One, two, and one.

Unless we're counting porn, in which case it's one, two, and about fifty three, fifty four.

Just one, this one.

Okay, I do admit to lurking on Stormfront sometimes when I feel masochistic.

I lurked there for a little bit many years ago...

I remember checking out the Aryan Dating section because it was so incredibly hilarious. All these guys were complaining that white women weren't dating them because they were brainwashed by the Jews and mud races, when in fact no woman with more than ten sane brain cells wants to date some 300-pound beer-sodden slob covered with swastika tattoos.

Dormant accounts - Too many to count

Blogs/content aggregators I read (boingboing, arstechnica, Pitchforkmedia, MG's page, my.yahoo.com, news.google.com, etc)

Every few days - 2
Every few weeks/months - 4

Oh, and courtesy of boingboing, I bring you a link to a cool map of "Online communities". not intended to be literal or all encompassing.

I'm just going to list the places I visit that are either a forum or Asian related at least twice a week:

F44, Teamliquid, Wannabebig(it's a weightlifting forum so it's NOT what you're thinking), youtube(on there pretty much everyday), AngryAsianMan, and Sherdog.

I had to drop 2 Asian forums I visited with regularity because I wasn't feeling them anymore.
