Do you participate in any online forums? Which ones and why? How is that different than your experience on Fluther?

I realize that Fluther is mostly about questions and answers. But since it also has discussions and chat, I’m wondering why others out there would participate on Fluther rather than other forums (message boards) that are out there.

I’m just curious.

I personally like a site like this because it makes it easier to find interesting questions to answer or topics to discuss. I usually find message boards very difficult to decipher and navigate.
