Here is the start of a list and review of some of the philosophy chat discussion Bulletin Board Systems on the Internet. Feel free to add to the list with philosophy discussion sites or comments.
Dissident Philosophy Forumhttp://dissidentphilosophy.lifediscussion.netThis is the
new DPF. The site your mom doesn't tell you about. Express your dissidence. As you can see, its pretty good. Register today!
Philosophy Forums http://forums.philosophyforums.com/This will probably be the first site that comes up if you are searching the 'net for philosophy discussion boards. You may not enjoy the regulated atmosphere. But philosophy is about learning, so give it a join!
ilovephilosophyhttp://ilovephilosophy.com/phpbb/index.phpThis may be the second place you'll find searching for
φ-sites. Everyone will love this BBS. There is a friendly moderating team and administration; and plenty of beer and good times to go around. Those new to philosophy will appreciate the casual approach to the awesome problems of life and existence. Join today!
iloveopinions http://iloveopinions.com/This site is I think a splinter group of ilovephilosophy. There are some very kind souls and brilliant thinkers here, and also some conspiracy-theorist cranks. Definitely worth registering!
Philosophy Nowhttp://forum.philosophynow.org/index.phpThis is a pretty good site. Has all the usual indexes you'd expect of a philosophy site. They seem to be compasionate and good hearted, wise and intelligent. There is a strong UK bias. Get involved now!
Philosophy Forumshttp://onlinephilosophyclub.com/forums/This is a popular name for philosophy sites -- understandably. Looks okay. Get involved!
Philosophy Forumhttp://www.philosophyforum.com/forum/No 's' like Philosophy Forums, but pretty much the same idea. Very tight and rule-oriented board. This might be a nice site for those with either a lot of patience or a great love of detail. 48 different indexes! Don't miss this one!
Philosophy Chat Forumhttp://www.philosophychatforum.com/This site comes up third on
Google, and I see
coberst in the index. There is a nice art index with some members taking the time to make interesting posts; though this forum is dedicated by-in-large to the science side of philosophy, so maybe look at a few science journals before posting. Join up!
ephilosopherhttp://www.ephilosopher.com/news.phpAlways wondered what this was about;
coberst is there, but I can't register? Can you?
Philospohy Discussionhttp://members2.boardhost.com/wbaker2/They spelt philospohy wrong. But looks interesting. Join!
