welcome to internet hell
Here you will learn how to find various online communities that you can waste your time lurking, shitposting, and getting banned from. Be warned, it is common knowledge that all forum websites that aren't this one are complete shit. You will be banned for posting anything, the moderator will leave an annoying ban message, and then some post count whore will proceed to dunk on your thread before it is deleted. If you somehow find a website that you believe is better than this one, you should know that you are wrong, and you should also leave it alone and not shit it up because quality message boards are a dying breed.

This website ranks forums "based on the number of posts, and collect information such as members, topics, posts, forum software and the category of the forum." Unfortunately it seems to have been fucked up with spam over the years, but it still mostly works. A mix of relatively well-known sites along with some obscure and niche, but still active sites.

Curated Lists:
This is a list of large forums running XenForo software.

The lists in the next few posts are no longer being updated but feel free to add your site to the thread.

The following key denotes the original software:

Google Dorking:
Google dorking is a real fun activity which involves using search engines in the way that they were originally fucking intended for. Apparently, it has a "script kiddie" reputation because it is trivial to find exposed SQL databases and admin panels on Google with the advanced search operators. You can very easily find online communities using search queries that look for specific strings that are common among different forum software.

Xenforo:
Xenforo is objectively the best forum software, and every website that uses it is infinitely more comfy than any other message board. It is a very bloated and slow piece of shit but that doesn't matter because I can flip your fucking postbit upside down, so basically shut the fuck up libtard. Here's a big list of shit you can use to find boards which use Xenforo.

Xenforo 1.x.x
intext:"Forum software by XenForo™" -site:xenforo.com
Xenforo 2.x.x
intext:"Community platform by XenForo® ©" -site:xenforo.com

Licenced Xenforo board owners have the option of removing the copyright text from the footer for 300 fucking dollars, but this is usually not an issue. Board owners that dont give a shit about Xenforo's licence agreement will usually opt to put .p-footer-copyright {display: none;} in their extra.less in order to remove the copyright, since the software only looks for modifications to the copyright text and the PAGE_CONTAINER template. This means that the copyright text is still visible to search engines, as it is never actually removed from the HTML.

Dirty script kiddie shit (put these shits in your URLs):

/install/index.php?install/
/admin.php

vBulletin
vBulletin is a popular forum software suite known for being an insecure mess. If you have ever had an account on a vBulletin site, those account credentials are public information.
I won't bother listing every single one of these, you can add version numbers to the search query yourself

intext:"Powered by vBulletin®"
intext:"Powered by vBulletin® Version 5.6.6"
intext:"Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.8.9 Beta 4"

Invision Community (IPS) / Invision Power Board (IPB)
I don't know anything about this shit. Seems to be popular among forum admins who desperately want to milk every last penny out of their users. This is probably because IPS is expensive as fuck.
Looks like the software is supposed to be targeted towards gaming communities, but it runs on some real sketchy websites, the most infamous of those being the Onision forums.

intext:"Powered by Invision Community" -site:invisioncommunity.com
intext:"Powered by Invision Power Board"

phpBB
phpBB is free and open source forum software that used to be quite popular. Nowadays it looks very dated, but thats not too much of a downside in my eyes, it didn't stop me from using it for a year. Looks like complete shit on mobile devices. Some active sites still use it to this day.
