Apple Forums

Good Evening.

Just wondering what the best UK based dedicated Mac forums are other than the main apple ones.

Having a browse on the tinternet has yielded very little results.

Thanks

I second the above site. Out of the very little dedicated mac sites i have come across, it has to be the best one.

http://forums.macnn.com is another. It's not as active as macrumours, but seems to have less 'STFU N00B!!' idiots and has the hardware forums split down by type, which is useful.

MacNN is a joke sometimes. A lot of the members on their are so far up their own arses its untrue (much like this place

).

Lol, crap answer, although correct

I'd rather have comments like that than:

Sped downlodder??? WTF??! use XXXX insted NO000))B!!

Which seems to be the general level of most forums I look at

Generally I prefer usenet to access technical forums. The fact that your average 16 yr old who needs to be spoonfed doesn't know about usenet/BBS is a plus, and the topics of most groups tend to be very specific (linux.samba for example). One I would recommend looking at for Mac users is uk.comp.sys.mac. Beware though, there are a few Usenet netiquette nazis in there

Hey,

The thinksecret ones are not too bad, although as someone said above, usenet is best for this kind of thing.
