Other Go Forums?

Post by MMaestro »

I've recently stumbled upon this site: http://www.101weiqi.com/

It's a chinese site for Go with features ranging from problems, to game analysis, and forums.
It got me wondering if there were other major hubs/forums for go information in other non-english languages. Anyone have any information?

There must be a lot, but I only look at a few. Here is my list:

English language:
- here (LifeIn19x19)
- go @ reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/baduk/ (active and full of good stuff)
- rec.games.go: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rec.games.go (empty, slow and full of cr*p)

Polish language:
- forum @ go.art.pl: http://go.art.pl/forum-go (slow and pretty useless)

German language:
- forum @ DGB: http://www.dgob.de/yabbse/index.php (pretty good stuff)

Short list. I suspect there must be plenty of other forums out there, especially in languages I do not read, so never bothered to dig up.

The egf has its own forum. Feels ignorable.

A lot of discussion I feel is on facebook. I look at the Swedish Go Federations fora and it is very quiet, but the facebook groups in Swedish are much more active.
