Poll question: How many internet boards have you been a regular on?
Inquiring minds want to know. :)

1. A lot!
Edited on Mon Mar-28-05 08:54 PM by AlienGirl
First there was Quartz BBS. Then, do Usenet groups count? I was active on alt.alien.visitors and some other paranormal groups right around the time I acquired my screenname. After that, alt.parenting (I think that's the one). Then the Art Bell BBS when that existed--I was there around the same time John Titor was. Then for a while, I went to chatting and was a reg in the Unofficial Art Bell Chat until I got sick. At the same time I was involved in a ZADR RP on Yahoo Groups, and since I played Zim, I was there all the time. (Don't ask, it will disturb you!) I was on Smirking Chimp for a while but its interface bugged me and I'm weirdly picky. Now it's pretty much only here and MyToos.

(If you count mailing lists, the answer goes up substantially.)

3. There was one other before DU
but they got to leaning too far to the right so I left. There's two or three others I go to only occasionally.

4. I used to be a regular on SmirkingChimp.
I still drop by there once in a while, but it gets rarer and rarer.

5. I used to hang out at the Washington Dispatch
but they got too right-wing and, well, stupid for my taste. Also I was a regular at GameFAQs for years.

Best beersite on the planet. Endless hours of beer education, reviews, message boards, etc.

My BA username is Dubblebock. Look me up or send me a beermail sometime. Enjoy!

7. Only about four or five non political sites...
Edited on Mon Mar-28-05 09:08 PM by Longgrain
Mostly entertainment oriented. Namely TheStraightDope.com, Fark.com and X-entertainment.com.

In all actuality..DU is the first message board I truly got involved with...

Oh, and I forgot...I used to hang around Bartcop.com a lot too...

9. 4
a defunct, small "local" board inhabited by two or three right wing nut jobs a drug addled "liberal" and myself, a yahoo board connected with the struggle to save my local community radio station from a deadly infection of corporate type mental illness, this board, and Lonely Planet's Thorntree, though I haven't been over there in a while.

11. Other than DU,
I was on SmirkingChimp for some time as well as posting on Gamefaqs.com. I check out both of those sites every now and then.

12. Web-based forums? Seven or eight.
If you include USENET groups and listservs? Probably three or four dozen.
