What other forums to y'all post and/or lurk at?

I am a Doper (http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/); a Fathomite (http://fff.fathom.org); and a Unaboarder (http://unaboard.coalgoddess.net).  I'm also a TotalFarker and make occasional comments on Fark threads.  I must confess that I've neither posted or lurked at Dumbrella since the Achewood forum defuncted.

Any other good boards I should check out?

I must admit, I havent been back to the Dumbrella board at all. But then I don't read any of the other comics there.
I keep my forum use to a minimum so I remember the important ones.
Here, occasionally the official Tweaker.net forum (Chris Vrenna's post NIN band) and the IBList.com forum since I'm an admin there.
I occasionally will lurk on other forums to find out information, say at the moment trying to find out what's happening with a game's European release date.

I used to play The Random Game but it closed twice. I also used to mainly lurk at AoD (http://www.animeondvd.com) but I've stopped because I'm trying to save money and I've found a good way is to simply remain ignorant of the new DVDs coming out.

I post at Dumbrella a little but sometimes they just piss me off. A bunch of them are all trying to out indie each other. I can only take so much of people bragging about not having watched TV or listened to commercial radio for 5 years while wearing various hoodies and planning Halloween costumes months in advance.

And I won't even get into the whole image toolbar in IE arguement that happened over there.

This is the only forum I really read; Dumbrella is the only other one I've ever even signed up for.  I still do most of my lurking on usenet...

...god I feel old.

I really stopped lurking Dumbrella after the Achewood board there folded. I lurked the Wigu board for a while, but, well, with the exception of the occasional awesome thread, there was no Wigu there and a whole lot of The Bob Talbot, which I honestly am living well enough about.

Other than this, I'm signed up to a few other boards, but they're generally topical and not worth mentioning here.

GreenCine Forums, Elder Scrolls Forums,  and very occasionally on Anime News Network, AnimeOnDVD, and Slashdot. Used to be heavily on Metafilter but I started turning into a jerk so I asked Mathowie to ban me (which he graciously did)(I still read the thing obsessively).

I used to be a regular on the Sonic Youth board before I stopped caring...   Hung out on the K Records board briefly... Now its mostly just this one, although I'm addicted to Metafilter.  I came along too late to join, but I read it every day to the level where I'm familiar with all the personalities and in-jokes.  I even read Metatalk.  It's a little sad.

I also post on Ryan's forum about Dinosaur comics!  They use a lot more exclaimation points over there!

Oh yea, I have the odd post on the Elder Scrolls forums.
And I post on slashdot sometimes, but I tend to get so annoyed at the people there that half the time I don't bother.

I own Morrowind but my computer can't realistically run it. I meets the requirements but things don't work as well as they should.

Yes, indeed it is, my son.
