Well, as the thread title says really!
I often visit the Rolex Forums website and am quite sure I have seen one or two of you chaps their! Either that or someone else has your usernames!
Was a regular visitor and contributer at vintage golf forums too as I used to collect antique golf balls up until my mid 30s when I sold my whole collection off. Great memories of jumping in ponds as a youngster retrieving golfer's lost balls, cleaning them up and selling back to the golfers! That's where it all started. I became fascinated with the development of the golf ball - which, for any golfers out there - is what led to the development of the golf club, not the other way round as many assume!
Just wondered what other people's passions and hobbies are, or have been, aside from B&O?
All the best,Simon.
B&O products are V1-32, BS2, H95, E8 and an Essence remote.11-46 now replaced with Sony A90J 65”, Sony HT-A9, Sony UBP-X800M2 and Sony SRS-NS7.
Quite a few:

I am a total Honda Dax/CT70 guy since early '90s or so

My tread which I started back in 2008 still going strong but old school B&O.

Mostly the current state of Danish Yamaha FS1 mopeds which is somewhat interesting though I can't seem to ever want one again and the 2 I had in '90s were only a brief period. Besides I am not that interested in mopeds though but I have had around 16 so far.

The US Jackson forum
http://www.tapeheads.net/forums.php
Mostly for the interest in cassette tapes but it also contains hifi and a little B&O but not much. A US forum.
I had recognized you Anderz, back in the old - now archived - forum! Your white B&O gave you away.
I quite like the Danish forum but I must have it translated most of the time.
Tapeheads too, Audiokarma, UK Vintage Radio...

I don't spend much time on forums these days but I quite enjoy a little known motoring forum called car4play. Particularly the non motoring section for it's randomness.
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments.
I visit hifishark.com regularly. Not only for it's forum but actually primarily for the search engine searching relevant sites for preowned B&O.
Typically these days I search for
Beolab 9
Beolab 5
What.cd.
For everthing on cd!
I'm a tapeheads.net member as well (Sfwg46), but not particularly active there unless I have an issue with a non-B&O cassette deck. (I have a top Aiwa and 2 Naks.) Some of the members there reach the level of helpfulness we get from Martin here. Others can be just foul human beings at times.
I also look at boardgamegeek.com most days. Collecting vintage board games is a bit cheaper than collecting vintage (working) B&O.
There are other forums ?
My other digital reading is news or rumours related:
NY Times, Wall Street Journal, The Times, MacRumors, SlashDot, Ars Technica
BeoNut since '75
A forum for the make of Italian car I own . Very similar collection of those who buy new and those who are into used . And some who like used who don't like the new stuff yet!
Beo Century ,Beoplay V1, Beocenter 6, Ex-Beolit 12, Beotime , A8. Beolit 15 , Form 2i , Beolab 2000, Beoplay A3.Beosound 1

Just for intrest. What Aiwa?
blah-blah and photographs as needed
I am a lot on http://www.builditsolar.com/index.htm nowadays, nearly finished my solar hot water system, later to be extended for space heating, for the cold Mexican winters. Tapeheads very little, but will be more when I start rebuilding my BC 2000 RtoR. Hifi4all because I am Danish. And I have started a page on FB https://www.facebook.com/ambassadepoelser
But this one is my favorite
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.

Beosound Stage, Beovision 8-40, Beolit 20, Beosound Explore.
Woofers, tweeters, hooters.

AD-F880 that was modified by "perry" of Tapeheads following "A.N.T.'s" protocols.

Ah, those new ones... I had picture one of 70es model in my mind...
Having recently purchased one of these Coupe, I regularly visit here club
Italian design, Italian build, French mechanics - recipe for disaster! Have just spent 150% of what I paid for it getting it up to standard... Hopefully will get a couple of years enjoyable motoring out of it
Very helpful and friendly just like the other forum I visit every now and again.....
Cheers

When on audio related stuff: Hifi4all.dk, Tapeheads, Audiokarma (Where I stumble upon a couple of B&O lovers from time to time.)
I play the guitar and bass and use these: 4sound.dk, Harmonycentral, Fender's own guitar forum, Rig-talk (also studio related) and Gearslutz.
Film photography has recently started to become a pastime for me. the Analog Photographer Users Group (APUG.org) is my home. On scanning negatives and slides, I'm using the sister site called DPUG. There's a thread in the misc. section of the Bodybuilding.com forum with photographers sharing pictures, tips and general gear talk.
Vinyl records, cassettes, open reel, valve amplifiers and film photography.
