Macrumors is one of the best community forums I have come across out there in any subject area. It has a large enough member base so that there is always someone around 24/7, and it is filled with friendly people who are both knowledgeable and kind to newbees. Try hanging around some of the Linux forums... they can be pretty ruthless with new people... goes with the territory I suppose. :cool:

Generally most mac owners have obviously thought a lot about their purchase and want to share that enthusiasm with others which is why I think the board is so good.

Not to be presumptuous about the people, but often Mac people are just friendlier than Linux people ^.^

But there are certainly many exceptions, in both ways!
 
I am addicted to MacRumors. I lurked for about 10 seconds before signing up as a user. I hope to be here for a long time. :D
