I once developed a temporary psychiatric condition. "Chronic Forum Dysphoria" happens when you spend too much time in forums and find yourself more irritated than pleased at each log-off. It took thousands of dollars, a good wife and a few wonderful dogs to get me through it. I thought I might have to go to Florida for treatment. That was a long, long time ago.
Seriously, I used to hit a lot of hunting forums. I won't name them because I mostly don't go to any of them now. Keyboard cowboys, thin-skinned dudes, little tyrants and big bozos. Then there are ego-driven people who go to get admired, validated and stroked. Many forums are almost a sporting endeavor for guys who like to run wfo through a no-wake zone...trying to agitate the campground if you will. Of course I sound extremely cynical and curmudgeonly...but I'm not. I still believe in St Valentine's Day and think everyone has a pink heart somewhere. I really do liken most forums to junk food: too much isn't healthy for you. I have never been on Facebook either...so I'm frankly not prone to share my life and thoughts online.
I drop in on a few different forums to read now, but basically don't contribute to threads. I generally avoid online politics, religion and ethics as topics. I don't have a favorite outdoor forum, but I at least do read and occasionally contribute to Rokslide. There's no point naming the half-dozen I used to support.
Oh yeah. I do go to the Harley-Davidson forums sometimes. Riding is a big passion for my wife and myself. I probably won't ever spend much time on that forum either because....as you can guess...Harley people are not timid, and some of them believe the guy with the loudest pipes wins.
