Hangouts

at least I prefer it that way.

This link requires explaining... first of all, the name isn't refering to heterosexuals. At least I don't think so. This is a grouping of clubs which are very much the same as the Yahoo clubs, former eGroups, Excite clubs, MSN community etc. based in the Netherlands, more clubs than I could even begin to list (I currently have in the neighborhood of 200 bookmarked) on nearly every topic imaginable, and probably a few you haven't considered yet. Most have very large galleries filled with pictures that you probably haven't seem twelve hundred times already.
Now the bad part... it's all in Dutch, and frankly that wasn't one of the more popular "foreign language study" choices in my school so you kind of have to stumble around and make some good educated guesses about where to click for what. They are set up very much like any of the clubs that you are more likely to have visited so educated guesses are pretty easy to come by and even with the language barrier - the user interface is far kinder and gentler than any of the other groups I'm familiar with.
Also, some of the sites don't load as fast as others, I don't know, maybe they're way in the back of the Host Computer's memory, but it can sometimes take a while for a gallery to appear while the computer is grinding away (and this coming from someone on Cable Modem.)
One more caution - like I said, there are a LOT of clubs for every interest (sexual and non - but since I can't read Dutch I'm not going to check out the "non-picture based" groups) and most have several HUGE galleries so it's very easy to spend days doing nothing but surfing these groups and still you'll only have scratched the surface. Of course offering tons upon tons of data all in one hub isn't exactly a negative thing, it can be daunting when you start to realize how much is there.
