PC is my home and I check in on it more than any other place on the internet.
Other than that... Forums wise, I've registered for several other sites... but as of late I only visit two other forums daily aside from PC: Serenes Forest and SmashBoards.

There are three others that come to my mind:
- Smogon for all my need of competitive resources
- Smashlabs which is a small German Smash community (though I mostly just lurk there)
- RPG-Atelier, another German site that focuses on RPG-Maker games but has that slight problem of the community being mostly split between people who want to create good games and take critique seriously, people who think they make good games and who become crybabies when someone gives critique they don't like and people who just want to throw out a game not caring about critique at all. Though, I left that community about a year ago, because of how toxic it became, especially after most of the people I hung out with left.

I'm looking forward to Sonemic and Glitchwave. 8)

I used to be on a lot of forum when I was younger. Mostly RPG's or for Japanese Music or for "graphic desing classes" for programs like Photofiltre and Corel Paint Shop Pro.

I took a looooong Forum break.

The I went on a Betta (the fishes) forum where we could talk/help each other with our fishtank.

Then I came here! I tried some other forum but they were not active as this one.

Long life to PC!!

I don't really do forums. PC is... A hub. A place for me to meet like minded people that I can't/won't/don't meet offline, and I get to practice my English and writing skills and stuff. It works well.

I feel like because of PC, I can't really do other forums tbh. I love this place so much and spend nearly all of my free time posting or doing other things. I've tried to join other communities but none of them really appeal to me 8(

That said, I do frequent Smogon but it is mostly to lurk haha.

Yeah, haha, for internet business like dealing with fandom interests and stuff, I can talk Homestuck and Doctor Who and various other fandoms here to a degree that suits me; not sure I'd have enough to say to make joining another board specifically for fandoms seem worthwhile. To think that pokémon accomplished what it was originally meant to do - bringing people together. And also keeping them together (':

noa January 26th, 2016 2:27 PM

No, not really.
I'm registered on Lake Valor and like it there but I'm not as active as I'd like to be. Tried Bulbagarden before- wasn't for me. I'm too attached to PC to actively use another forum, I think.

Yes! PC has everything one needs tbh 8) I know that other forums have tons of sections too but it just seems like there is nothing that PC doesn't have. maybe a cooking forum?

whoa. me too. do you have an account there?

acatfrommars January 26th, 2016 4:53 PM

Hmm, how does one become said celebrity?

This is the only site that I'm semi-active on. When I find a site that I like it's normally the only forum I get on besides like Facebook & Instagram. I had been on a few Nintendo sites beforehand as a writer and once as an Events/Social Media coordinator but most of them have died down unfortunately. Antemortem/Dave/Sokpuppet told me about this one when he was a mod on a site we both used to get on so I decided to register on here and have been happy since.

Honestly though, I like posting on here the most out of any site because it's just so much more of a relaxed environment than some of the other sites I've been on. I honestly think that's how it should be and like the way staff does it here.

Zamrock January 28th, 2016 1:26 AM

I visit serebii, smogon and serenesforest since I really playing Fire Emblem Awakening

Salzorrah January 28th, 2016 1:41 AM

I don't do forums. They seem unattached and is really not my cup of tea.

Early January 28th, 2016 5:35 AM

My forum "home" used to be a Sonic Adventure-themed website called Chao Island. The community fell apart big time in terms of quality, though, and boards have been [mostly] dead for a good while now; the only users who come by to check up on it these days are the veterans who've been there for years, so mostly everyone knows each other. The place had a ton of downsides, but the RP section in particular was how I met most of my friends. The site's main admin means well, but keeps making unwanted changes to the forum interface that don't mesh well with the older members. I also still visit SonicBlast and Sonic Retro once in a while, but =SB= is most definitely dead now.

I had a brief stay with The Kirby Club forums, but they recently shut down since the admins couldn't afford to keep paying for the site; the whole TKC community has moved over to MetaNaito.net instead. I've signed up with tons of Pokemon forums way back when, but haven't stayed active on many of them; Psypokes, PokeBoard, Serebii, GPX+, and possibly some others. I joined PC while I was still with Chao Island, but didn't stay for long. I joined Lake Valor after CI kicked the bucket, but I don't really feel at home there. So for now, PC has become my main board without any others to drop by in the meantime.

Limey-chan January 30th, 2016 4:25 AM

These days, not many others.

I half-frequent a football forum, but it's mostly just to catch up on stuff that's been happening whilst i've been at work; I very rarely post.

I used to moderate a now-defunct football forum, that was fun back in the day. I've signed up to countless others, ranging from gaming to music, but I don't think i've ever stuck around for as long as I have here.

Sydian January 30th, 2016 2:36 PM

Not anymore. I just get on Twitter or Tumblr when PC is down.

Melody January 30th, 2016 3:08 PM

I visit PC and none other. I don't count incidental usages in my statistics though, or brief spurts of non-dedicated activity.

Now; if reddit counts; then that could be something. But I don't think it does.

Incidentally I have visited Serebii, Smogon, Bulbagarden, EGC and CL for brief periods in the past. But these visits have never superseded my PC activity or dedication. None of them were acceptable places for me. It never felt quite like home. So I never stayed.

All in all PC is my home. It will always be. <3

Hexoc January 30th, 2016 3:13 PM

I frequent a Yu-gi-oh forum called Duel Academy.

I've been a member there far longer than here.

I've been visiting it less often, but that's due to a change in the YGO meta causing me to dislike the game rather than it being dead or toxic

Xherdan January 30th, 2016 3:49 PM

Well i go to Neo MeleeUniverse Discussions. The original one died June 2015, and my good friend reopened it four days ago.

Controversial? January 30th, 2016 7:40 PM

I used to be on EGC fairly frequently, as well as Slateport. Since they closed, though, I've kind of stopped going on forums as much :/ I miss it.

Sothis January 30th, 2016 8:18 PM

I go on one called Lake Valor and one called GFX Resource, and that's it. I don't really spend much time on those as here though.

Synerjee February 1st, 2016 3:56 AM

At the moment, it's just PC and Lake Valor. I used to visit EGC/Slateport like some others did, but yeah, they've closed.
