Thinking about this a bit longer: this is in a way a bit like saying 'you built a computer without knowing about hacker news?'. I don't particularly care about fora other than HN (and Twitter, but that's far more general than HN), I just like to tinker with stuff and that's a different thing every other week. I'm sure there is a piano forum, a lego forum, a forum for insomniacs and so on. But I'm not all that interested in those fora, I'll find my own way and when I get really stuck then I may go and see if there is something that can get me unstuck and if that's some forum somewhere I'll read it - likely without even noticing the domain - make some notes and move on again. I really don't need more sites that I have to visit regularly to keep up on some subject. I'm probably a-typical in that way but I have three or four sites that I use regularly and the rest is on an as-needed basis as the answer to a search query.
