Theres a new board I found out about, Topix. It seems to be a sort of generic forum board, you don't have to register to post, but you can register if you wish.
It's wide open, and anything goes. They have a "report abuse" button, and sometimes certain posts or topics do go away, but, it takes time.
There is some good subjects on it right now, but , also, some idiots that just post silly comments, some of them are insulting, but most ignore them.
Some of the topics could really do well to be discussed here, on this board. But, it seems no one much hangs here anymore, wonder why. Is it because we have to register now.
