Christian fellowship than argument. Christianforums.com was overwhelming to me - just WAY too much going on! I gave up after a few minutes. Too much like a mega church for me.

There's more here than I can keep up with, but I enjoy popping in a couple of times a days & participating a little here & there.

And remember, don't feed the trolls!

This is my first time on worthy

Welcome!

Well, worthy boards is actually my "other site". I come here occasionally and post once in a while when i see something that I think needs a further explanation The main forum that I post on is (edited by moderator) - link removed) unexplained-mysteries.com (link), which I'd highly suggest if you are interested in anything related to unexplained events (including spirituality and religion, which is the section I generally enjoy the most, though I go all over the boards). It's a non-Christian board but you can speak freely about almost any matter, as long as it's legal and done in a respectful manner.

Oh, and for KeilanS,

Other boards are a lot harder to get the hang of. They expect you to already understand the intricacies of things like internet fads and chatspeak.

I've never had that problem on unexplained-mysteries. The forum Terms and Conditions specify that you cannot use chatspeak....... though we don't usually police a simple "lol" or some such, it's only when an entire post is filled with "I c u h8 me den u luv me, roflmaobbq" *example only - this sentence was made up*

Usually while I'm at worthy I have the other social board I frequent open in another window. And well, worthy boards certainly is a tame place compared to the rest of the internet

Does anyone else go to message boards besides worthy? If so, which ones?

i go to one other forum, but i hesitate to mention it, for fear someone will pick it apart!

I won't pick it apart, tell me!! Tell me!

I can't stand it when someone says "I know something but I can't tell you".

I go to two other boards that cater specifically for political discussion, because this is my "thing". But one of them gets too "heated" so I stay away from it for long periods until it "cools down". It ends up quite good because the moderation is pretty strict and they have a separate board for "conspiracy theories" where the rule is "no swearing" and "no personally attacking someone". And people actually adhere to those rules on "conspiracy ..." , but on their main board the moderation rules are supposed to be the same but these are practically never enforced and I get sick of all the swearing and I'm thinking of deleting it for good.

I can't stand "one purpose" discussion boards or boards for discussion about "celebrities", soap operas "entertainment" - they are incredibly boring - in my opinion anyway.

This is the only Christian board that I go to though, and I think it is so wonderful now that I've got to know some of the people on it and can fellowship.

I went to a couple of others where I got the address from Worthy Boards, but one closed (pity that was a really good one) and I gave up trying to register on the other, it kept coming up with "somebody with that name has already registered" and I used to get so frustrated. So it looks like you lot will have to put up with me for a while yet.

(PS I just love the emoticons)

I go to a forum for a certain Webcomic that I follow. It's a whole lot quicker to check that forum than this one, for sure! (Usually only three or less active threads per day over there.)

Interestingly, that forum and this one were getting identical spam posts for a while. Both forums have now come up with ways to deal with the spammers, for which I am profoundly glad.
