Regarding other forums, the www.gardenweb.com site is linked to another set of forums that I used to frequent a couple of years ago. http://forums.thathomesite.com/forums/ has forums for many, many topics, like parenting, hobbies, work, health, cars, pets, school...and just hanging out like you are in someone's kitchen (The Kitchen Table). People on the "kitchen table" forum chat about what would be called BS here... jokes, tv programs, whatever comes up. The forums, though, have a filter that will kick you out permanently, if your posting contains a keywork on the hit list. So, you can innocently post something like, "We went to see Damn Yankees last night", the obscenity filter would pick it up, and you would be permanently blocked from using the forum.
