What are the largest and/or most active online forums, message boards,
chat rooms, etc. for senior citizens - OTHER than personals/dating
related sites?
I'm looking for active online communities - not just information
sites. Thanks.

Hello lifesize,

   I have gathered a list of Senior chats, forums, and message boards
for you. I have included 1 or 2 that also offer dating services, but
that is not their primary focus. I'm hoping you will find these
useful.

This site requires a membership, but it is free. It appears at first
glance that it is a dating site, and indeed it does have a singles
section, but I am sure you can find chat alone here.
