There's a lot of strange forums out there. Some of them are even still active. Let's find some.

This is a self-scored game and the points mean nothing, but you can have them if you want. If you think you should get points for other things, that's cool too. Maybe I will edit this OP and make them OFFICIAL RULES

1. Only forums not in any way related to SA.
2. If the forum has open registration (you could sign up right now if you wanted) -1 point
3. If the forum has posts in it from the last 15 days - 2 points
4. If the forum is about something truly weird or funny - 3 points
5. Congratulations, you found a forum! - 1 feel-good point

For example:

Vaccum cleaner forum:
http://www.abbysguide.com/vacuum/discussions/

Open Reg: 1 point
Forum has posts in it from last 15 days: 2 point
Not really that weird or funny: 0 points
Feel good - 1 point
Total: 4 points

SBG Sword Forum off-topic forum:
https://sbg-sword-forum.forums.net/board/65/sbg-forum-cafe

Open reg: 1 point
Forum has posts in it from last 15 days: 2 point
Weird or funny (I think a sticky in the off-topic sword forum entitled WARNING: Hostility Will NOT be Tolerated is funny. Also some of the user AVs are funny like ): 3 points
Feel good - 1 point
Total: 7 points

I have 11 points now.

Adult Babies forum...
https://www.adisc.org/forum/forumdisplay.php/22-Adult-Babies-amp-Littles

1) Not SA Related
2) I honestly didn't check for open reg, I rather not be on that forum.
3) Not only posts within last 15 days... a ton of posts within the last few hours!
4) Weird. Real Weird.
5) I am scared.

I'm not going to tell anyone else how to live their lives but for me the fun in life is in finding stuff for yourself and not being a jerk to other people.

I'm LOLing for real about that guy in full armor in what looks like a warehouse though. It's ok because he will never know.

at first glance conwaylife.com seems like a mild-mannered blog devoted to conway's game of life - a maths thing - but beyond that front lies a forums, and in those forums a 'sandbox', where users talk about what they get up to when they're not watching lights turn on and off.

other hot topics: 'what is "sesame oil"?', 'English translate to Chinese (language)", 你好,除夕快乐!', "THE TIME FRAME FOR POST... HOW TO CHANGE ???", "Conway life spaceships as real spaceships"

my mother was part of a Robert Smith fan forum calld dedicated2robert. seems the url has since been made to lead to a japanese site, so no points for me.

this does, however, mean that my earliest internet posts are now inaccessible to people that don't want to lurk through internet archives so I don't have to think about them anymore. :toot:

WRONG! You build a machine to LOB THEM GREAT DISTANCES!

You can use ALL SORTS OF MACHINES to lob your fruit! Or is it a vegetable? It's a gourd, and these good 'ol boys will do whatever it takes to prove to you that they are clean out of theirs!
