Mathetais is on a distinguished road

I'm assuming we aren't all monogamous ... posting only on this forum.

Sorcerer's Place was my first, and is still my most frequently visited board. While it will always have a place in my heart, my interests have taken me to some other forums. Mostly forums with Christian or Pastor content.

What other forums do you all frequent? Not sure if Tal wants us to post links to other sites ... but I'm curious what subject matters and site names other than SP have caught your attention.



With Tal's permission ... see below ... here are the links to my favorite sites and forums.

Thrid Millenium
This page was started by one of my professors from seminary, and the boards are moderated by a former SP-er! If you have any questions on higher-thought & Christianity, search this site!

Desiring God
John Piper is one of my favorite authors, and this site links to his works and to similar-minded pieces of scholarship. The forum inspired by this page is located at http://dgmforum.hardlight.co.uk/

Christianity Today
This magazine has been a bedrock of information for years. Great stuff!

Ransomed Hearts
This is another one of my favorite authors. The boards here are for memebers only (sorry) ... you have to go to a retreat. The content is pretty personal ... issues with your dad, wife, self ... that's why its not open to the public.

Last but not least is Discover God
This site/forum was just launched a week ago. There is a great database here for any question God-related.

Can you see that I kinda have a one-track mind? I'm either defeating the darkness with my cleric/paladin self on SP, or I'm learning and working on how to better defeat the Enemy in RL!

Enjoy .. and please tell me what you think ... e-mail, PM or just reply below.

There are actually 2 sites I visit: My mail-account and SP That's all.
I only post on the Boards o'Magick.
I gave a link at some thread for Middle-Earth matters, nothing special! I promise!

I'm interested in these Christian/Pastor-things you told us about, though. Could you PM me the URL?

I've posted at the Lurkerlounge (Diablo oriented site) for a long time, but as the community their died down a bit, so did my posting there.

I also post at the PvP Forum, as well as a messageboard set up by a couple of friends. (local, none of your interest)

Edit: It's not so much that I'm cheating on SP, I just like spreading the Faragon-love. And that sounds afwully wrong

SP is my first frequently visited message board.

SW boards incur my wrath from time to time.

That's it for now. But hey Mat, send me some of those links. I'm interested.

SP is the only game related board I use. I do also post on the My Little Pony Trading Post boards, and at Tom's Place, which is a fishkeeping message baord. Not exactly what you'd call SP competition...

I was previously somewhat unfaithful with Mature Gamer, Slappy's site for us old farts in the gaming world. But there hasn't been much action there in awhile so this is the only gaming site for me now.

The main board I post on is called "Canning and Preserving the Harvest". It's no competition for SP- it's a site for survivalist-type housewives like me. Today I learned about a recipe for squirrel and dumplings! ("First, load your shotgun..." No, I'm kidding.) But usually it's not that avant-garde, just women talking about our experiences making pickles and that sort of thing. I also post from time to time on the AllExperts expert board (I'm an AE "expert" in the Home Cooking, British Cooking and French Cooking categories).

www.gamefaqs.com
obviously. this is where i've gotten D.Simpson's Baldur's Gate series faqs which in turn lead me to Sorcerers.net. Sometime when i came across people asking technical problems, i will direct them to here.

www.thedugout.tv
i play some Championship Manager along the way. This forum to the game is like sorcerers.net to Bioware & Black Isle games.

www.s3s196.com
This is my high school class homepage. Although we graduated in 96 but we are still keeping in touch with each other. Outsiders not welcomed.

www.liverpoolfc.tv
If i need some good laugh, i will go there to some uninspiring, rubbish, stupid trash posts about my favorite football (aka soccer) club Liverpool Football Club. Anyone with me?

Lastly, i have been visiting this particular forum that do nothing but bashing our government. It has been down for a while now (out of some mysterious reasons) and i haven't found a replacement.

Rallymama will become famous soon enough

There's a board related to the cooking show "Good Eats" that I sometimes read, and one called Chowhounds that's all non-professional restaurant reviews. Other than that, I'm on a parenting mailing list and one for cycling, but they're not terribly active.

Well, I used to post on Icewinddale and the R.A. Salvatore site forum, but I became rather unpopular seeing as I was, well, myself. And tried to keep up SP:an standards of English language

These days, the only forums I frequent are SP amd www.dmrealms.net, where I have a few unfinished games...

Depends. I follow the forums of the most recent products I'm waiting for, which means that they change all the time. Then again, there are some forums that have become "regulars" to me.

http://murobbs.muropaketti.com
A Finnish mostly lame discussion forum of all general things.

http://forums.interplay.com/index.php
Interplay forum. All things about Fallouts and Baldur's Gates. Joined only recently with Lionheart, but thanks to the pre-mentioned titles I think I'm there to stay.

http://www.starwarsgalaxies.com
While waiting for SWG.

http://www.sorcerers.net
You'd never guess what that is.

So I only have 2 forums that I've visited steadily for a while now. I stopped following Starsiege: Tribes forums years ago, and I've not visited many others save some mod forums for different games etc.

But I do idle hours on hours of time in IRC. Quakenet's channels #mirage, #knightb, #dof, #mademen, and #kalja being the public channels I can remember. And I've been thinking for a while of joining sorcerer's channel as well.

Well SP is still my most frequently visited site (or at least joint first).

There's also www.xboxrules.com, I love this site. The IRC chat is great too. Don't really like the Xbox much, but the gaming talk is just the same.

www.playstationrules.com, just a dead forum at the moment, still to be launched. I'm a staff member here.

www.playstation.com Lovely, SO much better than the Xbox official site.

And that's about it really.
