Boards.ie - Where are you?

sNarah

So - Here's for a bit of fun and curiosity! Most of us posting in Photography must surely be active in other forums too? So, tell us, where do you type! It might show some forums we didn't know of before and tell us a bit more about who posts in here!

(Mods - I know it's not really photography related, but it is community related and a bit of fun!)

So, tell us the following:

1 - Your Top 3 forums where you are an active poster in order of which one you frequent mostly.
2 - Which forums are you subscribed too (if any)
and 3 - What forums do you lurk at?

I'll start so...

1 - Your Top 3 forums where you are an active poster.
1 - The Cuckoos Nest (:o)
2 - Photography
3 - Dublin Country North

2 - Which forums are you subscribed too (if any)
Blogs/Wiki/Social Networks - Dublin Co North - Meath - Photography - Pix.ie - TCN

3 - What forums do you lurk at?
- Creative writing,
- Helpdesk, Feedback & Prison (they usually tend to be rather entertaining!)
- Languages: French, English & Other
- Politics
- Marketing
- Public Relations
- Works & Jobs
- Phantom FM
- Internet Marketing/SEO
- Swimming

I lurk over on the 'leccy picnic boards, but that's about it!

I tend to do more lurking than posting in all the forums these days., though i still do post regularly on boards. I'd say I'm most often looking at;

Photography
Emergency Services
Consumer Issues/Bargain Alerts
Pro-Wrestling
Louth Forum

And I'm sure I jump in and out of a few others.

Calina

On boards:

1) Commuting & Transport
2) Photography
3) Accommodation & Property
4) Development or whatever it's called right now

Elsewhere, I occasionally post on thepropertypin.com, badscience.net and kitesurfing.ie and have profiles on surfphotography, photography-on-the-net or whatever they have as links. Oh yeah, ravelry.com as well.

To be honest I don't have a whole lot of free time of late to explore much so not really reading blogs or anything else much either. Vaguely interested in timelapse photography at the moment but not doing anything about it. All my blogs are being neglected lately too.

FreeAnd..

Haven't been around this way in a long time - need to start dropping by more...

On boards I usually spend my time around the Oz/Nz forum and outside of boards usually on the property pin or if i need a good laugh on politics.ie...

can't access flickr or view images in work which makes the photography forum kind of mute

Thecageyone

I'm still the top poster on an Xbox 360 forum I've been visiting for the past 6 years! [was originally an xbox-1 forum updated to 360] - posts: 10k+ ... and I don't even have a 360 anymore! Sold it to help pay for my first dslr. That shows you I'm serious!

I stay there because of the friendships I've built with the lads over the years, and mostly hang out in the General discussion areas - usual - movies/music/general discussion/Downloads etc ..

Other than that, I'm not regular enough on any particular forums for it to count. A lot of 'dip-in-and-out' places I check now and then.

I do the rounds of the flickr groups, but that changes with my 'skills' and camera upgrade. Started out in the Fuji groups when I had the bridge cam, learned a lot in there. Moved on to the Sony Alpha groups when I got the dslr, still dip in there as it's now my second cam - busted or not. Still usable.

And I'm about to seek out some D200/Nikon groups ... good look with that eh?

Boards overall just seems way too vast! I'd only ever jump into a section I was willing to stay with. Hence why I'm here, though as I mentioned, came here to join the poker group initially. Just happened to revive the account when I started to get a little more confident about this photography lark [had peeked in many a time before I grew the balls to post]
