This is the Virtual Community Directory grouped by subject, from animals to writing. Thriving virtual communities - Internet sites where people use text, pictures or sounds to intertwine their lives - are vital and connected, with clear and distinct personalities and voices. Argument, support, debate, commiseration, excitement, and life electrify conversation. Virtual communities are more than places to exchange information - they are second homes, with sustained interaction and synergy.

Check out what else people are talking about in many different online communities, and if you know of the place to go to talk about tropical fish, or medieval poetry, or anything else that interests you, please take a few moments to tell us about where you go. We are looking for your suggestions of vibrant, thriving online locales. You can also view the directory by geographical affiliation, alphabetically and by format (newsgroup, mailing list, conferencing system, etc.). Dive in, check out the communities that we've visited, and tell us about other places where you find out from others what you really need to know and where you can find like minds.
