Online community for any (civilised) discussion.

A few months ago, I came across this particular forum. I don't remember how I got 'lost' there. To say the least, it turned out that getting 'lost' there wasn't something that I came to regret. Unlike other fora on the net, which centers on a particular topic, this one is sooooo much different. It allows any member to talk about any topic. To make things less confusing, they developed the ingenious concept of interests. Upon registering, you get to choose some topics that might interest you. At your home screen, discussions that fall in the category of your interests are shown, either by date, or by the discussion ratings (yep, you get to rate the discussions).

Of course, as in other fora, there are the occasional trolls and flamers, but apparently there are less of them here then in other fora. Maybe it's because the system allows you to rate not just the discussion, but every individual post. Thus, senseless discussions from trolls and flamers can be kept in the darkest corners of hell the forum, if enough people rate the discussion negatively.

You can sign up here.

Oh, almost forgot to mention, one added bonus is that besides being able to have a good (civilised) discussion online, you get paid for it too. No, it doesn't get you $100s a month, but that's not what we are looking for, here. Riiiiight? :D
