Where Do You Post? Where Did You Post?
I'm more of a lurker than a poster and as such I am active in very few forum communities. I've found those few to be pretty rewarding so I figured I'd pass them along in case anyone here finds something of interest. Conversely, I'm curious where you all post and have posted so I can scope out some new forums and see if I like any of 'em.
So, in the spirit of sharing, here's my list:
Dresden Codak: specifically the Octagon sub-forum. It's chalk-full of scientific and philosophical musings from a secular humanistic, atheistic and/or transhumanistic angle. Requires a login to view, sadly, but I've found the dialog there to be very solid when you can find a topic that interests you. DC doesn't update his comic very often but he does frequent the site's forum.
Civ Fanatics: specifically the Fall from Heaven Mod sub-forum. I'm a Civilization fan but I have been playing the Fall From Heaven 2 mod off and on for more than year. I think the world of it but if you don't care about Civilization or the mods thereof than you probably won't care about this forum. As a side note, if you own Civ4 and the Beyond the Sword expansion I highly encourage you to check out the mod
Galactic Civilizations 2: another video game forum. I was really into this game for quite a while and posted a little here. Mainly, I was drawn to the company's design methodology and heavy emphasis on listening to consumer feedback. I have since exhausted my interest in the GalCiv games but I'm still impressed with Stardock.
Order of the Stick/Giant in the Playground: I actually found my way to the old bb.boy Gaming Den through a post of the Tome of Necromancy there. I don't post here anymore but I do lurk occasionally, mainly to see what's up with Erfworld. I've also found this site to be a good way to see how casual gamers who aren't frothing-at-the-mouth-stupid think about select WotC material. I've been meaning to hit it up for 4th Ed info and opinions to see how they are responding to it.

leaving just the grogs, used to post on head-fi until I noticed that people there were actively against double blind tests, measurement tests and anything objective, so now I'm stuck with audioholics.
