So, forum whore, where do you go?

What other internet forums do you frequent? I used to do a bunch, but I think I've narrowed it down to this forum, HCFX, and the animeondvd.com forums.

You know you're a whore. Who else are you doing?

I haunt this place and hcfx exclusively...I lurk around HCAF and TGP on occasion (and for the crazy emporium deals)

Used to hang aroun UG a bit, but that place can get :facepalm: quite often.

thepumpkins.net (which sucks right now as you can guess)
I sometimes stop by thevines.com forums.
I frequent HCFX, the gear page, and Ultimate-Guitar's buy sell trade forums.

I'm on this one the most though. :blahblah:

It's best just to steer clear of the pit; it's like 4chan on acid. :facepalm:

Uh... I kinda used to hang out on the Fuzzhugger forum, but I'm guessing that it's kind of moved here now.

I suppose I'm not so much of a forum whore... :facepalm:

This place and Talkbass every day.

HCFX when I'm really bored. I find that HCFX is not a good place to go if you want focused discussion, as 90% of the threads are OT. It especially blows my mind when they have these huge threads talking about guitars and amps in the effects forum. Its too hard to click on the forum right above fx if you want to talk about amps or guitars? WTF

As someone who frequents hcfx I have to disagree...the community is very different from HCAF or HCEG. Each one is its own tiny world so its cool.

HCFX loves pedals of course, and any music drenched in delays and reverb.

HCAF loves heavier music and for some odd reason, guns. Every time I peek in there they are talking about guns the way we fuzz nuts talk about pedals...it was kinda scary.
I'm not getting into gun control rights issues or anything but its just kinda weird how casually they fapped over devices you are suppose to kill people with.

I understand that people like to stick to their home forum even when they aren't talking effects. I guess I'm just way too used to Talkbass, where the mods are pretty quick to move threads that are OT or belong in another forum.

HC in general has such a huge volume that it's tough to manage it rigorously.

Agreed, which is why it drives me nuts when in the mood to read relevant threads about fx :)

The problem (and just speaking about amps and fx here, i don't hang around the guitar side) is very specific tastes.

The amp guys will tear you a new one if you don't play pointy guitars with active pickups through an engl/mesa/peavey and play heavy music.
fx forum will shit on you if you don't play a jazzmaster/tele though a fender clean amp for post-rock-alternative-indie music
Me? I like them all so I'm always out of place in both foums. Pedals are just more fun to talk about :p

Perhaps the forums should be split by musical tastes but that just opens up a whole other can of worms :whoa:
