I've posted at Friends of Faire (Renaissance Faire junkies), the Poxy Boggards/Merry Wives of Windsor Boards (I'm pretty active there), Belles of Bedlam Forum, The Fenians Yahoo fansite. I'm currently pretty active on those three sites. I see I'm not the only one who has those feelings MissC. Since the Beaumandy banning/unbanning in World Events, I've cut back my time here quite a bit. My advice, find sites where you have an interest. I know you're a Scooby-Doo fan, perhaps there are communities in that realm you would find enjoyable.

You can go on any of their boards and I spend a lot of time on the CB. If you're interested in Christianity and positive thinking, go to www.hourofpower.org This is the website for the television show, Hour of Power. I used to go to the community boards there a lot, but very rarely do now. They have a counseling board, too. Enjoy!

Originally Posted By RoadTrip I pretty much stick to LP. I think it is the friendliest, best moderated board I've come across. I occasionally post on the boards at Trains.com in connection with my interest in Model Railroading. I'm not a big fan of the disboards. Though the have a huge amount of activity, their moderators become too involved in the boards for my taste. Here the Admin stays pretty much behind the scenes and does not get personally involved in threads or debates. At disboards (at least when I was there 3-4 years ago) the moderators were some of the most active posters. They tend to become "opinion leaders", and woe is you if you post something that runs counter to their opinion.
Originally Posted By Ursula I really like LP and I do most of my Disney talk here. But, I do like disboards for a change. I am Handbag Lady over there. I found them to be very nice and very helpful during the planning of our recent WDW trip. There is a thread there where these really, really nice ladies design t-shirt iron-ons for free for anyone who asks. With there being so many members, it does take a while, but it's FREE and they are very talented and ever so helpful. The downside is that there are over 70,000 people and I found it hard to make friends that were in the same places I would post.
Originally Posted By Ursula And I also post sometimes on a deadpool website, but I don't think I've ever talked about that here on LP. Some people don't understand and call me morbid. I find it fascinating and I've learned so much about the history of the world from the last 90 years or so.

This is the most family friendly place I know. I think we take for granted that the admins volunteer their time to LP. It's not a paid gig and it's certainly difficult to be all over the boards at any given time. I like that they stay behind the scenes for the most part. If I'm waiting for a response from them I expect it could take a little while. I don't always like it but I'm certainly understanding.

If there are ever any major things happening in the US (earthquakes, Hurricanes, terrorist attacks) the community board is always interesting with people reporting things as they happen.
