are there any general topic within music fan forums
 

That are still being used on the internet?

Or any general forum that has a diverse age group of users?

Whassamaddaaa Non-Sonics not good enough for you? Elitist !!

iFace and MyBook fucked up the internet for everybody.

I've given up on my long-standing ban on that brand of social media as there's simply nothing else out there.

efestivals used to have a very wide range of users.
Crusties from the Peace Convoy, "hippies" from glastonbury, ravers from Glade, townfolks from Vfestival and rockers from Reading

haven't been on there for years as it was getting a bit dry but i pop back every now and then

why? what are you trying to sell?

A good time.

your suggestion make me think of trying, ePlaya, the online Burning Man community, but I'm not sure I want to risk hating Burning Man for it.

Thanks for your suggestion, though. It helps.

every forum i've ever read is slowing down a lot. the only semi busy is music related but it doesn't have a very diverse age group.

Terminal Boredom had some good non-music related banter on it. Haven't been there in ages though.

I occasionally visited ihatemusic and termbo when I still was somewhat interested in finding new music but these days I rarely bother with any music talk.

Music talk on internet forums got a little too overwhelming and pointless for me. Not that I ever contributed much of real interest to them, mind. It's back to the pre-2006 porkmarras days when I was more of a lurker and I did my own thing. I do like reading the Bang the Bore forum though, whenever I can. Some really interesting personalities on it.

http://fangsandarrows.com/ ? i seem to remember it being okay but never got on too much.

supposedly there is a entire internet underworld of forums just for spam! they are too good for us humans.
