This is awesome! I'll be using it for sure.

Where'd you get your curated list of forums? Big search of running VBulletin instances? :)

that among others! a lot of manual work + some automated scraping (there's about ~3000 forums in the index today)

Love the site. Really great work with it. I had an idea for a similar site, but instead it would essentially be like Pinterest in which you indicate your interests/hobbies and it shows you forums related to those. There's dozens of small forums that I discovered off the 2nd/3rd/4th page of Google results that are super helpful - but hard to find.

How did you go about finding the ~3000 forums? That's my main hurdle with the idea.

Saw that best espresso machine example on the homepage was missing https://www.home-barista.com/

That's basically Mecca for us coffee geeks :-) so consider adding it.
