Lately I’ve been using Reddit a fair amount. Particularly the different finance subreddits. There’s so many of them and unfortunately a lot of it boils down to, “If you are doing well others just blow smoke up your ass and if you are struggling everyone piles on” (kind of like life in a nutshell). If you’re willing to sift through a ton of that crap you can find some really useful nuggets here and there though.
Also, as a good rule of thumb I’ve found the high income investment forums are useful for how to allocate retirement savings and the low income forums are useful for getting the most out of day to day spending. Don’t waste your time with the high income frugal living stuff. Those places are full of rich people congratulating themselves with what they think are useful spending tips. The low income forums are tested because it’s how people NEED to get by.

I will very occasionally glance at the Gunnerkrigg Court forum if I want to see how the fanbase is reacting to something or if there's something I'm missing but that's about it. And even the comic itself I'm not really checking regularly anymore anyway.

I've become a regular on the Gallifrey Base message boards, although more for their off-topic section then any Doctor Who discussion. They're honestly the only pop culture message board I know of that allows political topics, has a fairly robust discussion of them, and hasn't descended into a cesspool because of it. Although they can be pretty pessimistic at times.
I'll occasionally put in an appearance on SF Debris' message board if he puts up a video I'm interested in.
I used to be a regular on the Anime Superhero/Toonzone message boards, but I haven't really re-visited after they crashed last year.

I... don't really go to forums anymore.
Which highlights how much I like this place, really.

I spend a lot of time on Reddit and have accumulated 70000 karma in less than a year. I guess some people like what I say. I am a member of a dizzying array of tv show themed subreddits. Oddly enough, I have never bothered with r/squaredcircle due to the toxic tribalism.

I don't really. The only forum outside of this one I check in on at all is the old, dead Supernatural forum I ran like fifteen years ago

Outside of a few choice subreddits, this is the only forum I participate in anymore. Mostly /r/ffxiv

I mostly frequent Discord servers and sometimes Subreddit. However, the only forums I daily check (although I rarely participate) are Pro Wrestling Only and UK Fan Forums. I was into wrestling forums when it was a thing but by the time I came into that, early to mid-2010s, it was in it's decline.

The Technodrome forums...I mostly look in the comics sections for progress on all the "unofficially official" stuff and to promote my fan projects, I also stick to the TV/Movie section. I wouldn't really recommend the place though because it's littered with Alt.Right politicians and shock jock posters who have chased off more than their fair share of official TMNT staff over the years.
Rangerboard...used to have quite a bad reputation in the 2000s but all it's senior members that remain there have all grown up and become more responsible, diverse, and inclusive. They're also realists about the state of the Power Rangers franchise which is more than I can say for the YT comments sections on PR videos.
A few grumpier Doctor Who forums like the Anorak Zone and The Hive, largely for a good laugh at the doom and gloom over there and because a friend of mine writes some pretty good and entirely original audio fiction. I've been with Gallifrey Base for well over four years now too, sometimes get into fights, but otherwise a good, tolerant bunch

I follow some subreddits casually on games or rpg systems iplay like pathfinder and dnd. Although I love comics and discuss them, I've generally avoided them because I hate spoilers. However, I'm not really actively following any comics anymore, so I guess that's less of a concern these days. I keep forgetting there's a discord for everything now.

Aside from here, I use Reddit and on some occasions, the MyAnimeList forums.

I’ve been lurking on SpaceBattles for several years and I use Reddit for gaming because it’s usually more useful than GameFAQs these days. Otherwise, every other forum I used to hang out on is dead and empty.

I'm not an active member of any other board, the only time I end up on other boards is if I'm looking up information or how to stuff and end up on some random forum reading something from 2009

None. I used to have one more left out of the 20 or so I used to frequent in the mid 00s, but it closed a couple of years ago and is now a handful of fractured Discords instead.
I legit worry about what will happen if this place ever closes, honestly. I'm autistic af and I've been here in some capacity for nearly 20 years now. It's over half my life.

I'd say Reddit, Gamefaqs, Kungfucinema Forums and a tape trading forum as well.
