Where do you hang out online?

If you are like many others, you have more than one hangout. Care to enlighten us? No links...cuz I don't think Matrix would appreciate it, but a description would suffice.

I hang out at 4 places. Here, 2 politically geared boards, 1 that is similar to this one but is extremely froo froo with pretty graphics, Google Chrome games, as well as Pinterest.

I don't do FB.

Where do you hang out?
 

Besides my job of hanging with my students in my online classrooms, I keep in touch with distant friends and relatives via FB. I also belong to a couple of financial advising forums.
 

A few conservative news sites and here; I dumped the forum site I used to participate in for the irreconcilable naivete of most participants.
 
This is my first experiance with any forum. My family set me up with FB, but I'm just not that social. Alyhough, I do get to see what they are up to. I just don't know my way around online well enough to find any other forum.:lost:
 
I belong to four forums at present, I have given three more the heave ho as I got very fed up with them. Whilst not perfect from my POV, this one isn't too bad.
 
Just this one on a social level, I gave up a UK one that that I had been a member of for 3 years. I also browse a UK wildlife one because I'm passionate about wildlife.
 
I'm hooked on a rather vicious drag racing forum called the YellowBullet, mainly their political forum. They have been sponsoring a really great series in Maryland at Cecil County dragway called, appropriately, the YellowBullet Nationals. It's one of the few forums I've ever seen where it is really no holds barred. Be forewarned if you visit, it is definitely adult and not work safe.

The rest of my time online is divided among this site, SnipersHide, Maryland Shooters, DIY forum, and 43forum for photography news related to micro four thirds, oh, and a big photomacrography forum.
 
facebook. one of the ships i served on has a page there.
3 political forums, 3 WW2 forums. but i spend more time here and less on politics
software. im always looking for new gadgets
 
I belong to quite a few different forums by invitation.
Many folks still like to hear tales from years gone by, especially about WW2.
YES I am that old for anyone reading this who does not know me and its been a fantastic time since my website was first put on the net because I have met many lovely folk in cyberland through it.

I actually saw that one yesterday-but not on Pinterest,it was on FB. A lot of women were offended by it and the comments were getting pretty nasty. As for me,eh,no big deal. I get more bothered by the constant F-bombs and other stuff that`s really not funny.
 
Was on Comcast forum until it closed, and now on a friends forum, like it here on this forum and visit but not often another forum and Facebook.

Well, I don't know where you were looking but saying Pinterest is represented by that pic is like saying the whole internet is like porn.

My collection at Pinterest has beautiful sceneries, animals, gemstones, etc.

I saw all that beautiful sceneries, animals, gemstones too and thought this is pretty good till I came to that picture.
 
I was on another forum for 10 years, but some posters started getting mean and nasty. I closed my account about two years ago.

On another forum for seven years until too many posters got mean and nasty, too. I closed my account a year ago.

Mind you, the posters weren't mean and nasty to me...except once. I knew that after that one time, it would only get worse and left.

From time to time I lurk on them both and sad to say, they've gotten even meaner and nastier.

I like SF. This one is older people with whom I have more in common, even the ones who are 20+ years younger:) Thanks for being members SF! It's nice to have somewhere to go and people to "talk" with.
 
Georgia, I'm with you, SF has been good for me too. I do love my hubby, but he is 71, and slowing down, and he's always been quite man. I can't get out much, so other than Michael, you peeps are it for me. So thank you for being here. :wave:
 
I check several sites daily and sometimes don't stay long before I'm off to the next. I stop by here, Facebook, chowhound, and check the news.
I spend more time on escape game sites. I love those puzzles.
I often watch movies on my computer.
Occasionally I like to look at the latest funny GIF's people have uploaded.
I look at a site for crafters.
When I'm bored and can't find anything interesting to look at, I use my StumbleUpon search engine.
I really like StumbleUpon. It's free. When you first get it you spend some time putting in your interests.
I have found a whole would of websites I enjoy, that I never would have found on my own.
It's not intrusive. There is a little stumble button on my toolbar. If I want to view something new I click that Stumble button & a web page opens.
I just keep clicking stumble till I'm tired of doing that. Then I can go back to using Google.

Thanks a lot Lois for posting about the StumbleUpon search engine. Sounds really interesting, and going to check it out. :)
 
My home board every day. Then there is one pretty busy political board that I am quite active at and several HUGE boards maybe once daily *I subscribe to threads and follow the posts, but rarely post again*, Facebook and Pinterest. I quite like one of the busy boards, it's based on personalities and which generation you fall into, but it really is huge and a bit overwhelming.
