I love this board - full of good people w/good info. However sometimes I have questions that aren't really about travel (some of you may have seen my post about what to wear to a wedding). I've tried a couple of other boards on different topics, but very few seem to have the kind of activity we find here on Fodors.

So I ask you, what other bulletin boards have you found useful on topics other than (or including, I suppose) travel? Just curious (I'd love to find good bb's for decorating and fashion). I've visited slate.com for politics but folks there are REALLY mean!!!!!!!

I enjoy straightdope.com for all sorts of info. I don't like frommers too much - it is too difficult to navigate and hardly any activity - questions never seem to get answered

tripadvisor.com now has message boards...
I know what you mean about political message boards! Everyone seems to be trying to be the next Ann Coulter!
Ooops, just reread your message - I don't really know of any good non-travel boards...

Disney = Disboards.com

Weddings = TheKnot.com

Travel = TravelTalk.com

Television = TelevisionWithOutPity.com

www.niagarafallsreviews.com has a review type forum

I tried traveltalk.com with no success

I find epinions.com good for lots of information on many things.
I signed up for tripadvisor.com and was so disappointed. Immediately when their e-mail came in to confirm that I had signed up, about 20 spam e-mails also arrived. I had never had spam in my e-mail like that before. And, somehow, they manage to bypass the bulk mail folder and it goes directly to my e-mail. Also, their forums are not as good as Fodors. There is not much good information and very few responses to anything in Tripadvisor forums. I would not recommend them at all, and thought I would warn everyone about their spam tactics.

I like Chowhound.com for restaurant conversations.

about.com also has all kinds of different forum topics.

www.craigslist.com

it has many bulletin boards on all sorts of topics.

www.cruisecritic.com for cruise information

Try bhg.com (message boards) for Better Homes and Gardens for decorating ideas.

runtexu.com forum for running related stuff - my fave - it gets really hilarious!!

morningstar message boards for finance.

Flyertalk.com
boards.hgtv.com

Snowrooster, I like visiting Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer's (mother-daughter) homeschooling website, not because I homeschool (although I do supplement a bit) but b/c the parents have great suggestions. If you ever have a question about your child's education or development, this is a good place to go.

OMG GoTravel - I love Television Without Pity. I even read their recaps of shows I have seen because their recaps are so sarcastic and funny. If you watch any reality tv realitynewsonline.com is pretty good for recaps as well.

Being a timeshare owner, I belong to the Timeshare Users Group BBS @ www.tug2.net . Anyone can register, but you must be a member to access the 'members only sections'. There is all sort of travel related information on TUG, besides other information on timeshares, buying, selling and exchanging.
Also TSTips @ www.tstips.com for more information and general stuff too.
Fodor's of course.

All my message boards are travel boards -lol... Trip Advisor, Lonely Planet, and Fodor's!

Duh, I gave the wrong link. Sorry radiofanatic it isn't TravelTalk but www.FlyerTalk.com

If you are former Navy who served on destroyers, destroyer types, or tenders, the Tin Can Sailor site, http://www.destroyers.org lists 865 ship reunions and lists the names of 59,000 sailors who served on the ships.

For Korean War vets and families, the Korean War project site, http://koreanwar.org has bb's for each branch of service plus planned reunions.
