When I first got my car (7 years ago) I actively followed the Priuschat forum, but now I only use that to research car-related issues, like buying new tires or diagnosing a possible dying battery.

There's a local cycling forum for DC and Arlington which I tried out for a few weeks, but I found it to have a strong smug-bike-commuter tone, with people making fun of recreational cyclists and assuming that everyone who drives a car instead of cycling for transportation must be lazy and fat because there is no other possible reason why a person would not ride a bike to work. So I told them what I thought of them and left.

I've done research on some tech-specific forums, to diagnose problems with my smartphone and Kindle. But I've never followed anything like that regularly.

That's pretty much it for me.

I do think about some of the people who used to post here pretty regularly but haven't been around lately, especially those who have talked about problems they've had. I hope they're doing okay and just too busy or focused on other things to check in here anymore.
