The hub blog's not that busy itself, but the members' blogs are and we've become close friends in real life, as well. :-)

Without a doubt, the BEST online community EVER.

A semi-serious look at the news from around the web; JimZ is the lead provocateur, but has lots of help from both the left and the right. Be sure to read the Posting Rules before jumping in, though...

A great community left and right.

Street Prophets, the gentle blog of the Kos family, is inclusive, with steady, varied posting, ranging from poignent, whimisical, activist, encouragment and poltical.

That's easy. The Daily Kos community.
Nothing else even comes close--
Start with the main site, http://www.dailykos.com with over 110,000 users.
Then you have the spin offs and the other Kos sites,

I realize that the readers and commenters at my personal blog may not meet the nomination criteria for an online community -- *but* (there's always a but) -- they are, ultimately, the reason I blog.

Civil, intelligent, and (usually) rational, they are unique, I think, in the often-poisonous blogosphere. I'm pleased to take this opportunity to recognize them.

I would like to nominate Shakespeare's Sister. Simply put, it's my blog home away from home.

Some insiders, mostly opinion, always intelligent.
Music, TV, movies, sports, Nashville, industry jobs, hype/promotion and gig announcements.
Quotes from the site have been lifted in newspaper articles and daily news shows.
Most posters are citizens, but The Rope does have bold facers and execs.

Do other communities bring teh snark on a regularly hilarious basis?

Do other communities share info on the care and maintenance of purse-sized firearms?

Do other communities have feline commenters who are carrying on an intercontinental love affair?

Do other communities teach their trolls how to imbed links so that they can offer 'evidence' for their ludicrous claims?

Do other communities repeatedly offer said troll a 'guest blogging' gig?

Sadly, No!

The thread on Mary Worth is 118 pages at this point. That should tell you something. Also, the cartoon creators sometimes show up in the thread (well, mainly Ces, the writer for Sally Forth.)
