I really like the FU forum. I pretty much only lurk there, but that's me all over.
It's supposed to be mostly for film, I guess, but they still manage oodles of good TV discussions, not all of them geeky. But! they've all just discovered Battlestar Galactica - fab - and their Dr Who thread has several posters that I kinda wish were on our Dr Who thread. Oh, and I always have their Big Brother thread open in another tab whenever the barbelith Big Brother thread is going, because the FU one is better for knowing what's going on in realtime. Without actually, y'know, buying a telly. The FU crowd all noisily coo and cluck and swear at Whatever Maxwell's Just Done, and then I come back here to see what Ganesh & co think. It's like wondering between different rooms in a pub. Different noise levels.
Oh, actually, look, they have a special 'realtime' thread too, for whoever's watching whatever whenever to just start up talking about it. That's a good idea, eh?
And. They have some really clever and funny regulars, their own never-lost-an-argument brain-in-a-tank poster, lots of sardonic + cool types, a pissy stickler for THE RULES, an enthusiastic youngster that all the wise heads say things like 'you remind me of a younger me' to, just one main troll, who's been hanging around for years and who everyone spots a mile off, and all the other GU talkboards seem to think that FU is sorta cliquey and elitist. It's great. |
