Although this is one of my favourite forums, the gp32.com board is not the only one. I also like to visit.

http://www.vpforums.com/forum/

Home of Visual Pinball emulation. A great bunch of mature pinball lovers, enjoying making, discussing and playing emulated pinball machines. Some great and sometimes a bit too intense discussions (yep, happens everywhere).

My favourite high speed, small and easy Linux distro. Nice and helpfull people, because of the high frequency of new releases there is always something happening. Not much zealots here.

Every eeepc user should know this forum by now. It's almost impossible to keep up with all posts. Great laptop, great forum.

Recently found this forum. Very interesting threads, and a great forum to ask a question. There are a couple of very knowledgeable persons here.

[edit] changed vpforum url
 
I used to visit the CtrlAltDel forums, but it was a bit too fast paced for me, tbh.
 
Howardforums - For cellphone enthusiasts. This is my main forum. Very fast paced, fun place to hang out.

Macrumors - Obviously, a Mac forum. This is a holdover from my Mac using days. It's fun to go there and push some buttons, from time to time.

EeeUser - Nice to see a fellow Eee user. This is a budding community, with a lot of good people.

Notebook Review - Great place to research notebook computers. Excellent community.
 
I used to visit the Revolution Report (now called the Wiire) forums quite a lot. I spawned a gigantic thread that eventually turned into stupidity, but it was pretty fun. I left after a while, and when I came back, the forums weren't nearly the same. Mods warning people all the time for even posting jokes, stupid stuff like that. Just a real lack of consideration to members that actually cared about the boards. Everything had to be "on topic," so you didn't scare new members away or some crap like that.

I tried to make my own forums to get that old feeling of community back, but it didn't last long. And for the time it did last, people from the Wiire would come on and troll the heck out of everything, just to be idiots.

That's pretty much been it. This place is pretty good.
 
I lurk the Halfbakery when I'm bored, occasionally posting ideas when I'm feeling imaginative. If you look at my profile, you'll see I'm not as creative as some of the regulars around there.

Instructables is a fun place, whether you participate or just lurk, lots of smart people there.

Back when I was more into programming (the summer before last up until last spring), I would visit The Daily WTF, just about every day. It feels great to laugh at other people's crappy code and it makes your own look better.

And if there was something that stumped me while I was coding, I'd visit TheScripts, people there are usually friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Recently, I spend most of my time in the real world, probably about 30 minutes at Halfbakery every day and 15 minutes here.

and a few others than i'm not going to tell you :p
 
I have a poke around on the GameFAQ forums now and again to see what tripe these pre-pubescent teenage americans are spouting. Always good for a laugh.

I visit there occasionally. I have an old Toshiba laptop and I experimented with several Linux distributions on it and liked Puppy the best. I have never got it to recognise the Wifi PCMCIA card though and so I cannot get it online so it is still running XP which runs fine and does recognise the Wifi card. I check the site every now and then for a new version and see if supports my card but always no luck.

I found the forum helpful but their suggestions didn't work. I haven't posted again about it because I don't want to irritate them with the same thing.


I also visit dcemu, World Of Spectrum and The Fall forum.

Well, wifi can still be a bit of a problem on linux especially PCMCIA cards. That said it was the first distro recognizing my USB wifi out of the box.
If you ask something like this in the newbie section it could be nobody with the right knowledge reads it.
If installation is problematic and it is not a newbie question, the best way to solve it is using the newest version of Puppy (the one they are testing) and ask your question in the bug report thread.
They are very motivated to squeeze out problems like this from new releases.

I have seen some interesting development on PCMCIA on the blog of Barry Kauler (creater of Puppy Linux) btw. http://puppylinux.com/blog/. Maybe related to your problem.
