What forums and boards are most popular among theoretical physicists ?
 
Physics news on Phys.org

You might consider reading sci.physics.research on the usenet. It's the only "board" in use by many physicists.

Most communication among physicists happens via journal articles or pre-prints. You might want to look at arxiv.org for those.
