I read (only) macrumors, normally chuckling whilst doing so.
Various technology forums..... and sad as it is "work" related "deepchip" which is all about ASIC/fpga design.

sadly most of the time... time is not on my side, and thus woodworking takes a back seat.



oh and collecting bits to make a junkyard jet, so I often read homemade jet sites/forums

Paininthe - what watch forums are of interest? Might enjoy a browse as I do like my watches and can't resist buying another every now and then. Some day I will develop a branch of man maths that justifies the purchase of an IWC

A warning though, it can make you want. Amongst others I collect Omegas, it is dangerous.
 
I read and sometimes post on the Wild About Britain forum mentioned by Big Soft Moose. I also read some other woodworking forums. I use several Apple Mac technical forums and also occasionally use other technical forums (vintage audio, studio audio, digital photography etc) - usually if I'm intending to buy new equipment or have a problem with existing equipment. I was a brief visitor to the Subaru Forester forum when my partner & I bought a secondhand Forester.

I prefer to use moderated forums, and don't hang about if the other members are not friendly, polite and knowledgable! Luckily this has proved to be the case in most of the technical forums I ever used.

Don't laugh - but I use a forum for the ford scorpio - the 'frogeye' one!

They only built about 120k of them and we think there are only about 50k left in the UK now! Ford don't seem to know much about them so it is a useful resource for owners!

Love the car, once you get used to the look :p

BSM also introduced me to Wild About Britain, which I read regularly but post less so, for which by now he's probably very grateful as there's a section on global warming and we tend to hold opposing views! :lol:

.

no we dont :p :lol:

actually we do but at least we can debate them like adults unlike a few on that site - its a great forum but the troll quoient seems to be rather higher than here.
 
Very true BSM, but nothing like the political forum I joined at the start of the week. I dropped out after two days. Politics 10% personal abuse 90%, not aginst me as I just watched and decided to leave 'em to it.

It may well be to Mike's disgust but I spend a bit of time on CAD forums but only post to one. I know from another woodwork site that I have given up on that he likes to get on and make stuff rather than sit down at a computer and do what he does for work. I know I have to be in the right mood to come home then start all over again :lol:
Another is for motorhomers, very friendly bunch and like this site full of very good info.
Rob.
PS. See Mike no Mr. Planer Man here.
 
I post to a model Rail forum called RMweb, BMWland, Photography Monthly, the other side :wink: and Basschat (guitars not fish).

I am also an infrequent poster on Cyclechat as well.

I need to get out more!
 
I used to post on the "other side" but what a bunch of losers, especially the big girls blouse (you know the one) then there's the two old gits, and the northerners and the Hampshire Henries, no I'll not be posting on there again mark my words :shock:

So who were you over there? I gave up on that one probably a year ago.

I used to visit a forum called Leics wicket keepers appreciation society, but the other member was sectioned so I had no one to talk to.

Mainly, in fact, only this one - http://www.pistonheads.com/

Sadly, I rarely post as they aren't the friendliest, polite or knowledgable bunch; VERY unlike UKW :D

I've posted a couple of times on serious subjects only to recieve replies such as "....so how big are your wifes........." You get the idea. :evil: :roll:

Thanks

Mark

I use pistonheads also, but stick to posting on on the smaller forums that intrest me such as The london tunnelers and the TVR forums. I have been on loads of meets with some of them and they are a frendly lot, athough there are plenty of idiots in the lounge.
