Dewds,

I'm looking for another off topic 'like' forum like this one. This place is great, but activity in this particular part of FOFC has dropped alot. I'm looking for another forum that has the same range of topics, but a lot more activity with not a lot of toxicity.

Any suggestions?

If you're not already there, Reddit is like 100,000+ little message boards in one place. You can tailor your experience to whatever you want. I participate in sub-reddits on the law, border collies, Boise, pro wrestling, MMA, history, travel, and about 30 more fringe ones. It can be very reminiscent of the early-FOFC experience.

SOME of the sub-reddits can definitely be toxic, and the modding varies, but you're a little more anonymous, so you don't have the long-standing issues between posters and subtle hostility/trolling you get here. And it's easy enough to just downvote posts and ignore them.

Thanks, dewds.

I will check them out. I don't know I didn't think of leveraging Reddit more.

There are a lot of really great small reddit communities. Creating an account and removing a lot of the useless (or bloated) default subreddits and finding the smaller things relevant to you can make reddit a completely different experience.

For the large/default subs, AskHistorians and AskScience are wonderful if you're interested in either of those things, because the comment sections are *heavily* moderated and every answer must be properly sourced. Experts in various fields/studies are verified and given flair indicating their field of expertise.

I stay subscribed to r/pics and r/aww and stuff like that, just because i like enough of the pictures to scroll through them on occasion, but dear god the comments are shit.

I will probably drop off the internets completely when FOFC goes away. This is my known 40-something crowd.
