ArsTechnica.com - A tech board. I learn a lot about up and coming technology, as well as current issues. There is a Mac forum, Linux Forum, a few different hardware forums, a busy Off Topic (called the Lounge).The community is mostly American, but there are a number of Canadians, Brits, Swedes, Aussies and so on.

Maybe you guys could say a wee bit about what your favourite board is all about or why it's your favourite.

My faves tend to be seasonal. In summer I like goldwingfacts.com 'cause I ride a Gold Wing motorcycle, in winter if I'm planning a cruise I like cruisecritic.com and I also frequent advisor.ca, an industry site for my own profession.

Guy has a great sense of humor - just stay out of the Fan Forums - they are not moderated (last time I looked anyways) and there is a lot of crap in there.

A great New York Jets board, and a even better football one

Why the attraction for skyscraperpage.com? I looked at it. Don't understand.

For me personally it's because I'm an urban buff. I like travelling, like hearing about infastructure and new and current large projects, and there's lots of interesting discussions about cities and urbanity, density, etc.

Plus I'm also interested in photography (landscape, people, buildings, street scenes) and there's a very good city photos section with pictures from places all around the world posted every day.

There's also a Western Canada section that keeps me up to date with all the new things going on in Edmonton and Calgary.
