I was just wondering what other forums some of you visit on a regular basis or are members. I usually end up joining a forum to gain or increase my knowledge for a specific project I’m involved in. I end up staying and contributing when I can because I find the subject matter so interesting and throughly enjoy it. There’s no better place for QUALITY information than from those that live and breathe the subject. But I have also found that forums can sometimes end up being an expensive rabbit hole. There’s always going to be a better ___________ (fill in the blank).
Some of the forums which I’m currently a member and check-in daily besides VCF include…
Nissan Murano Forum (I’ve driven a Nissan Murano since 2009)
Home Barista and CoffeeGeek (OK, I’m one of those coffee snobs)
Pizzamaking.com Forum (I custom-built a propane-powered pizza oven with rotating stone that bakes a mean sub-60 sec. Neapolitan pizza)
Last year, I joined a roofing forum for a while when I was battling with my insurance company over a homeowner’s claim for hail damage. The forum members’ insight, information (and the fact they all hated insurance adjusters), enabled me to settle my claim for what it should have been, not for the fraction of it that the insurance company initially offered.
Sometimes, people use the same username on different forums (I do). One day someone with a username that I recognized from the pizza forum joined the Murano forum. Sure enough, we both drove Muranos and baked pizzas.
Anyway, just wondering about other members.
Take care!
Jim

My username is what I used to collect for years but ran out of room in my house. Like you Tais, my enthusiasm and collection is a secret unless someone walks into my house. There's no online forum for what I collect, so I'm left to fend for myself. Regarding ceiling fans, I'm more of a fan "affectionato" than a real collector, as my small "curated" collection is limited to what I can hang from the available ceiling space in my house. But… since joining this forum, I now have two fans sitting in the attic instead of one. I really can't bring myself to sell either of them at this time. Have I crossed the line? Take care! Jim

Jim I don’t think so. I’m anymore the same way. As a kid I was obsessed with fans and eventually got to the point where I keep the fans where they are and stopped having room for my collection. My collection now consists of actual sentimental fans for my life. I’d love to have a ton more but the problem is where do I put them it stinks just having them sit in there boxes. One of my biggest regrets with my house is I don’t have a basement where I could have even say a 4 or 6 fan display. Or a large detached building. I have a two car attached garage which who the heck can fit two cars in that is beyond me lol. I have two fans in there but it’s not a “shop” kind of garage. I also have two sheds but the ceilings are too low. Maybe one day because I would collect a lot further!
