Tripadvisor...what are other travel review boards?
Checking with Tripadvisor is one of the first places I consult when planning a trip. Are there other boards similar to this you could recommend?

Once I have a couple hotels in mind, I put the names on forums (here and TA) for opinions. I feel I get even better information that way, rather than only reading reviews already posted somewhere.

Trip Advisor has many different sections, and I'm not sure what part of the website Katiekate is asking about. There are hotel reviews that people post in one part. And another separate Forum section is similar in format to this one.
So are you looking for "bulletin boards" like this one where people chat back and forth? Or a place to be able to look up hotel reviews people have posted?

It is in no way connected to Fodor's... the excellent website you are currently on

Depending on destination and your style of travel I think "The Thorn Tree" forum found at www.lonelyplanet.com is an incredible resource. Hundreds of thousands of registered posters from all over the world. More aimed at budget and 'backpack' style travel. With special interest boards for older travelers, gay travelers, disabled, etc.

Please post reviews after your stays...we've noticed that lots of places are 'cleaning up their acts' now that reviews are so readily available. There is no need to get "taken" anymore.
The other side of the reviews thing is that hotels seem to be posting their own "positive" reviews...if I see a place that has 2 reviews per year and then all of a sudden 4 great reviews in a one-month period, I look elsewhere for accomodations.
