Other than Team-BHP, which forums are you a fan of?

harry10 · 6th July 2020, 14:24

Reddit- Mostly for discussions on movies and TV series I watch. Also, Some of the threads do have interesting topics to read.

Hifivision and Techenclave- to stay updated on the latest tech.

Skyscrapercity is a good forum for news on infrastructure projects. It has dedicated sub forums for major cities in India. I view it frequently.

DigitalOne · 6th July 2020, 15:15

Quora used to be good. Now there are too many promoted posts, and too much politics. Difficult to find good content.

Skyscrapercity for Infrastructure related stuff, which I am big fan of. But of late too less fresh content. I guess many of the enthusiasts have left.

The only other forum where I have been a regular lurker is Ferrarichat.

As GTO has mentioned, it is a wonderful forum of actual supercar owners and has some really good content from across the globe.

So many of them.. in fact it is these numerous forum pages that I check on my browser tabs before any of the popular social media accounts. Made many friends from these forums and have been part of drives/meets [including audio meets].

************* - Automotive
diymobileaudio.com - ICE
diyaudio.com - DIY Audio
headfi.org - Portable Audio
hifivision.com - Home/DIY Audio
techenclave.com - mostly for great tech classified section

Advrider.com, best place for all things adventure motorcycle. Some of the ride reports are just mental.

ijeet · 6th July 2020, 15:39

Indiansforguns.com

The number one and best RKBA forum in INDIA.

In the past:
1. Rimweb.in for all things related to Reliance infocomm / rcomm and also tinkering with imported stuff
2. XDA-developers for android ROMs, devices, and all sort of modifications
3. Celltraderonline (now defunct) for importing cellphones and tablets from the USA
4. Desidime.com for e-commerce deals, it was an addiction which I paid dearly for

Current:
1. Reddit for the last five years or so, new interest is in the FIRE subreddits
2. Redcafe.net for around eight years, the best Manchester United forum there is
3. Occasionally Quora but only for investment topics. Overall its meh. Reddit is far better

I'm looking for forums on investment, personal finance, MBA / higher education and budget travelling.

ram.iyer95 · 6th July 2020, 15:59

At present I'm active only on Reddit, apart from our own forum. Was a regular on Quora before it turned into the mess that it currently is.

I was also very active on XDA Developers until a couple of years ago, when I owned some smartphones that had great third-party developer support. Used to actively participate in closed beta tests for custom ROM developers, provide bug reports, et al. I can't even recollect the number of times I soft-bricked my smartphones trying out flashing all kinds of stuff.

Eventually got bored of it and quit.

V.Narayan · 6th July 2020, 16:07

No others. Married to only one wife and one forum :-)

I write on Wikipedia occasionally on topics I believe I know a little about. Has fallen off last couple of years. Need to revive it up fully. Indian writers need a greater presence on Wikipedia.

I actually find social media a nuisance. So I stay away from WA groups for example with the exception of two alumni university groups.

envyravi · 6th July 2020, 16:20

Mouthshut.com used to be my favorite for reviews on various products, but now I mostly rely on unboxing and product reviews on you tube for my buying decisions.

psbali · 6th July 2020, 16:54

Have been a member from a long time and visit indianvideogamer.com on a daiy basis. Much more than teambhp. It has a nice community and members have formed close personal friendships.

Like the name says the forum is for gaming enthusiast.

momsonlydriver · 6th July 2020, 17:04

Reddit for all my dark secrets and a perfect place to watch debates and fights. Well there are not so known forums which I don't need to mention as it's not gonna be of much interest to anyone.

SmartCat · 6th July 2020, 17:19
