I enjoy the way forums work and how they’re laid out. I also love how useful they are, especially when so many companies are replacing their entire communities with a Discord channel, which is less than ideal. I only use a few forums, but I’d like to find some more to browse through, it doesn’t matter the topic!
My wee list:
- TIGSource Forums - Video game developers big and small post here, there’s even a section for showcasing work-in-progress projects which is really cool.
- The Metal Archives Forums - The main site is pretty much the gold standard for metal music cataloguing. The forums are obviously about the metal genre, too.
- Cook’d and Bomb’d - This is a comedy aficionado forum. It’s about all comedy, but it originally focused on the work of Chris Morris (Brass Eye, The Day Today).
EDIT: “Meal” to “metal” 🤦

It’s %100 a clone of old.reddit.com
The guy worked for reddit for 4 years, dude didn’t like that reddit was a “safe space” for assholes. So he left made tildes and now bans basically anyone he disagrees with.
That sounds like an exaggeration to me, but the place is healthier than most. Maybe he’s banning the right people.
It was nice, the problem is he bans people who like to discuss anything, present facts, and you get banned if it goes against his political beliefs by any matter.
