AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for philosophy forums focusing on theoretical ethics include PhilPapers, which offers discussions but requires non-professional philosophers to have posts moderated, causing potential delays. Other suggested forums are philosophyforums.com and philosophyforums.net, although they have not been recently visited by contributors. Spinoza's Ethics is also highlighted as a valuable resource for those interested in ethical discussions.

There are sites like philosophyforums.com and philosophyforums.net. I haven't visited either in years, but one is very much like this place ad lead me here.
