Hi folks, I was just wondering what other discussion forums you all like to visit or would recommend? It seems as though forum communities are becoming few and far between as social media (and blogs?) seem to have taken over.
I'm looking for an active discussion forum about: sustainable technologies/design and environmental issues, as well as offgrid and low-impact living.
Currently I use Reddit, 420chan and Shroomery for the purpose of entertainment and drug researching.
Shroomery is absoultely GREAT and have been directed here for years. But I know I would really benefit using some other forums where I could seriously ask, discuss and learn about particular topics i'm interested in within specialised forums that are actually active. Google is not being a particularly helpful friend with this so if it OK then perhaps we could share some tips? Yout turn to share or enquire if you wish!

At first skim, I was kind of ready to assume my asshole role, you have 8 posts and ask for another forum that's pretty odd.
I decided to actually read the post in it's entirety though.
I dunno what to tell you. It is definitely getting harder and harder to find forums with an active user base in any given subject. 5 years ago or so, anytime I had a question, I could Google a forum, sign up, and get answers almost instantly. These days, even on the "most popular" forums, it can take 24+ hours to get an answer. Shroomery is one of those oases in the desert.
It's gotten to the point where I don't even go find another forum first. Regardless of what I need to ask, I ask here. I may make a thread on some other forum at the same time, but it usually proves unnecessary. This place is so diverse and gets so much attention, that I usually get my answer here before anyone responds to the thread on another forum.
Absolutely FUCK reddit. I'm still pissed about what happened there. I had a question, I asked int he correct section, I followed their stupid template, I UTSFE and the question had never came up, I even gave them the TDC code even though it was entirely irrelevant to the question. What happens? They delete it. I did everything 100% by the book they wanted it in. Fuck that place.
Yes I'm butthurt. I'm not likely to get over it anytime soon, either.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline
