How the Hell do you find a room these days?

So I'm losing the place I currently live in by the end of Feb because other roommates are bailing and the landlord wants to gut the place anyhoo. I don't care too much because I've been wanting to find someplace better for a while anyway.
I've been Craigslisting for about two weeks now with either no luck because my gf is moving with me as well, or I'm just getting no replies. Every time I've found a place to live before I was either in Asia where it is dirt-cheap and unregulated, or getting hooked up by a friend. Now I'm just trying to find any place to live before I don't have one.
You guys know any good resources for finding rooms in a shared apartment?

Craigslist always worked for me. Must be in a pretty small town.

Ah didn't read the part about a girlfriend. Generally people don't want to get involved with all that as there will be problems eventually. Generally they just want a single person. Why don't you just get another apartment

I've had success by listing myself on craigslist. I just write a little bit about myself and what I'm looking for, include a price range (go a little low) and then people called me.
If you have any special interests or perks to having you as a roomate I would include that as well.

Two links I have bookmarked.

Basically, it's a big Google map with lots of house and apartment sublet and rental listings from Craigslist and other sources marked on it. Realtime filters make it easy to narrow down the massive number of apartments to just the few you'd be interested in.

I did wind up upping my stuff that makes me seem more desirable a person to room with. Fingers crossed! 
I'll check those out too!
I'm not even in a small town. Small but major city funny enough. I got a bunch of texts sent back to me from robots, or ppl who say I seem cool but they don't want couples
