<p>I am curious to know whether most posters are here solely because of the board being a terrific college-related information source (and because of the witty posters who are here besides) or whether many posters are "chronic posters" elsewhere on the web as well.</p>
<p>Just on a chronic pain board. Again, it's information-specific.</p>
<p>None. This is the only one. Have surfed a few boards occaisionally when referred there, but I don't even lurk.</p>
<p>Track and field board and Jeopardy board, although my participation on both of those has gone way down since I discovered CC.</p>
<p>I visit a gifted children board, but it's not very active anymore. That's it. I started a new job and my free time has gone pffffffffffffffffffft. (That's what tuition payments will do to you.) But I won't give up CC just yet.</p>

<li>Wanted to know about what other parents & kids thought about our own kid's college.</li>
<li>Paying for college is very similiar to paying for retirement; Which the parents should now be thinking about but should have been thinking about when they started their first paying job. Which parents should have also been thinking about in that night of heated passion.</li>
</ol>
<p>I have on and off frequented a "Parents of College Students" board, and another board on the "Family and Home Network" (FAHN) that's for subscribers to a journal called "Welcome Home". I seem to come and go on all of them and try not to get TOO consumed! I lurk on this board more than I post, and have at times posted under a different user name (when I didn't mind letting my college student know who I am). :-)</p>
<p>None. One addiction is enough. :)</p>
<p>Anybody here ever use Abuzz (now defunct) from the New York Times? I was a heavy user there (under a different name) some refugees from Abuzz also went to able2know. I occasionally got good college advice on Abuzz too.</p>
<p>A friendly reminder to everyone to please continue to follow our terms of service by not refering to competing websites or urls in your responses.</p>
<p>I also frequent ballet boards since daughter has been a ballerina for 15 years now.</p>
<p>DoveofPeace - Oops....sorry!</p>
<p>Doveof Peace--the sites I mentioned are free-for-all information about anything sites. People ask any type of question under the sun. Does this count as "competing" with CC?
Very sorry if I broke a rule!</p>
<p>Everyone has done a wonderful job thus far in answering the question without violating our terms of service. My post was simply a reminder because it can be easy to violate TOS when answering this type of question. Providing urls for or naming specific websites that provide info similar to College Confidential would violate our TOS.</p>
<p>I've been an active member of a board for women writers going on ten years now. It's my only other "internet obsession"</p>
<p>Dyestat.com- track and field/cross country
letsrun.com</p>
<p>No other college boards.</p>
<p>I frequent a few cooking boards, for foodie types. On one we had a get-together in Seattle for 4 days with over 20 people from around the country and Canada with a really great blow-out 12 course dinner. Also chowhound for resto recco's.</p>
<p>Craigslist is an essential resource in SF for some years, and now in many other cities as well. I found this site from someone posting on the sparse education forum on craigslist.</p>
<p>I am also a member of the Poodle Support Group and PoodleAgility. Yes, I have a poodle (a standard poodle). She is my substitute child, according to my real children, who claim I am much nicer to her than I ever was to them. This is possible, since the dog is much easier to train than the child were. However, it is also true that I never fed my children dog food for dinner.</p>
<p>This board is way nicer than any other competing college info board; the other ones don't have monitors that actually pay attention. Thus, it's possible to have a conversation here.</p>
<p>No other boards. Just a Cc junkie :)</p>
<p>I joined this board quite recently. Have posted on homeschooling boards for years and belong to one writers' board, but I don't get there too often--mostly follow that through an email loop.</p>
<p>I wish I would have found this board when my FIRST son was looking into colleges, not when the last is almost done.</p>
