Gamereplays.org has a somewhat active general section, and then clan forums with many different interests. It's not the highest level of community, though. The Cybernations.net forums also have decent general forums, but a cybernations account is required (free, but it takes a bit of effort to maintain your nation. You might get the added benefit of enjoying the game, though) | ||

Safe havens for all those naive enough to think it's not a complete waste of time. | ||

In general I've found that "general purpose" boards rarely have the cohesion to hold intellectual discussions, and so people feel more willing to flame etc. If a board is too big, it is really hard to have a lengthy debate without there being about a zillion participants. I'd look at any site which frequently has discussions like that. I'd just avoid any ultra-massive forums. | ||

I'd look at any site which frequently has discussions like that. I'd just avoid any ultra-massive forums. /b/ does have something intelligent posted on it once in a while. When the world was shitting itself over whether the LHC would kill us all, /b/ was discussing it. I learned a fair bit from that thread. Also, there is debate that is on par with TL's about the presidential debate, just full with a fair bit of morons. If you check 4chanarchive.org, you can find a job bitch thread that did quite well. There is a tonne of aborted thoughts and brain shit, though. | ||

And over time if you read stuff on the same website you keep seeing the same types of posts from the same people, thus generating less original thought imo. The best site I've found so far for my purposes has actually been /r9k/, but as it's become more populated there's a lot more shit content (natural progression of a forum I guess). | ||

not for cussing, not because i'm flaming, but simply because of the topic itself, or the stance i take. stick to gaming topics on gaming forums. cause the unseen forces of censorship is too strong in forums not dedicated to open discussion. | ||

But for discussing news, random things/issues, and for some very interesting and wacky topics it's great. | ||

anontalk.com (sometimes good stuff, but mostly pedos) 4chan.org (ROBOT 9000 is the best general board. There are terrific discussions there ALL THE TIME. forget /b/. ROBOT 9000 is /b/ without middle schoolers) somethingawful has terrific forums, but you have to pay for it. | ||

somethingawful is my favourite forum besides this one, but its actually way bigger and much more diverse than TL's forum | ||
