www.comicbookresources.com comics, and their own version of books/movies/games forums that pale in comparison to ENWorld's. One time, I got threatened to be SUED for something I said. The people are mostly either dumb or pretentiously snobby BUT so far its the only comic board I've found that MIGHT actually have something intelligent buried on it. Apparently internet comic book fans ARE the biggest losers around. Except maybe the fan-fic people and Harry-Hermione shippers. Maybe.
www.fantasybaseballcafe.com for fantasy baseball. the also have a football version. And I believe they recently added basketball too. (and hockey?). This site used to be incredible back before it was discovered. Now every person who just learned how to play yesterday, uses any mish-mash of rules, and can barely speak English is a regular there. The moderators try, but the board still winds up being cluttered. But if you're into fantasy baseball, this is a decent resource once you learn which posters have half a brain. OR you can always structure your team by doing exactly the opposite of what most posters suggest.
www.wizards.com Not half as bad as some of the people here suggest. (Yes, ENWorld has its own snobs too. Apparently, every board does) The way the boards are split up is a little silly, but it makes for a great secondary d&d resource to here. The Eberron boards provide some great Eberron threads, (and I would assume the FR forum does the same, but who knows) and the other forums vary in their coolness, but I just don't think its lives up to the bad reputation it gets (used to get?) here.
www.maxminis.com To trade minis. Don't think it serves much other purpose.
www.gamefaqs.com Still haven't found a good video game forum, and this is more useful as a place to find cheat codes and walkthroughs, but the "mini-forum" for each game can provide assistance or conversation that is sometimes useful. Again, YMMV depending on the game.
www.onlineonslaught.com If you're a wrestling fan. A small, but mostly sane wrestling hangout.
http://pub26.ezboard.com/basoiaf The A Song of Ice and Fire board. After I finished Storm of Swords, I devoured this place. I'm sure that after reading Feast of Crows later this year, the place will be packed with good stuff.
after Serenity comes out, the official Serenity movie forums will be a fun place for a week or two to watch people rant and rave on. If you havent seen the movie yet, DO NOT go to these boards. (no link because I refuse to spoil the movie by accident)
