What is a good forum site?

[Jake]

I know that a lot of websites, based on just about anything, have a forum to go with it. It usually has a "general" section, but the vast majority of the forum is based around the theme of the parent site. I want to know if anyone knows of a stand-alone forum where I could talk to a coherent person about anything from pot to the wonders of ferrets.

Any ideas, anyone?

You'd be better off to just keep talking to yourself.
At least SOMEONE will understand.

Yeah I'm looking for a forum like that where you could ask just about anything and everything. I'm not looking for one to chat with someone else about who knows what but more for if I have questions about anything. I also would like a forum with a good amount of members on it for a wider knowledge base. I'll let you know if I find one.

I think there are many forums like that you should search and you w ill get many

You don't need a forum. It is much better to talk in real life.

Often times, we need to collaborate with others to make decisions. Email, blog, forums & wiki allow us to share information have asynchronous discussions. Conventional chat requires presence of participants. In vocal discussion over phone, the conversation is lost, only the decisions remain at the closure. Zoho Chat helps in filling this gap by enabling groups to collaborate & make decisions faster.
