      Hi all!
      I've been on this page for a while, and some more time in Spiceworks. Thanks to Spiceworks I found this site.
      I'm not very active in publishing or responding, but I've learned a lot from looking at the threads of both sites and would like to know if there are other pages like these for the IT pros.

        None that are as good, that's for sure! 🙂

          ServerFault is one. We were just talking this morning about how it is not all that good. But it has its merits, for sure.

            There is Reddit, but it is awful.

              oh man - don't temp that fate - I don't see how anyone finds anything of value over there.

                    It's useful to know how awful some products are.

                      Well sometimes you may get lucky and someone who is actually not ignorant of the subject of the question might find it and reply.

                        Historically, ServerFault really pioneered the space for having an online IT site that had value (ExpertSexchange was older, but useless.) Before SF the world was basically email lists that got published, it was awful.

                        Spiceworks was the first real IT community where it was about discource, not Q&A. But they still didn't go all the way to discourse and kept Q&A as part of their function and were focused on their own product to some degree.

                        ML is, AFAIK, the first fully vendor neutral, discource focused IT peer community. When it was created, none other was known to exist.

                          Yeah, I haven't found another site that's as useful as these two. For now, I'm gonna keep hanging around, learning from you guys.
                          Thanks.

                              I hope all those procedures are done by experts....

                                      Reddit depends HEAVILY on the subreddit. /r/sysadmin is a hit or miss (too many people from too many different size shops and experiance levels there). /r/storage has a few smart guys (NIMSO and what not) that I've had some good conversations with. /r/VMware outside of the VMware Community forums is a good place to get a question bounced off a few VCDX's.

                                      TalesFromTechSupport is fairly hilarious somedays (again, hit or miss).

                                        I honestly spend more time on Slack these days than forums.

                                            All mine are private 😕

                                            My company's internal slack is pretty interesting (20K employee's tons of whom are software engineers). It's how my remote team organizes things. The Veeam one is good (Vanguards and Veeam Certified people), the vExpert one is amazing (like 400 smart infrastructure people who between them know just about everything you would want to know about any topic). Part of what I like about Slack Teams and Subreddits is they have purposes and some degree of focus.
