    They all seem to have different personalities and vibes... I don't think we're allowed to link specific forums though.

    It’s a legitimate question, just don’t link to them.

    SMC and OWWM are the only two that I visit anymore.
    Please help support the Creek.

    Most of the ww'ing magazine have their own forum. Woodnet is another one I vary rarely visit.

    I kinda like woodworkingtalk. Especially for lots of knowledgeable folks in the area of wood drying/rough milling.

    I was referring more to the inevitable bashing of ___________. I don't even know who goes in the blank!

    Personally, I come here and go to my club's forum consistently. I check in on Woodnet, Family Woodworking, and OWWM from time to time. I really only participate in the last one, and then only when I'm working on an OWWM project. Otherwise its too dangerous--strange machinery ends up in my shop and I end up with more projects!

    But I do like OWWM, I use it for more "machine based" talk.

    I tend to be biased toward BT3Central, and Lumberjocks. woodworkingtalk is okay as well, but tends to go through dry spells...

    Here in North Carolina we have a great local forum called ncwoodworker. It just passed 5000 members, about 90% are based in NC or adjacent states. The Forestryforum is the best sawmill, kiln drying and logging forum.

    I used to really like the WoodWhisperer but he is going through a lot personally right now and doesn't seem to update as often.
