What Other Discussion Boards Do You Visit?
TV ClubHouse: Archives: What Other Discussion Boards Do You Visit?
Whoami | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 12:21 am     OK, we all know that TVCH is hands down the best board on the Web! But, have you ever been to another board, and read a post by someone that sounded like someone here? So, I thought it would be fun to list what other boards you visit. Who knows if we've been running into each other somewhere else! Along the way, we might learn a thing or two about each other's interests. My other boards are: The Sound Machine Drum Corps Discussion Group. It was the one and only board I went to several times a day. Since Drum Corps is my passion, it was a great board. But, in the last year or so, I have moved TVCH to the top of my "Discussion Boards" folder in my IE Favorites. I still go there daily (and more often at the height of the drum corps season). I'v even been a moderator there for about the last year. Skating Forums is a replacement figure skating site for me, once "Figure Skating World" blocked access to all members overnight (no warning) and "offered" everyone to become members for "just" $68.00 a year. They sent me numerous e-mails warning me how much longer they would "hold" my username for me, if I'd just send in the money. I told them, "you can have my username. I'm using it for free at another site now!" I also sometimes visit Trouble Shooter.com, and Drum Corps Planet from time to time. But do more lurking than posting. So really, my three main boards are TVCH, Sound Machine, and Skating Forums (in that order). I spend most of my time here though! |
Willsfan | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 12:37 am     I used to lurk over at Planetsocks a lot but never posted, I just read. Now I visit there only a few times a week instead of a few times a day.

Mygetaway | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 01:28 am     WhoAmI.. I swear sometimes I think I'm sending pyschic messages out to fellow posters.. I almost posted something similar to this on the fact thread earlier today.. And then last night I wanted to post the name Herb Albert to the names game but he didn't come up on imdb.com when I searched to make sure I wasn't making him up. Then I see Marysfan's post about Herb Alpert and went... whoa.... Anyways.. to answer the question.. Before this board, I was a Rosie Board fan. It was from someone there (I think Duster) that I found this board. I spent the last several years over there at the WB/AOL site. Once in a while I look at Caroline Rheas site for some of my old friends from Rosie's place, but I never post there. Before that, about 5 years ago, I spent a major amount of time at the NF inc support group board. I don't go anywhere else because I feel like I have a hard enough time keeping up here.. Sometimes I check out other sites that people post here, but I never post to them either. |
Conejo | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 06:46 am     More psychic messages transmitting! I also was just thinking yesterday if anyone here visits other boards. This is the only board that I am familiar with - but willing to check out any others that might be sugessted. I think the people here are great! |
Whoami | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 11:26 am     You know, I just reread my post about the Sound Machine board. I said, "it was a great board." It still is a great board. I've made friends there that are very sweet too! In fact, I've invited two of them to come here. I hope they do sometimes. I didn't mean to come across as though I don't really like Sound Machine any more, cause I still do! It is one of my top boards. s a whole though, TVCH has the most incredible people aboard, and that is what makes TVCH speicial, and number one! btw, get out of my head you guys! It's dangerous in there. Besides, my dogs do that to me enough as it is!  |
Marysafan | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 11:34 am     Mygetaway...a few years ago, I used to frequent the Rosie Warner brothers board too! I frequent a private NASCAR message board...where I have blantantly ripped off the "some facts about you" thread to help keep them entertained durng the off season. and a hockey site called letsgowings.com |
Essence | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 12:56 pm     I spend so much time on this board (especially the games area) that I don't have much time to frequent any others. I really like it here. |
Yankee_In_Ca | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 01:11 pm     Whoami -- you mentioned drum corps before and I wanted to ask you about it, but forgot. In what aspect are you involved with corps? I used to be very active in high school and university marching band (on the band front side) and always had a dream to be in drum corps, but never did! As far as other boards I visit, I visit TV Without Pity's ER board, and the Surprise By Design board at Discovery.com. |
Sia | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 02:04 pm     There will probably be a collective "Awwwwww...." when all of you read this, but here goes: I don't visit any other message board. The TVCH community meets all my needs for internet friendship, information, discussion, emotional support, and troubleshooting.
