Question ID: 24126
I am looking for some good discussion forums besides this wonderful
forum. The forum needs to get a high volume of searches seeing it.  It
can be for a fee or for free.  Does anyone have any idea's.

Request for Question Clarification by grimace-ga on 10 Jun 2002 09:31 PDT
Hi -

Do you have a particular sphere of interest, or should this be a
completely general discussion forum? From your other questions, for
instance, I might expect you to be looking for local history fora.

Are you looking for a US-based forum, or would European or others do?

Clarification of Question by stephenh-ga on 10 Jun 2002 09:58 PDT
You are very right.  What I am looking for is just about on the same
line like I was looking on the other subject.  I want to try to open
my opinions to try to get more people to help me get the answers I am
looking for. Any suggestions.

Hi,
Thanks for using Google. There are many such forums available on net
where you can participate and start your discussions.

Here is one interesting forum I found which allows you to post your
comments and you can ask questions to the experts for a fee. This is a
paid forum.
[ http://www.zdnet.com/community/ ] It has various technical topics
forum and other topics like Finance, News and business.

Check these sites for starting or joining discussions:
[ http://www.galatta.com/entertainment/discussions/default.asp ]
[ http://bing.math.ohiou.edu/~sustain/wwwboard/ ]
[ http://www.theunrealworld.com/bbs/bbsv2.0/search.php3?action=active
]

This one is also very interesting and open forum.
[ http://cwforums.computerworld.com/webx? ]

If you are interested in forums related to Maths, check this one:
[ http://mathforum.org/discussions/ ]

Above all, Google forum is "The Best" you can look for.
[ http://groups.google.com/ ]

Search terms used:
discussions forum
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=discussions+forum&btnG=Google+Search

general discussions forums
://www.google.com/search?q=general+discussions+forums&hl=en&lr=

I hope this is what you were looking for. Feel free to ask for any
clarifications (if any) and don't forget to rate this answer.
