    Re: What other forums do you browse?

    I rarely visit forums these days. I missed the forums of old where you didn't have to trawl through loads of nonsense before finding useful information. Nowadays, the mainstream have taken over and they can sometimes be hoodwinked by people using information from weird third party websites and presenting them as facts. Also, I've witnessed moderators and admins surgically removing posters who don't comply with their own world view thus leaving a rather sterile forum.

    Well, I run a couple of other forums, but they're closed membership, company support fora, so not relevant here. I did co-run a digital photography forum for a while, but haven't for several years now and someone told me it'd disappeared now.

    Other than that, I belong to a couple of model aircraft forums, and pop in to a couple of others like AVForums and TPR, from time to time, but rarely post these days other than here, the model heli/drone forums and the private ones.

    watchuseek is the only other forum i spend any time on, due to my rather odd obsession with mechanical watches.

    Re: What other forums do you browse?

    hardocp but lately, the same news items seem to be appearing on most tech websites and with northstandchat.co.uk have both been ironported at my workplace recently, so am missing out on contemporaneous postings - and not best on mobile.

    Re: What other forums do you browse?

    Hexus is the only forum I browse really. If I get particularly into a game like I was with Warframe for a while then I start reading their forums too and taking part there, but for the most part I just lurk around Hexus, and only post when I feel like I have something worthwhile to contribute.

    I guess strictly speaking r/gamedeals, being part of reddit, is a forum too, but really I just use it as a list and don't interact with anyone on it.
