What non-freespace related communities you often like to visit?

Only internet sites I go to are Hard Light, Game Warden, Facebook, Hotmail, Gmail, and Wikipedia, in that order.

Post by: CP5670 on March 20, 2007, 06:41:34 am: I basically only go here and the Anandtech forums. I used to also frequent Lugnet at one point, but got tired of their stone age forum software.

By the way, what happened to your admin status?
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Fury on March 20, 2007, 07:05:48 am: Got tired of it so I quit.

Keep those community names you visit frequently coming, surely this isn't the only place the majority of you visit.
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Mefustae on March 20, 2007, 07:20:06 am: Well, principally there's GateWorld (http://forum.gateworld.net/), after which there's Relic Forums (http://forums.relicnews.com/index.php?), Derelict Studios Forums (http://www.derelictstudios.net/forums/index.php) and Infinity Forums (http://www.fl-tw.com/InfinityForums/) among others. Not counting any of the clan forums i'm a part of, that's my entire online forum repertoire.
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Dysko on March 20, 2007, 07:25:31 am: HLP and All Aviation (a small aircraft forum opened some weeks ago) are the only forums I frequently visit. I sometimes post something on GW and SG (FS related), and on x-plane.org and yspilots.com (respectively, the major X-Plane related and the major YsFlight related forums).
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: DarkShadow- on March 20, 2007, 07:31:16 am: Well, I used to be a moderator on wc3sear.ch, but the site had to be closed because of financial issues.
Atm, when I'm not searching the HLP-forums, I'm answering questions in the Spellforce-forum (and I'm idling in the Spellforce IRC-channel all the time).
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Bob-san on March 20, 2007, 07:39:16 am: NewEgg, Toms Hardware, TG Daily, Anandtech, Facebook, Gmail, my own TSP (and Steadfast) (and Return of the Phoenix) (and Inferno R1 voice-acting) forum, wikipedia, Google, and HLP.
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: TrashMan on March 20, 2007, 08:13:09 am: Me? Basicly HLP, Hades-Combine, Bioware-Forums regulary.

I also drop by occasionaly around other modding fourms (MTW2, JA2, UFO:AS, etc, etc..)

Also some internet comics
Order of the Stick, The noob, Ctrl-Alt-Del, PVP, etc...
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: NGTM-1R on March 20, 2007, 01:14:08 pm: What was formely nr.org (now known as starpost) is the only other forum I hit regularly. Sectorgame and Gamewarden when the mood strikes, which is often but can go for days not doing so.

Stopping by the Wings of Redemption (my EVE corp) forums more regularly now, but still not too often.
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Mobius on March 20, 2007, 01:27:23 pm: FS, Ace Combat and Games Workshop sites. Nothing more.
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Dark Hunter on March 20, 2007, 01:47:20 pm: I visit Gamefaqs, RoosterTeeth, Order of the Stick, and SMBZ (a website devoted to a hilarious flash series that combines elements of DragonBall with Mario. It sounds stupid, I know, but it is seriously very well done.)

Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Roanoke on March 20, 2007, 04:40:20 pm: Some car forums (such as my sig below). Can't say I really bother with even HLP nowadays though.

Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: brozozo on March 20, 2007, 05:46:27 pm: As far as forums go, HLP and Perfect Isolation (a Nine Inch Nails forum) are the only ones I keep up with on a daily basis. I lurk on a bunch of other forums (Deadsy, CIC [sometimes], Relic, and a few GameSpy ones). I'm a member of a few social networking sites too.

Sectorgame
GameWarden
HLP
FaceBook
FurAffinity

The rest of my online time is spent playing and finding information for my character on Anarchy Online.
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Polpolion on March 22, 2007, 05:39:30 pm: Only Freespace sites :drevil:

I used to be on the Lancers Reactor, but I kept forgetting my password and making new accounts. I don't go there anymore.

Post by: Unknown Target on March 22, 2007, 09:10:51 pm: Here, Game Warden, ModDB and Sci Fi Meshes on occasion.
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Mr. Vega on March 22, 2007, 10:00:03 pm: Sectorgame would be nice if it was more active.
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Flipside on March 22, 2007, 10:01:25 pm: It is pretty quiet over there at the moment :(

I suppose the only way it's going to get more active though is if more people go there and post ;)
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Desert Tyrant on March 23, 2007, 12:18:45 am: I go to the CIC <_< Get the hell aways
Title: Re: Other communities
Post by: Turey on March 23, 2007, 12:22:11 am: I spend most of my time either here or at GW.

I read Slashdot at least once a week.

I'll occasionally drop in on the Schthack Forums (http://s7.invisionfree.com/PSO_SERVER_HOME/index.php?act=idx) to keep an eye on how they're doing.

And then a bunch of online comics (OotS, Ctrl-Alt-Del, 8-bit, PA, applegeeks, etc.)

That's the stupidest thing Ive read yet. There was a move and a split. The move was because the site's focus isn't masturbating to politics.
The split, Im not sure of, but none of that involved any change in behavior on any part of the user other than an extra bit of scrolling.
