Ask HN: A good forum/site to hang around, ask questions, help others?

Posted by debasish on Saturday November 07, 2009 @12:13AM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am not a Twitter/Facebook guy, i prefer a forum to mingle with people, ask the doubts i have, or help others with what i know, and in general get to know people from different countries.

I used to frequent computer related forums back in study days. But now i would really like a forum/site with varied range of topics.

For example say i need to ask questions in varied topics like which monitor/tv to buy, info about income taxes, an affordable asian tourist destination, which new movie to watch, etc, you get the idea.

So is there really any big/popular site with lots of people from different countries [i have a hell lot of country specific questions to ask :)] with many different sub-categories/topics?

I use twitter for that, mostly do a small search to find a target user, based on his location and direct him the question, he often tweet the question to his followers and come back with an answer, otherwise, I don't know of anything like a global forum for that.
