What kind of other forums do you use
So which other message boards/forums are your favorites?
It would be cool to hear...since I like having somewhere to post casually. |
This was it, and Reddit too but I rarely visit Reddit anymore.
Why is PokeCommunity shutting down? |

I don't like Reddit too much. They have a big mob mentality, especially when it comes to downvoting people. |
I have accounts on a couple of other forums, but the only one I really ever frequent besides this one is Smashboards.
|
Only ones I ever go to are this one and My Little Game Dev...which is pretty much super dead, unless you count like a few chatrooms for it or something. Said few chatrooms...two died and there's a third one which I haven't visited for a while now. I did check out a forum based on the Nasuverse (i.e. Fate/stay night, Tsukihime, Garden of Sinners/Kara no Kyoukai, all that good stuff) for a little bit, but I haven't register for it.
EDIT: Oh right! I also dabbled with the Nuzlocke Fourms. But that was a very, very, very, VERY LONG time ago. I remember doing a Nuzlocke there before...but then I stopped. Don't think I'll ever be able to update said Nuzlocke, since the data for it died alongside my old computer. |
I go on quite a few forums, most of them being like.. pokemon forums or general chat forums. one forum i go on is dedicated to dan and phil and i tend to visit that daily but. yeah. i mostly just visit general chat forums a lot or the other pokemon forums a lot. idk. im a member of a lot of forums. a /lot/. but i havent visited a lot of them in a very long time

Dragon Quest forums on woodus.com
|
BulbaGarden
Horror Night Nightmares |

Used to browse it sometimes, but never did make an account. |
I have an account on lots of other forums, mostly anime and gaming related. But I'm only active on OTK (a love live forum) and Bulbagarden, the latter of which I'm a mod on.
|
None, really. It's become hard to find interesting forums nowadays.

|
Reddit.
|
none.
|
reddit and 4chan

I've been on a tiny forum owned by a friend for about 4 years now, the name's changed three times (and it's been rebooted 3-4 times) but right now it's called The Artist Zone. It used to be Pokemon-specific mostly in its old days but now it's just general fandom and stories/art.
Otherwise I've been on GameFAQs if that counts, lurking on the Ultra-Sun board. It's full of trolls and overrun by alts heheh. It's horrible but addictive. I don't recommend checking it out if you're not already involved. It'll ruin your life. |

uhh I used to be active on Lake Valor but didn't have much time to split between two forums, so I've not been going there as much. Back in the golden days of forums I'd be active on sooo many though, most notably Ever Grande City, Petalburg Woods, and Bulbagarden among others lol. Pokémon forums were my thing. Not too into other types of forums tho, so you'd never really see me elsewhere. atm it's mostly just PC. |

So many people tried to recruit me to Lake Valor lol but I always thought it was way too big and it overwhelmed me haha. This place is big too but I'm already getting a good atmosphere with how nice people seem to be ^^ |
Quote:
& yeah forum issues seem unavoidable wherever you go. /= People's mindsets clash, but I think ultimately they all have their own views on how to improve the place they care about, so that's why things end up that way haha. oh and since people are bringing up Reddit....I browse the subreddit for where I live several times a day, especially when I'm at work with nothing to do. =p Don't involve myself much in the actual discussion (98% lurker ya) but it's very interesting to browse and see all the discussions I could relate to, since it's my current home. |
I used to go to Azurilland (Marriland) everyday, which was the main reason why I didn't have much time for PC. I still visit it sometimes, but mainly when someone is asking me for input.
However, I've decided to commit to PC now since the atmosphere here just makes me feel warm inside. The recent series of events have convinced me that there is great unity within a good portion of the community here, and I appreciate that. |
I'm on Lake Valor and I love that place to bits. Great site for Pokemon fans with a lot of cool features!

... I went and checked the Ultra Sun board, and I don't remember it being this bad. |
Quote:
Advice to anyone who's curious about the board- Don't get involved. Especially if you like gen 5 at all because they will endlessly flame you and call you an abortion without getting modded. |
I'm on a lot of different forums these days but my favorites, aside from this one, are ResetERA, and WDWMagic.
|
A wild disney nut appeared!
|
This is my only forum after a long break. Before I was on many, many, manu RPG forum.
|
Quote:
I didn't get a free pass or anything, because I was flamed and insulted a couple times. It's pretty much inventable if you post actively, but I made the choice not to bother replying. |
Tbh, I'm done with forums except for PC. My other main forum shut down, and aside from PC, I live on Twitter nowadays. Don't do forums much anymore.
Here it's magical... I can suddenly edit what I post again. Ah Twitter, what you got me used to.. |
Pokemon Crossroads and The Pokemon Plaza. That's it, I'm pretty much done with forums, save a few.
|
I go on one call Lake Valor, and that's it. Otherwise I'm on twitter and tumblr.
If you really want the full scope of my stupidity, you add on the last two. |
I used to be a member of quite a few anime/manga forums. Some other Pokemon ones as well.
PC is my only forum now, though. |
I had an account once in the Nuzlocke Forums - I'm not using it anymore. This is the only forum I use besides another one dedicated to mafia.
|
Just Reddit and Bodybuilding.
|
The only other forum I visit is the official RPG Maker forum, but only for support/ideas/inspiration and not really for socialising.
|
I kinda still remember forums such as Zomg Anime. Mangafox was interesting too in a way but sadly that forum's no longer with us as well. That said, I have accounts in deviantART and Bulbagarden and as you might expect, I use the same name in those places as well.
|
Eh, I was a forum junkie in the early ‘00s, but alas, it seems that forums-as-a-concept is mostly obsolete. A pity, too, it is a far more viable means to have in-depth discussions than nowadays’ social networks, bar MAYBE Orkut (but that has been gone for HOW LONG NOW?!? Gosh, I’m getting too old). I think that this trend is mostly due to the innate incompatibility between forums and mobile hardware, in the sense that there isn’t an app to give you updates and facilitate access... But then again, that shallow interaction allowed by nowadays’ social networks might be part of the problem, not the solution. TL;DR: I mostly don’t use forums anymore, though I was quite surprised I didn’t have an account here until now.
|
I'd be more surprised that you felt compelled to join a forum despite the trend pointing the other way, haha.
