Just a random thought that popped into my head today. What other kinds of message boards other than TK have you been on? Were you a lurker, a reg, or something in-between?
I used to mostly lurk on 8thcivic.com. I started when I was looking for a new car, and it was a great way to learn about my Civic from other owners. I'll still go search it if I have a question, but I'm not on it much anymore.
Prior to that, I was a reg on a hair forum (can't remember where exactly anymore). I was a reg on the hair extensions board and a semi-reg on the hair color board. So while I am not a licensed stylist, if you ever have a question about either topic, I'm happy to share what I know.
I've been on other stuff all the way back to the old Prodigy (the internet service, not the band) boards back in 1993, but I can't remember anything in particular.
