Gents, what other forums do you find outstanding on-the-wire out here?

[AndyFair 0]

I haven't yet found another forum out there that provides the level of support we do here, with the level of expertise, and the general lack of flaming and trolls (apart from the Halo vs Half Life thread a couple of weeks ago)

 

I think we should all be proud of what we've done here! And none of it would be possible without Phillipe!

I think I have that site bookmarked, however thanks for reminding me about it

 

As for the broad spectrum of threads, how about this one:

 

How to boo Ashley Simpson off the center field stage live on national television

http://forums.gentoo.org for Gentoo Linux users, and www.linuxcompatible.org are the ones I hit for my Linux stuff. I also go to www.vmware.com/community for VMware issues. Those are about it for my other options.

Never got into the MajorGeeks site that opened after 3Dfiles/tweakfiles went down. The forum doesn't really turn me on.

 

Used to traffic the techpc.co.uk forums since I knew some of the guys that used to be at 3dfiles, but I haven't upgraded my PC in awhile which is what that site is mostly about.

I hang out at the Sharky Extreme forums, lots of people and easy to get help on a specific topic because of how the forums are layed out, there is even a highly technical PC forum here too. www.sharkyforums.com

 

AnandTech is a pretty good source of computer/IT material, and the forums have really intelligent people.

 

HardOCP, and FiringSquad are good too. Even though these sites focus on other aspects like gaming and benchmarks, they are still a good starting point for advice.

 

My list of bookmarks for computer technology sites is pretty big, there are more but those are the more popular ones out there too.

 

I also hang out at NVNews.net and Rage3D.com when I have other questions to ask about, like graphics. They also are a good source for asking about computer upgrades, because alot of computer upgrades focus on getting better graphics, and since these sites are all graphic card maniacs, its a good combination.

man... I'm kind of embarrased to say I actually read most (not all, couldn't bring myself to it) of that. Flashback to Junior High School that was.

oh yea, to keep on topic I visit a couple others not mentioned so far...

 

Activewin.com good for news, lots of linux versus microsoft flamefests in the foums though.

 

msfn.org more news stuff, not much activity in the forums

 

good ol' ntcompatible.com is by far the best though if I want some good, usable help from others.

I don't come by here as much as I used to like a few years ago, but I regularly hit up: [H]ardOCP, 2CPU, PC Perspective, and Zone365 (then again, you would hit up a website you're on staff with ).
