Share 'How many .nings/forums are you a member of?'

Personally I have started to lose count of the forums/nings i have been invited to, do you think they are getting out of hand? Is the reason for so many because they are easy to use and make people feel like they have their very own forum or is it because SLs group chat never works? Isn't the whole point of SL that its like a 3D forum for everyone? If so then why join these out of world forums? J…