I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!!" |
Meggieprice | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 03:13 pm     Not that anywhere else is the same, but... Occasionally I go to Dr. Phil's board and I daily and for long periods spend my time on 5 or 6 different boards for the wedding photography community, especially digital photographers like ourselves, and photojournalists. I learn, support, investigate, etc. etc. For example, many are waiting with bated breath for their Canon EOS1DS (11 megapixels!) to arrive as are we so we can all check in. That said- this is HOME.  |
Sunshinemiss | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 03:17 pm     This, and Ebay. Ad since my Webtv blew up month before last, not much of either one. Santa better bring me a laptop this year! I love this place and have missed being here. |
Kady | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 03:54 pm     I poke my head in at Suvivor Sucks, Television Without Pity, and the Trading Spaces message board. I am not a member of any of those places so I don't do any posting there. |
Whoami | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 04:05 pm     Yankee, I went looking for your Member's Folder, so I could post an answer to your question about my involvement in corps. But, to my surprise, I found you didn't have one! Well Yankee, you now have a folder! Follow me here Yankee's Folder and I'll tell ya all about it! And make sure the rest of you follow, and put up decorations too! |
Tess | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 04:25 pm     This is the only board I look at except for playing the Amaziiing Race and Surviiivor games where every they are. I have the pages bookmarked but couldn't type in the url if I had to. |
Wargod | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 04:29 pm     There are other boards out there???? Hehe, ok, seriously this is the only board I post to,and mostly the only one I read. I used to visit and occassionally post at a message board for Melanie Rawn (fantasy/sci fi writer) until the author herself left a message that completely turned me off the whole board. These days I pretty much stick here, though I do surf around. |
Whoami | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 04:35 pm     BTW, AWWWWWWW, on Sia's post! You are absolutly right. This board is the best board around. It's just that there aren't a whole lot of passionate drum corps people here, so I need Sound Machine. Same goes for the figure skating board (although there were some good skating discussions going on during Olys). |
Wargod | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 04:51 pm     Dang Who.....if Dakota could spell you two could have a lively discussion on figure skating. She's loved it since she first saw it (this past Olympics.) We watched the one last week...The World vs. The U.S. and I couldn't pry her away from the tv! She was particullary impressed with Scott Hamilton...and I have to say it was kinda nice to see that with how long he's been around he can still make childrens eyes light up with excitement! |
Whit4you | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 04:52 pm     This is the only board I actively post on - but I lurk on quite a few boards - I am not sure if people not on AOL can view these boards but I'll post em anyhow.. Support A to Z This is a board that has support groups for just about everything Question of the Week Definately a great board to lurk on... THey ask a diff q each week like "If you had to give up one of your senses" which one and why... Well don't know if anyone but AOLers can even get on any of these boards - so I won't list the few others - but frugral living board is probably the one I've lurked on the longest. I've seen alot of other msg boards on the net I'd like to be a part of but I get frustrated with any other message format besides the AOL one - so I usually give up before I ever get 'hooked' as a lurker. |
Draheid | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 05:25 pm     Whit: both of those links attempt to log onto AOL in order to access them. So anyone without an AOL account won't be able to get there. |
Hippyt | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 06:26 pm     Well,this is definitely my 'home',but I do hang out at a couple of other places. One is an MSN group,Living with Anxiety and Depression. I have a couple of friends I chat with over there.I also have been playing the Survivor games at Realiiity.com for years. I post over there,but not much. Before I found this great place I was a member of an MSN chatroom for about 3 years. Dang MSN closed the room,because it was a small community.I still have some of those people on my IM,and chat with them fairly often. Mostly,I just hang here,this is by far a superior community compared to most! |
Sabbatia | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 06:31 pm     I used to hang out at alt.support.endometriosis and alt.support.cancer. Then, I stopped going to them and started going to this yahoo group called potstirrers. Now, this is my only real home. I go to the trading spaces message board now and then, but that's it. Who needs support groups when I have ya'll to hang around with? |
Juju2bigdog | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 06:37 pm     I also post at ElitesTV, wwwelitestv.com. Elites is a board much like this one that was formed by some former tvch people who left this board in April 2001. As far as I know, I am the only person on either board who posts on both boards. When I say "much like this board," I mean it is based on reality television but also has general interest topics. It does not have anywhere near the number of members that this board does. |
Jmm | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 06:52 pm     I've never even seen another board, I had heard so many bad things about boards that I just avoided them. Then Dra got me on here and I love it, but I don't think I would be comfortable in a non-moderated board. Even though in life I tend to say what I think I just flat don't like conflict. You are all the best and I'm very happy that you have accepted me as a member of this board. |
Bigfan | Thursday, December 05, 2002 - 07:49 pm     Oh, lets see, I have gone to yulelog.com for Hallmark ornaments. I have gone to chat.reapernet.com which is a christian chatroom. I must say that this is the only board that I check often because I like all the topics to choose from. |
Calamity | Friday, December 06, 2002 - 10:49 am     All That Chat! Discusses Broadway and regional theater. I found it following a Playbill Online link to a 'Christina's World' review in the fall of 1997. When Playbill changed their message board format early the next year, ATC became my main theater board. It's not as fun a place as it used to be though. This is the only other site I use the name Calamity, but I don't post much there anymore. I also occassionally read/post at BBC's UK messageboards . Most of the environmental & wildlife sites I visit either don't have message boards or if they do, they're pretty deserted. Used to go to one that chronicled animal and bird migration patterns across the US and another noted otter sightings but both sites are now defunct . I keep all my yahoogroups on "web only" and forget to check them for weeks, sometimes months at a time. I only subscribe to a few groups, most are for authors & artists. |
