I'm curious .. are people feeling like they're part of our community here? and if so, are they also into a bunch of other message board communities, or is this it? Is this the only one you have time for, or are others just not as interesting/technical/savvy? or are you a message board freak with 10 communities, spending 3 hours a night posting?


For myself, I'm a member in a number of other big retro communities (Atari/coding mostly), but they're only a fraction compared to here.. I check in once a week to those guys, but check in 10 times a day here :)

Not including facebook, mailing lists, usenet groups, webrings, etc; I'm trying to compare to the sort of community we have here.

I'd say mainly here, I wasn't big into forums before joining the Pandora Community.. Hell I lurked around the original Pandora Forum on the GP2X site without a user account for a year before creating an account.


Outside of bluesnews.com, this is my only gaming related site I follow.

although occasionally I might visit the natami forum (lurking only) this is my main forum, I visit daily (multiple times a day).
 
I pootle around on the STK dev forums and submit artwork from time-to-time :)
 
I spllt my forum time between -


Here - OpenPandora.org


GLBasic.com - Coding forum and a nice place to just hang out.


Retro Remakes (OW-VG now) - I've always been a fan of retro/styled games - and have remade loads.


Blitz.com - old habits die hard I haven't used any version of Blitz for years, but have them all.


gp32x.de - more of a glimpse than anything else, as not a lot happens there nowadays


SoCoder.net - a small but friendly place to discuss mainly coding, but anything goes.


Jamma+ - arcade games and general prattle. A real nice bunch of people there


There are a few others I frequent from time to time.

Used to be active on a few boards daily but was a bit much on the time.


Hip hop one


QI one


Mac themes one, which got left behind when I jumped to Android


Xda one and couple others just now and then.


I've cut down my habit to just 2 forums a day now.
 
unless i end up someplace because of a new device, or i googled, im mostly only here as far as gaming goes
 
I hang out a bit on the Escapist. Been lurking there for years, and I keep my comments to the news articles and whatever the latest top 5 threads are. What I like about this place though is that it's a bit smaller and comfy, not like there's thousands of you guys, and not so many idiots here either. But there's only so much I can get out of reading about my future product every day, so I mostly keep it to reading up on the Pandora forums while I take my morning shit.
 
DCEmu


DOSGames.com Forums


Daedalusx64.com


A lot of the others i'm not really bothered about :)
 
Besides here, my other daily forums are:


The English Amiga Board: eab.abime.net


The Aussie Arcade Forums: www.aussiearcade.com.au
 
Here and as per THB, The Aussie Arcade Forum: www.aussiearcade.com.au


I also spend a short time on the following forums


BYOAC


Atariage


Handheldmuseum


Digitpress

I used to be a member at a trading card game forum and a guitar forum, but nowadays I only check this one regularly. I try not to get too attached to it, though, because I find it sucks up a lot of time. Plus sometimes it's hard to contribute without a physical unit.
 
This one , other than that I lurk more than that guy whos always sitting 2 seats behind you on the bus and cleaning his glasses when you look back .

Multiple, though I am most active here. Which is not all that active to be honest.
 
I'm an infrequent poster on about a dozen different forums, ranging from here to retrogaming to artsy stuff. If I would just commit to a couple I'd probably have something of an internet presence!


For the record, this is easily the most pleasant board I frequent now that the trolls have mostly evaporated :B
