Hello TL! I was wondering what online communities TL members are involved in other than TL.net. It can include hobby related communities like gaming, photography, cooking or just about anything. I'm just curious to what variety of hobbies TL members enjoy since I'm in desperate need of something to do now that I have much more free time because of summer!
So share some of the sites you're engaged in! This should be fun.

I check craigslist and kijiji everyday , and by virtue of being musical, have had some pretty strange/ productive / waste of time encounters.
Also, a useful time waster

digg, but i guess that isn't really a community, at least not for me i used to go liquidpoker but not anymore
long before tl.net i hung out with blizz fanbase types like cwal/open tech support there's also a buddhist forum i post at sometimes
|
forum.unity3d.com is like teamliquid for game designers
|
Reddit because Digg absolutely sucks now. I also spend a lot of time on college football forums.
|
I'm a member of a Buddhist forum as well. Just because Buddhism has some really interesting aspects that make you think.

Dono why you'd bother to hide the name now, or mention it at all for that matter. Site is dead. The people that made the community what it is have gone to greener pastures. Or grown up, one of the two.

I remember visiting that site a lot around 10th/11th grade, when a new student in my school showed me the website and how awesome it was for anime fans. It really sparked a much larger interest in anime than I ever had, but I never felt like I could make a good post on there, so I eventually stopped visiting, and now I have no idea what anime to watch. I think you've made me want to revisit that place!
I was a member of a small forum called moviecodec.com for awhile, but the interesting people and extremely lax nature of the site's lounge forum (yeah, I didn't go for codec help and information) eventually left, and now it's just a bunch of people who formed a small clique and are trying to block everyone out.
And I'm a somewhat regular commenter on Joystiq since about the unveiling of "Revolution," before it was called Wii. That year I had business computing in high school, and since it was super easy, I had a lot of free time and I wanted to read up on my gaming.

I did it 2 months ago and do not regret it at all.

earthempires.com, which was a swirve game (earth2025). It's a pretty old browser game, way back 1996-1998 i guess
|
Fire Emblem Fusion, mainly. Its not much now, but a few years ago it was one of the top english Fire Emblem forums.
Oh yeah, and Chrono Compendium before that.
|
|
I also frequent reddit. I like stackoverflow as well.
|
|
facebook.com----lol I should probably stop since I'm out of high school now. Art--- I do alot of charcoal as well as pen and inks(sharpie) Ping Pong/Table Tennis--- because it's genetic Xbox--- I just genocided all my games so now it's just Modern Warfare 2 and Table Tennis
|
GP Forums is the main one. That's where most of the kiwi gamers I know are. I'll also either join or start up an NSNZ website/forums once NS2 goes live.For time wasters I'm addicted to TV Tropes. Go go useless information.
|
I write fanfiction. :D
So I guess read on Fanfiction.net?
|
I used to post on The OtherGround a lot (mma.tv general discussion basically) but over the years, due to lack of moderation, it turned into a breeding ground for white supremacists, racists in general and conspiracy kooks. It used to be so positive and hilarious that I paid for the premium account (blue name, 35 dollars a year).
Being Asian, that place is now toxic for me. Every time I go back I get depressed at the state it's in and always get baited into race arguments.

somethingawful.com, specifically the sports section
but now that hockey is over idk what to dooooo

Yep. The difference between Digg and Reddit is that Digg just recycles reddit news hours later. Also, you dont have to deal with the stupid power users as you said. And I really enjoy alot of the self.reddit stories.

Hmmm didn't really think about that. But in my personal experience, facebook.com seems to get less traffic than it did during my high school days.

It's not gone persay. It just got "popular" I guess. Big influx of new posters and (although there's no way to tell) the people who started the community seemed to fade away. Lots of copy pasta and forced memes. Originality is gone Not that I would know, but I suppose that's how a few vets would feel about the TL community. Fledgling SC 2 bandwagon players coming out of the woodwork to invade and siphon off anything they can from the elders. (P.S. bit off topic but big thanks to the TL community in general, definitely learned a lot from everyone's posts and streams ^^)

great blog, and no I'm not being sarcastic. I "got out" of the torrent community 2 years back, used to be very active in the private trackers, and since then I've only really been on TL and facebook while watching tv-shows So thanks for making this, I need some advice on where to go next ^^

www.thewarcenter.net , where WC3 DotA (not All-Stars) was first made www.scorehero.com, competitive guitar hero haha www.smashboards.com, ssbmelee
