work in progress...
One of the best exemple is the very active CPCWiki forum.
Forums will be sorted by main country, yet many would have zones with different languages, google translation can help as well and quite often someone may answer in english anyway.
You may also include ancient discontinued forums for historical and educationnal purpose (just explain this).
what's the use ?
One of the best way for hobbyists to get together and share they passion are Forums.
Forums are often attached to a main website and while they are supposed to be a by-product of the main website, they often become the main go-to for the Website.
There may also be some new tendencies for chats attached to forums/websites, and major's social networks such as Facebook or Tweeter are often home to dedicated pages, serving as de-facto forums.
Forums are often place for debates or even a lot of scenes and dramas, resulting in peoples getting banned or leaving to go to other forums or even create/open their own Forum.
