Not a lot anymore, I admit. I don’t do much social media either (though I have active accounts and regularly stop by Facebook, Instragram, X/Twitter, but more for information and reading, less with active participation.
I was active in the ROON forum when I tested Roon for three months and put it through its paces, and found the forum to be very active, with good discussions about classical and even film music as well. (I “met” Neil S. Bulk there, so he’s over at the Roon forum as well.)
But since I have decided that — while I really like Roon — it’s much too expensive for what it does for me, I have not prolonged my subscription, so I’m not all that involved there anymore. Same with a HiFi Forum in Germany.
I used to be active 25-30 years ago in newsgroups such as rec.music.movies and rec.music.classical, but those are all history.

I also have to admit there are few current film composers I have really “latched on” to, the way I did with Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Ennio Morricone, so there are fewer “current” things to discuss for me. I still like Howard Shore and am always interested what he does…

Also, my time is limited, and usually I just prefer listening to music instead of writing about it… silly me. 🙂 (Though I still enjoy the exchange with the people. BTW, was nice seeing you in Lukas’ Zoom chat, Graham. Though I don’t at all subscribe to the “fewer choices are better” theory.)

So not a lot of other forums.
