Not that I'm a right wing gun nut or anything. ;)

I just noticed after the crash at cpf that ive been a member there since 2007 not a frequent visitor though. I also visit laserpointerforums.com every once in a while. the blu ray laser diode DIY is getting my interest going. good powerful laser for under $50. so similar to modding flashlights.

my wife likes to visit godlikeproductions.com zombies,ufo,conspiracy theories and the end of the world all rolled into one.

I am a longtime member of Coffeegeek but I don’t participate much anymore other than reading. I am also a member of the National Barbecue News forum but don’t post anymore and rarely read. Some years back they got a new forum moderator that annoys the hell out of me. Makes it worse that because she’s an old lady everybody tells her how wonderful she is and makes it worse. A few other BBQ forums that I read only.

BLF
M715Zone
Jeepforum (haven't been there since I sold my non-m715 jeep)
USMB
Badcaps (haven't been there in ages)
Garageretreat (haven't been there in ages)
I used to post on a giant-scale r/c forum, but can't remember the name now.

I use IRC for a lot of things many people use forums for... dalnet, freenode, furnet,... I think so far I've sent two people on IRC here. :)

--Bushytails

BLF...of course.

Polaris Ranger Club....Self explanatory

Whirlpool.....all things tech geek

Ships Nostalgia....where ex sailors hang out

Nissan Pathfinder (Aus)....

And a couple of tractor forums

Thanks so much for your input here .

@ Bushytails : What is IRC ?

IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a message board/chat system from the very beginnings of the Internet. It was how computer people, geeks, and collages communicated on the web.....way before the days of Windows and Internet Explorer and HTML webpage language. It is still used today as a form of Internet communication and compared to something like Facebook....it would be considered rather "cave man" but still very useful......it is Genesis.

E1320 > great forum .. http://www.advrider.com/forums/ and thumpertalk..<..one of the worst

Jamesearljones >I feel your pain ... Godlikeproduction is the ultimate definition of insanity .To become a member I think you need to do about 10 hits of LSD , drink 3 gallons of Jim Beam,drive a 65' buick riviera into a tree at 60mph and have been abducted by aliens.....twice

Advrider has some of the best stories on the net it is my dream to do a RTW ride some day. Thumpertalk has some good tech info like the Dave mod for my XR but it is old and stale.

I just sold my XR650 but I still visit the thumper section on adv, force of habit I guess. I had to buy a Fox twin clicker for my Bandit 12 to similate the loss of the super squishy suspension I had on the Honda.

I mostly hang out here and couple of Finnish shooting/gun related forums. And I have registrated myself to many different forums when having a questions from a certain field of interest (cars, RC stuff etc), but left them since.

But from international forums, I'd say

BLF

CPF (occasionally, and nowadays almost only the CPF-MP)

http://ipsc.invisionzone.com/

http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/

www.hardocp.com (computer related)

xbmc.org (HTPC related)

A few training, fitness, and food related forums but due to language barrier it is uselless to post them here. A good read if you care what you eat and like to have greater physical strength, endurance and improve your general health, body and mind. Used to be pretty passive and sedentary but i quickly changed lifestyle for the better. The weight of the world lessened by half at least.

Oh, a fellow shaving geek. I used to hang around there some time ago, but lost interest when I felt the subjects became repetitive (sharpest blade (Feather)... best historic blade (Spoiler)... best soap (well, no default. Irisch Moos for me)... why, oh why won't Gillette bring back the DE... ad infinitum) .

I stumbled upon that badgerandblade forum once and was amazed. A forum for shaving. That’s what’s so cool about forums, something for everyone.

LOL I hear about GLP everyday. need to go build some lead shielded helmets for the kids now.

Yeah , I'm a member at Badgerandblade also .

When I showed them this picture , They correctly identified all of the razors within 2 hours . A little more research on my own and I knew the year and which quarter of the year each razor was manufactured .

This collection repesents the lifetime collection of one man . These razors were daily shavers . The oldest is from '38 and the newest is from '76 . They were given to me to display in my barbershop by the man's grandson .

HA, your barbershop. Jacktheclipper. Beautiful.

I remember my first trip to D.C.We paused in front of a small old diner and I was impressed with the gentleman wearing a sheet and a tinfoil hat ...yet much more interested in what he was repeating to me as i gazed into the window behind him he said"Aunt jemima's in the kitchen whipping up a big old batch of buttermilk buscuits ...and they held me down and hit me with the rusty needle ". His request for a few bucks didn't fall upon deaf ears .I figured if he endured the rusty needle , than maybe he needed a hot meal more than I needed a late night snack .

My most visited form is the Turbobricks.com forum. I have been there for a LONG time.

Followed by BLF and CPF. I check reddit.com frequently but other than that, that is about all I do on the internet.
