Hello!
The resources hong has listed, while often very useful and interesting (the GURPSnet archive is among my own bookmarks), are not really forums or boards along the lines of this one. The GURPSnet is a mailing list, and the Web site hong links to is an archive for it, with a FAQ and some links to other GURPS sites. The GURPS newsgroup is a fairly typical Usenet group for an RPG, and has a community of sorts, resembling the one here, but without moderation it gets its share of flame wars, "adults-only" topics, and the occasional bit of spam. Still, folks there are generally happy to see new GURPS players, and usually willing to answer questions, sometimes with spirited debates containing much more detail than was originally asked for...
As far as actual message boards go, those for Pyramid Magazine (Steve Jackson Games' e-zine) have an excellent reputation, but you have to be a subscriber to get access. Never bothered myself (I prefer paper for my magazines), but it's supposedly a pretty good deal, with access to their online playtest material included as well.
Hope this helps, and have fun with the GURPSing....

Gotta second that vote for Pyramid.
Got playtest files.
Designer's Notes, material left out of books, thought process, etc...
Reviews of other books than SJG.
Sometimes a comic or two.

I used to play GURPS and I have to agree that Pyramid Magazine is the best place to go for all things GURPS. The GURPSNET-L mailing list is the second best place but you should be prepared for a lot of mail. Make sure you subscribe to the digest version.
