Do any other hobbies have forums/message boards similar in quality to the PCGS Forums?

SanctionII

And the NGC Forums for that matter?

I assume that there are chat rooms and blogs, etc. catering to those who collect in other fields. How sophisticated or unsophisticated (compared to the PCGS and NGC Forums) are similar venues in other hobbies?

Many of the same people post at both forums, but if you are talking about funcionality and ease of use, CU forums has NGC beat hands down. I don't like their forum software at all.

Wasnt the question about other hobbies?

LanLord

Yes they do and even more so.

One of my hobbies is collecting, identifying and photographing mushrooms.

There are some truly awesome mushroom websites out there, with many subforums. Even an OPEN FORUM where people can talk about things other than the forums base topic.

My computer only goes to pcgs, powerstroke, turbo buick and ebay. You mean there is more than 4 places to go on the internet??

I would like to find a good gun site, the few i have looked at are more suited for.....

There are sites about motocross on the same level as CU.

I'm into 1955-57 Chevy's and yes, there are a few sites (Chevy Talk & Tri 5) that have forums that are comparable to this one.

I struggled to find a good one too without the drunken foolishness and absurd comments and law bending , this is the best iv'e come across.

There are a number of travel and running forums that are as good qualitywise as this one. Re travel, I go to some that I think are even better. Re my recent trip to Patagonia, several people who lived in cities / towns I was visiting literally walked me through what to see and where to stay.

AudioKarma is the best source I've found for audio/vintage stereo, etc.

One very famous forum for airplane enthusiasts and frequent travellers is FlyerTalk. The number of participants from all over the world is amazing.

ubercollector

I also like space related stuff and there are a few folks at collectSpace.com really know their stuff.

jsf

there are a number of reef aquarium keeping websites out there I used to frequent back in the mid-90's.

TR should start a reef tank and collect down here in so. tx. when he comes fishing. If you stick to the basics and don't overcrowd or overfeed, things should stay manageable.

corvette sites for the afflicted corvette collectors also

forums.corvetteforum.com

Garden forums are huge with all different collecting specialties represented.
Cactus and succulents forums in UK, Germany, Czech republic, Australia are great for photos and rare collections.
You can come back after a week and have not missed anything tho.

PBNation for paintball is a HUGE site - dwarfs this one.
