Crunchyroll forums (rarely used)

The Kanzenshuu forums is pretty much the only forum I visit, since I don't have much time nowadays.
But in the days, I used to visit:

The MFG forums

The db-se.com forums

The SDN forums

The Leaf Ninja forums

But I don't much anymore. It happens that I check in on them once in a while.
But the MFG and db-se.com forums are dead now.

The only forums I use regularly are here and The Escapist forums. I rarely go on The Official Nintendo Magazine forums, as it's mostly just repeats of the same threads by biased Nintendo fanboys. I used to go on the MFG forums until they unfairly banned me (they claimed that I'd done something, when I hadn't), and then they went dead. And I think I have accounts on a couple of other forums that I occasionally check too.

I regularly use scorehero.com and the rockband.com forums. I also lurk on the suikosource.com forums, but mainly only for Suikoden 1 stuff since that's the only game I played.

The scorehero forums are fairly well-moderated, but not quite as strict as here. They do have rules on avatar and signature size.

Apart from Kanzenshuu, the only other forums I visit are TVTropes' forum and Bulbagarden. I'm not as active on Bulbagarden, I've been there since September of last year and only got ~550 posts there.

TVTropes, on the other hand, is my most visited forum. It is far less monitored than Kanzenshuu, which is both a blessing and a curse. While I come here for the civil environment (personally it is a must when discussing Dragon Ball), I go there just to be wacky with the rest of them.

Hell, the Naruto thread only really discusses Naruto when new instalments come out, most of the time the thread can be described as "a group of friends sit around talking nonsense and occasionally welcoming a newcomer". It's great. The downside is that most debates quickly become very petty and calling in a mod might just make it worse. Still, the fun outweighs those moments for me.

I also have a Gamefaqs account but I only used that to ask questions in the Bleach The 3rd Phantom board when I was playing that.
I'm re-watching Dragon Ball GT in full on my blog. Check it out if you're interested in my thoughts on the series as I watch through it!

I used to be a lot more active on a good number of forums, but as it is now, this is probably my second most active one.

FUNimation Forums: This is easily my most active forum, if I'm on the internet, then I have a tab open there. It was the first forum I ever joined, I've known and met a lot of great friends there, so it's really just like home for me. I'm glad to get to help out there as a Moderator now too. I just wish the forums were a bit faster and more active than they are, more like they were on the older board.

Technodrome Forums: Pretty much the biggest TMNT forum I've ever run into, and it's a great place to find out news for the franchise, ranging all the way from the original comics to the new ones, and even covering every single toon and film adaptation. It's a fun place, but I'm afraid I do more lurking there than actual posting.

And that's about it as far as being at least somewhat active goes. I also have accounts on AnimeNewsNetwork, Richard's Animorph Forums, and Shohan USA (which is run by a friend, so I really need to get back into the game over there) that would be my next level of activity, but ANN I only post if I'm interested in an article, and the other two I just check into once every month at most.

Other than Kanzenshuu, I pretty much only hang around Toonzone. I've started to pop by the AniPages forum recently, too, but they don't get too much traffic, sadly. :(

I think what helps Kanzenshuu, like Daizenshuu EX before it, is the focus on only Dragon Ball and the tight moderation. The more you commit to a standard, the higher quality the discussion. Weeding out the weaknesses makes for better quality!

Do you go to The Escapist forums for Zero Punctuation (fan of his humor)? Back on-topic, this is the second fourm I've ever been to. The others as follows:

The Let's Player Fourm: Went there so I could show them my beginning stuff. They're sort of hard on Let's Play newbies though. Plus, an already banned member on there replied to me saying my Let's Play sucked and I should not try to be funny (even though I wasn't trying to do so :roll: ).

The GenGame Mythos Fourms: I registered on there and it said that a valid registration email will be sent momentarily, and it still hasn't sent the email.

I should probably go to more forums. Maybe I'll register on to Zelda Dungeon...

In terms of other Dragon Ball forums, I posted on MFG back before it closed, and had a very short run on GameFAQs before I was repulsed by ramptan trolls. Nowadays I dabble around on Neoseeker and Pojo's DB sections on occasion. I think I hit a high point in my activity at both places during this past month while I was on my self-dictated hiatus from here, but now that I'm posting again my activity elsewhere is way down. No other DB community needed with Kanzenshuu around.

For non-Dragon Ball communities, I post now and then on Arlong Park (One Piece), and I'm a long-time member of Pokémopolis (...Pokémon).

Apart from Kanzenshuu, the only other forums I go on are:

- AVPGalaxy

- Evageeks forums (rarely go on)

- Toho Kingdom

- That Guy With The Glasses

For other Dragon Ball forums, I posted on MFG before it closed in 2010 and I was on the forums since 2005. I was on the forums then most people where and I remember I would update the front page with news. I used to post on GameFAQs in 2004 until I was banned in 2006.

Yeah, that, and Escape to the Movies, The Big Picture, and they have a lot of interesting debates that I get sucked into.

I used to be very active on ToonZone and Arlong Park forums but eventually I lost interest in both after a while. I sometimes lurk on AP but rarely. This is pretty much the only forum I'm active on.

BZPower.com forums
-Which is winding down, unfortunately.

Equestriaforums.com
-Lots and lots to talk about here!

ZeldaDungeon.net forums (rarely)
-I used to post here about "The Timeline," but otherwise I figured out that I don't care for Zelda forums dicussion.

RuneScape.com forums (rarely)
-The official forums for the game. Unfortunately, it's pretty immature. I don't use these forums much.

Userscripts 'Better Watch Page' Discussion
-Better Watch Page is a userscript for Firefox. It makes the Youtube watch page look like its 2009 (best) incarnation. (Remember the sidebar?) It's nearly perfect, too! I go here to give suggestions about improvements.

Kanzenshuu is the only Dragon Ball forum I go on now these days. All of the old Dragon Ball sites are long gone and I hear most of older members that used to go post on the Dragon Ball section on Gamefaqs don't even post on GF anymore. Kansenshuu is the only Dragon Ball forum to me that has no noobs and that there is good legit discussions other then "Character A vs. Character B" or "What do you think my power level is?". Kanzenshuu is the like the Club Tokyo of Dragon Ball forums expect for that we don't have many bad film snobs :P .

It looks like I'm not the only member from Evageeks. I will admit that I hardly go on there anymore since I haven't cared about Evangelion in nearly two years. I only go on there to see what's going on in the funny picture thread and that's it. I also use to go on Vgboxart but I haven't post on the forums in over a year. I pretty much stop posting on that forum since 2008 when the site started to have annoying kids and noobs start joining the forums.

I finally cracked down and joined DeadIslandForums.com the other day. They just made a thread about how the website can be improved. I suggested to get rid of their off-topic section, since it's one big mess and all. Judging by their responeses it isn't going anywhere, sadly.

I'm a little upset that some of you are referring to "noobs" in such a poor and disgusting way.

You were all new once -- myself and yourselves included -- to some community. You didn't always know everything. You weren't always a regular member. You were the scrappy person coming in. You were the one that didn't know anyone. You were the one with a lot to learn.

Humility is an important thing.

That's true that we are noobs at one point but in the past, the Internet was not as popular and was not in many houses compare to it. Now these days, kids can easily join forums and easily flood the place. I'm glad that this forum does not have many underage members and it seems like people here always banned so quickly too.

I can count on one hand the number of people we've banned in the last... umm... several years.
