Ok so there's the SDMB and it has over the years spawned:
Domebo/Mellophant
Giraffeboards
the Snackpit
Nadsters
Unaboards
Phantom yokey
some livejournal SDMB groups

There's G'Dope, which is a board for Australian and New Zealand dopers. I used to check it out every now and then, but it's far too slow-moving for my tastes.
I think G'Dope has been absorbed by Nadsters but i could be incorrect.
Is Skip's Magic Board still in existence?
ETA: and there was that wee little board they set up during the Winter of our Missed Content. That's where Smashie came from. :smash:
G'Dope seems to be its own board. From what I could gather from this thread, it was absorbed into NADS for a while, but it has since resplit. I didn't know any of this, which just goes to show how long it's been since I've visited.Quote:

A couple you're missing:
Upside Down Message Board: http://umop.net/forum (looks like it's gone; it was online up until a few weeks ago, at least. It used some proprietary message board system, so old messages can't be imported into vBulletin.)
Bitchy Cunt Board: http://www.bitchycuntboard.com/
A couple I can't find the URLs of:
Captain Sock's Board
Pizza Boards (Christian Dopers)
Boards owned by Dopers, but not necessarily SDMB spinoffs:
Bad Astronomy and Universe Today: http://www.bautforum.com
Cyburbia: http://www.cyburbia.org/forums

Yes, he did.Quote:

That old house-fixer-upper vanity forum at the bottom of the Dope.
It's funny how quiet that chicago one is, considering a shitload of dopers are from that part of the world. Maybe Chitown ain't that interesting or there are more lively alternatives.
Ah, OK. That's one nickname I wasn't familiar with.Quote:

D'oh! I just assumed it would have been included in the OP. It's Opalcat's board. I think either that or Unaboard was the first SDMB spinoff.Quote:

There's one part of the SDMB universe that even I forget exists: alt.fan.cecil-adams on Usenet. Really, it's more like an alternate universe than part of the SDMB onmiverse. a.f.c-a is like a combination of GQ and IMHO, only there's almost no crossover between a.f.c-a posters and those on the message boards. The SDMB personalities and drama don't effect it. The catchphrases Dopers know are unknown there. Snark about a.f.c-a is non-existent. No boasting of IQs, penis sizes or children that read Don Quixote in the original Spanish when they were three years old. It all seems to work with no moderation and no rules, but it does get a good bit of spam. It's just ... weird.
Damn, I hadn't thought about buckeyes in a while.Quote:

Those were some good times.
Not sure if it counts - it isn't a message board, and I don't know if it is at all active or not - but there is a flickr group of SDMB members.
There's a couple of various Livejournal communities too.
I'm going to go find that post. Loved it!Quote:

I was in the "buckeye thread - I'd forgotten. This is hilarious to me.

Everyone: Fuck you Granny!
I'm just saying, Opal may deserve a pitting but there's gotta be more to it than her response to that thread.

My response: First: "buckeye" is NOTHING like wounded bleeding baby. The buckeye state, the buckeyes - what kind of mind automatically dismisses the common usage and thinks actual animal eyes?
Second:Anyone else would have said "thank you".
Third - nope - don't have a third and don't need to follow someone's rule.
As others have mentioned there are a lot of things known by names that someone or the other may find distasteful for their personal reasons.
If I asked for a dark cookie with vanilla cream, someone may suggest "oreo" without knowing that my uncle was considered an oreo by some in my family and it's never discussed. For me to lecture that person on why I don't use the term is just rude since the person was trying to help me find a cookie.

Sorry for the hijack, but this really cracks me up. Opal's minions were really arguing that she was right to be rude.
Where can I get me some of them minions? That way I can get a pass for all the asshole stuff I do.
