What boards/lists do you frequent?

[Jax]

I'm seeing people here that I know from all kinds of different places online, so I thought I'd ask what everyone's favorite online hangouts are..maybe folks can find new places to go from this thread.

As far as message boards go, I started out on the granddaddy of them all, Perpetual Motion, almost 5 years ago..

I also post (with varying levels of frequency) on:

Power of Omens (new board to come with the new site design cuz EZBoard blows goats)
( http://pub63.ezboard.com/bpowerofomens )

And I'm active on a few mailing lists as well:

TEoF - The Symphony X mailing list

#teof - the official Symphony X IRC channel ( irc.starchat.net ); I also hang out in #sgallery (the Shadow Gallery channel) on the same server at times

I started going to Perpetual Motion a few months ago and I must say it is the single most annoying board layout I've ever seen. I'm going to wean myself off of it.

Hey, lady of the oracle and other guys... I see that you posted the shadow Gallery mailing list. So what is going on with these guys?

Any recent news or anything?

I'll take anything you've heard at all!

 

[MetalAges]

Hm, I know of not ounce of new news with these guys. Jax?

 

[Pure Evil]

You can find me on the Maiden BB, the Iced Earth - Frozen Messages BB, and this one. Every now and then I check the Nevermore BB but i hardly post there, i lurk most of the time.

 

[metropolis2k X]

I run the Pain of Salvation board.

I tend to stay away from DT.net but I end up answering a lot of questions there (because I'm a DT geek )

I love to visit John Petrucci's, Mike Portnoy's and Jordan Rudess' forums and I can be seen at James Labrie's every now and again.

I'm a bit of a lurker at Spock's Beard's message board and have visited King's X's forum once (but left after a rediculous amount of DT bashing ) and look around at the Harmony Central forum a bit.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

i tend to go a lot to this boards

The Syx board
Ayreon
Dream Theater
Metallica
The Audiogalaxy message boards
The Blubster bulletin boards
Metalium
The musicians discussion board
Opeth
Old School board
and the general music discussion board

Hey CIAO!!! i'm also lurkin in there... to tell the truth is some time i haven't gone in the PoS forum, anyways i'm still subscribed and now that im planning to have some more free time (at least for a while) i will make a jump in there again!!!

Anyways my favourite places are the #teof chat and the #tio (in spanish), i'm on the TEoF mailing list and on the TiO one (even if it was just started and it has three members with me!) and since when this forum was created, i also come here

But... one thing.. sincerely i cannot understand how the friggin' fuck can someone be an ACTIVE WRITER, in 3 or 4 different mailing lists, be on 5 or 6 IRC chats, PLUS, check half of the UM forums... AND!!! be on ICQ, AIM, YAHOO....
AT THE FRIGGIN' SAME TIME?!?!?!!?
And without dying?!?! For God, how CAN YOU??!?!!?

X-Greets,
Knight_ (who's startin to breathe heavily just to track the posts at the SyX forum!!! LOL!)
