| Christian Forums | Christian Forums is the most active Christian discussion board on the Internet. It was created by Erwin Loh, an Australian doctor and lawyer on November 19, 2001. On February 5, 2002, The Kings Tavern (created by Ryan Swift aka "Josephus" in 1998) merged with Christian Forums to form the largest Christian message board community on the internet. The new Christian Forums was re-launched to promote "the unity of all Christians as one body". As of July 2005, it has over 118,000 registered users, and serves members from almost every country in the world. It also has over 100 administrators and moderators who are divided into staff teams named after the fruit of the Spirit of Galatians 5:22-23. The forum's motto is "Uniting All Christians As One Body". (references) | ||
| Find A Grave Forums | Find A Grave Forums is a message board for contributors to the main Find A Grave website. (references) | ||
| Gaming Age Forums | While GAF is a typical vBulletin forum in structure, in practice is serves as a place to follow and discuss video gaming news. News is generally mentioned shortly after the news breaks, usually in the form of a link to a news site, be it gaming news or mainstream news. (Indeed, it's a mark of some prestige to be the first person to post a breaking story.) Part of this focus on news is a relatively greater focus on the game industry rather than simply on the merits of individual games; frequent topics of discussion include the latest game sales numbers in North America or Japan, or the latest change in employment for a notable game developer, as well as the typical gaming forum discussion of the individual merits of specific games or consoles. (references) | ||
