Discussions on the internet come in three main forms. The
oldest format is the Usenet.
The Usenet has over 30000 discussion groups. To use
Usenet you need a separate program. XNews is a great
Usenet reader. Forums
are an integrated collection of related discussions
groups
and in my opinion the nicest option on the internet. Groups aka lists are
individual discussion groups. Yahoo Groups has the largest
collection of groups on the internet. Unfortunately finding
local
groups on a specific topic for a specific region can be difficult.
So my list of available Yahoo Groups is likely incomplete. Birds BirdForum Covers birds mostly but also covers most catagories in nature. Large amount of traffic, particularily from Europe. Plenty of other resources. Birder's World Community Less traffic than BirdForum but most participants are from USA or Canada.
