    Since we all praise The Bee I was just wondering if anyone's SO has a similar site *(not necessarily content-wise)*.

    My SO does!! 

    He spends quite a bit of time on Ultimate Metal Forums and gearslutz (both for music recording info).. he's a registered member but doesn't post... 

    I asked him the other day why he didn't post, and he just said, "There's just not anything I need to say."

    I could not do that here. Oh wow I would go so stir-crazy... I only lasted a few weeks of prowling the boards before actually joining and posted the very first day.

    Maybe we're more friendly about newcomers.

    It's kinda funny but I got my FI hooked on pinterest! He is pretty much addicted now. It started out with him just posting guy stuff like cars, motorcycles, humor, and DIY house projects but he now has a wedding board and has been pinning cute wedding ideas! He's too funny.

    @itshouldsnow:  

    Haha. Yeah my SO always makes fun of the people who don't know anything about recording or have terrible bands... I can hear him from across the house laughing histerically. At least he doesn't post for instances like that as I ooze a passion for tolerance.

    Normally he doesn't, but I guess since I'm blogging now he's super bored. :-P He's been posting on stack overflow a lot. It's a geeky site where he helps answer programming questions. You get "reputation" there too (or something, I don't completely understand it), so if you provide useful information and they find your answer to be the most helpful you get bumped up.

    Wow. That made no sense at all. Anyways... yes, yes he does. :-P

    YES YES YES!  He is always at the android forums.  He usually has at least a page open on his computer, he is always using the app/mobile website.  

     

    @theredhead:  My SO also loves Pinterest, but he thinks it is a "girl site" so he just uses my account.....for now.  I bet within a couple months he will have his own account :)

    http://ifanboy.com/

    It's a comic book site.

    Ifanboy is a podcast that I listen to and introduced him to.

    He joined the site and is on there every day, reviewing comics, talking about comics with other members, and just being a part of the community.

     

    They all talk on twitter now, which drives me a bit insane. He is on twitter all day. Evern at night, he's laying in bed talking to people on twitter. Sometimes I want to cuddle, and he holds me with one arm while the other hand is holding his phone as he responds to something someone wrote on twitter. It's kind of annoying.

    @Otaqueen:  I can relate to the phone in bed.  It can get annoying when we are cuddling and he has one arm on me, and the other on his forums.

    He doesn't go on any forums or anything, but he has an addiction to online cards. He sits around all night playing sometimes and I can't get him to come to bed.

    My FI spends a lot of his time on videogames, and he has a couple sites he likes but doesn't post as far as I know.

    He's an extremely curious guy so he asks me all the time about the hive, he finds the dinamic here intriguing: "How can you spend so much time talking to people you don't know and act like you do?"

    @hisgoosiegirl:  Of course we will be playing Sweet Caroline! It's on my must play list for the reception!! If I figure out his name, I'll PM you it. We have some mad connections. First you know one of Mr. D's friends in real life, and now you also go on the same sites as Mr. D. It's like 5 degrees of separation Iowa style! ;)

    Mine is addicted to hardforum.com which is for gamers and I think slickdeals.net (?) which is for great deals on everything. Before I go shopping, I ask him to look for me to make sure what I planned to buy is on sale first.

    He's on a music forum a good amount of time, though I forget which one. I'm pretty sure his screenname has something to do with Iggy Pop or the Stooges or something. He's a 70s/80s punk music junkie.

    Mine does!  It's about contracting (like carpentry, renovations, building things).  Total snoozefest, but he actually does get good advice and has learned things (just as I have on the Bee).

    My fiance is obsessed with reddit. We always joke that you can tell who was using the computer last, because the history is always a bunch of links from weddingbee (me) or reddit (him). To be fair, I think reddit has some pretty funny stuff, too.

    Not to the same extent, but he uses facebook and a few phliosophy forums where he likes to have debates with people, lol. I guess it fufills the same need, but I don't think he's on them as much as I'm on the bee.
