I've learned a lot over at The Guild; really helped me get my poop in a group where building up a nice WWII collection is concerned.

Great community at Fields of Fire Reloaded, but I spend less time there than I used to 'cause of the black-hole of WWII gaming.
Television is rather a frightening business. But I get all the relaxation I want from my collection of model soldiers. P. Cushing

My favorite being Lead Adventure Forum, TMP maybe once a week (for only two minutes), so you're in the right place here. Another one that's interesting is The Guild but haven't visited it recently because it's more (probably whole) 20mm orientated.

I get my daily amount of the latest wargame news through the world wide web and the companies themselves when they submit news for my Wargame News and Terrain website. So if interested, you can find a linky in the footer of this post.  ;)

I don't prowl TMP as much as I used to but it is still a good site to ask why did general so and so do that and what toys are being released.
I belong to WD3, some Yahoo groups and The Wargames Website but spend most of my time here, I've never cared for Frothers.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

Here, of course, at least once a day, and frequently on my lunch hour or coffee break at work if I can manage it.

TMP briefly every other day or so, for the front page and about four of their sub-forums, and frankly out of old habit because the place has been around since the early Jurassic.

Reaper's forum about as often, because there's a couple of neat projects running and because it's a great group of people, very friendly.

The official Infinity forums more or less daily right now, because it's my most recent gaming interest.

A few other forums as and when I remember to check them.

Several mailing lists, though, via email, especially the TooFatLardies ML, which is full of great stuff and great people.

This is the only wargaming forum I follow anymore. It's cool, laid back, informative, useful and updates enough to keep me looking every day. I have no more useful advice than to stay here and make it a home.

TMP and Frothers have become a cult of personality and jumping each other's shark. If I could go back and delete all my old posts there I would disassociate my name from them completely.

In descending order of frequency of visits:

Loose Association of Wargamers
LAF
Pendraken
Baccus
Warlord
Dakka Dakka
Warseer

Banned from TMP, never been keen on Frothers so that is about it for me.

This esteemed forum, and the Very British Civil Forum are my main ports of call, but I also lurk on Frothers and Random Platypus, with an occasional dip into the Wargames Website.

My wargaming has been seriously paired back due to caring for a sick relative, I lurk here at LAF about once a week Frothers maybe once a fortnight maybe about the same with TWW, both for a quick scim. When things are back to normal it will be SD and LAF and a game and beer on Saturday nights... hooora!

I'm with cdm, for me I really would like to remove any trace of my time at tmp, it pains me to say it as I did enjoy it for quite a while then one day the straw and the camel collided,  have never looked back.

I'm active both on here and TMP, check both sites everyday. I also wander by the Frothers site now and then and sometimes I laugh till I cry at some of the posts on there. Some of them boys ought to take up comedy writing for a living.

These days I get a lot of my wargames infotainment from blogs and Youtube... but still visit LAF, Frothers and the Oldhammer forum frequently.
Won't go to TMP anymore but I'm not banned.

I'm fairly active on TMP, it just seems to have more historical content than other sites. Tried frothers, still figuring out the best way to navigate LAF.

Cheers
