Physics forum is of course the best, and you guys are the coolest, but what other generall interest forums you like?
I have been on Straight Dope forum(pretty good), but got banned, they are very PC.
Liberty forum is also OK.

Have you figured out a way to spend more than 24 hours in a day? 2 message boards? I can't even begin to imagine.

You have to quit school or work like I did, that is the secret.

I think I see your problem.
You aren't really posting to two forums. You are posting to this one twice. You should look into www,short-term-m???????.co?, what was I saying? oh yeah, once boarded twice. sigh.

Other than here, I like Philosophy Forums (http://www.philosophyforums.com).

I used to post at several others that aren't worth mentioning.

I mostly post here, and ocassionally at two of those MSN communities. One of those used be fun, but has died down to a slow trickle of posts. The other is filled with nutcases that I find amusing to watch argue from time to time. I come here for the intelligent conversation.

My main pasion in life is racing motorcycles (the buzz is awesome). As such I spend a bit of time on the Suzuki Owners Club (http://www.socweb.co.uk/forum/default.asp) forum where many of my racing friends (and fans!) meet up and chat.

Quite fun, very very un-PC (hang the bastards etc) and some nice folks.... not much on particle physics though......!!

I'm a hockey fanatic, and I post at the best hockey board there is - hfboards.com

I also post at calgarypuck.com, because I'm a huge Flames fan.

I have to admit, I could never stand the philosophy forums. I post pretty heavily at the
Armenian Club Forum (http://forum.armenianclub.com) and at Laker, Dodger, and Angel fan forums.

Zooby originally found it, but it had become so popular that the owner couldn't keep up with it. IT IS BACK!!!!! - http://www.seaslugforum.net/ This is (honestly) a very interesting forum. The only reliable place on the internet to get your sea slug properly identified

I am heavily into astronomy and such so I hang out at the Bad Astronomy Bulletin Board (http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/index.php) quite a bit. Very likely the best astro forum out there. :smile:

I have been kicked out of Straight Dope forum, they are extremelly P.C by the way.

Really? I exhibited significant political incorrectness at Straight Dope, and they did not ban me. I found them to be as tolerant as Physics Forum. Basically, if one uses objective speech when putting forth political incorrectness, they will accept your posts.

But, that being said, I do understand that forum owners have to sometimes curtail politically incorrect speech due to several reason, such as:

1.) anti-free speech laws

2.) forums that rely on funding from people who oppose free speech

3.) The Anti-Defamation League harasses website owners that allow political incorrectness and they threaten to call the website's ISP and get them shut down.

Here is a thread at Infidels Forum where a supporter of the Anti-Defamation League is theatening to petition the ADL to shut down Infidels Forum because they allow free speech: http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=108350

This forum is very liberal in comparisson to the Straight Dope,
for what I posted here they would kill me at Straight Dope,even thinking about then gives me nausea.
