Or do you just stick to this one?
I'm Catro on here, and Beatles Bible and Beatles Forum and Catro Gainsbourg on Beatles Links.
Nice to meet you on Here, There and Everywhere!

It's not 100% Beatles, but the Fabs are taken seriously there. There is huge debate thread going on right now about the 1987 vs. the 2009 CDs among other things.
I have the same user name there.
-
No I don't..
Besides this I go on a football forum
Im a fan of Manchester City since I was 12
-
This is my one and only.
-
I'm a one board kinda guy
-
Bootlegzone is my "home board".
I used to go to the 910 but am only lurking now since they took away the interesting threads into a subscribers-only-section.
I am mostly lurking here but have also posted a little bit.
I only recently browsed Beatlelinks again, but might not even have posted there yet.
The reopened Beatles Day-by-Day and the SoloBeatlesPhotoboards get regular visits and some posts from me.
I also used to be on the german SFF-forum, but I think it closed (and reopened?).
The first "forum" I went to was probably the Beatles Rumour Mill, long gone.
Hmmm.... any others I forgot?

This is the only Beatles forum I visit. I was thrilled to find a "Beatles" section on a Twilight Zone forum, but the gratuitous political bashing in other sections of the forum eventually led me to abandon it.
Ironically, I have had some Beatle–other forum crossover run-ins. I used a pic of John as my avatar on a religion forum and got immediately jumped on for his "bigger than Jesus" comment. ("Do you know where his soul is?" Sheesh!) Then someone on a Titanic forum criticized me because I added a tag line with lyrics from "Not a Second Time." Apparently that wasn't one of their better songs, so it wasn't appropriate for quoting. (Again, sheesh!) Ocean liner forums are notoriously snobby anyway; after spending about a decade on them I finally gave them up, and I can't honestly say I miss them.
This forum is great. The members are so knowledgeable, AND they have a sense of humor. I was beginning to think that combination no longer existed!

The reopened Beatles Day-by-Day
Ken Wood, I've been wondering about that site. I notice that since they reopened there aren't a lot of pictures there. I hope it's just taking a while to get everything back on and that they didn't lose everything. They had (hopefully have) an amazing collection. I love the way it's organized now.

In fact there are three similar boards and all three are a bit like one-man-jobs.
Maybe Day-by-Day is the least "complete" (as it is in progress of rebuilding itself while trying to adhere to a certain format, which seems to be to find the photos in good available quality and present them in a screen-spanning size.)
Here are the three and it`s currently most active contributors (for this section and according to my perception):
The Beatles Day By Day (http://www.bootlegzone.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=87) as a subforum of Bootlegzone. vitaly
Beatles Day by Day (http://beatlesdaybyday.freeforums.org/index.php). wizz
The Beatles Years (http://solobeatlesphotosforum.freeforums.org/the-beatles-years-f937.html) as a subforum of Solo Beatles photo Forum. GLCompany
Anybody knowing any others?

I go to Al's forum sometimes -

This is my one and only.
Me too! I'm on a couple of Warbird and ww2 forums and I only lurk with an occasional comment or two! I find most forums other than this one full of nasty elitists who seem to take offense at just about everything except they're own opinions.
I find myself considering most people on this board my friends and look forward to see what's going on with them every day! Rock On!!!

I've found that quite often when looking at boards. Someone sets themselves up as the Queen Bee and harangues anyone with differing opinions. Painful.
You also have that weird species of faux fans. They claim to be a fan of whatever it is the board is dedicated to but then dumps on the subject at every opportunity. Like if a member of this board declared that every song of the week sucked.
This board seems very free of both of those types of internet psychopaths. It's almost like contributors to this board genuinely just want to have friendly discussion about the Beatles and related subjects. Amazing.
-
I used to go on others but I found they were very much the same so I stopped. I only go on here and Paul McCartney's official forum
-
Would have been a cool poll topic 8)
I used to go to other ones but not anymore. DMs is my one and only.

I just love mixing! Especially different boards and people from different boards! I would be on a lot more boards if I had enough time but I have to try to keep it together somehow, so while lurking here, there and everywhere I try to stick to one for posting.
Great pic - didn`t know they made kitchen tools. Only stereos.

Kind words indeed! Thank you, Moog.
This is the only Beatles board I belong to.

Welcome to this forum IanIachimoe! That's a great name. Paul would be pleased that you've been paying such close attention. :)
-
Thanks life. It's tough finding people to talk Beatles with. I'm sure my wife is sick of hearing it :)
& there is some great reading in this forum!! Looking forward to it.
-
Yeah, welcome aboard Ian! Stick around for a while, your marriage will improve. ;)

I understand exactly what you mean. After my brother passed away I really didn't have anyone that I could talk to about The Beatles. Being here helps and I have learned so much!

Bootlegzone is my "home board".
Are you the admin over there?

Yeah, one of them. There are several admins and mods.

I saw a Ken Wood passing by in the BBC Archives thread and realised it was probably you. Lord Reith has brought back the old days on the forum over there!
Like you do here, I do there. *shake hands*
-
Just like it should be, right? One big happy Beatles community roaming different forums, crossing over! cheer1

I haven'tfor a long time. From 1992 until the late 90s I was a regular on the newsgroup forum rec.music.beatles.
