I am sure that most of you must have other interests as well as your interest in Rolex. What other forums are you members of - if at all? I will make a start: I am also a member of a boating forum as well as a classic vehicle forum* (but I have to say that out of the three I enjoy TRF the most!)

*I do not own a megayacht or a Ferrari Daytona although they would be nice...

frostie · 1 January 2008, 07:02 AM

Except from being a member in other watch forums including a german and a greek one i am also a member in the Mercedes-Benz forum and a gun forum.

Wolf · 1 January 2008, 07:03 AM

6speedonline.com

It's a car forum dedicated mostly to Porsche but has many sub-forums for all types of sports cars. The site also has active sub-forums for watches, wines, cigars, etc.

Very good question! Well, I'm a member of MacRumors, and a member of two veteran mail groups. I used to be an active member on some flight jacket forums but that was some time ago.

similar to www.horizonslimited.com but without the pretentiousness and with a really great section for photos.

If I wasn't a member of another forum, I wouldn't have met Lisa a few years ago.

Also, I met JJ somewhere else.

He brought me here. So blame him

I never knew they existed until I found TRF. Considering how this place has taken a hold on me I'm afraid to check into any others.

vh_bu98 · 1 January 2008, 10:35 AM

I probably visit TRF the most, but I also goto the following...

nikonians.org
dpreview.com
e46fanatics.com
alberni.ca

I use to visit the Palm forums, but that has been years ago.

SLRdude · 1 January 2008, 10:56 AM

I am the co-owner of another watch forum, so I spend most of my time there. (wristwatchforums.com)
I also lurk and occasionally post on WUS, TZ and Uncle AJ's forum.
Most of my time is spent on WWF (my forum), and TRF (here).

Downing · 1 January 2008, 11:17 AM

I used to participate in a scuba diving forum, but there was a lot of ego clashing going on there so I finally gave up on it. I don't think the forum was moderated and sometimes there would practically be death threats flying back and forth. Yikes!

I drop in on a couple of other non-Rolex watch forums from time to time. One is not very user friendly and only moderately active at best. The other one is friendlier but literally days can go by without a single new post, much less a new thread.

TRF's got it going on.

kcmo · 1 January 2008, 11:14 AM

Timezone too but I'm definitely on TRF more!

To add to my earlier post, everyone this forum is really nice. Many people on other forums I visit (mostly computer and photography related) are often crude and rude. It's so refreshing here!

Thank you everyone!

Gedanken · 1 January 2008, 11:53 AM

I hear ya, Lisa. I joined a Canon photography forum but apart from a couple of knowledgable guys who were generous enough to share their knowhow, the rest of the members were pretty closed to noobs. These days I browse a bit bit I don't post there anymore.

watchlady · 1 January 2008, 12:17 PM

The Leica forum on dpreview is ridiculous. Every other post is "Why did you spend $5000 on a camera and $ $3000 on a lens and your pictures are still crap?"
It's like someone coming here and saying "Well my $29 casio tells time too why did you spend $XXXXX thousand on a Rolex."

Yeah, some forums seem to have a "experts only" mentality and they end up discouraging new members.

Bama · 1 January 2008, 12:59 PM

I belong to two other forums:

1. Askandyaboutclothes.com
2. thefedoralounge.com

But I swear it doesn't mean anything to me and I'm thinking about TRF the whole time I'm doing it.

The Nikon and Canon section on DPReview is constantly full of bashing. It gets tedious going through the posts to find a thread that is actually useful.

Anyway, I am a member of another (German) watch forum, but I don't post much there. I also join two forums for pipe smokers and one for flashlights.

Lisa · 1 January 2008, 03:27 PM

I joined a Nissan forum just to try and troubleshoot the gremlins living in my car's electrical system, but I haven't even checked it in weeks. TRF is the one I'm totally hooked on. Never been on any others and have no interest in doing so!

CPTL · 2 January 2008, 02:04 AM

This is the only one. TRF meets all of life's (forum) needs.

I used to spend a lot of time on a prosecutor/crim law forum contained in a prosecutor resources website. I still check it occasionally, but I haven't posted there in nearly a year.

Joey_V · 2 January 2008, 04:15 AM

MartinLoganOwners.com - a forum for quite a few Martin Logan electrostatic speaker enthusiasts and audiophiles from around the world.

I also go to a bunch of other forums but none worth mentioning as above.
