I know that one of the keys to success is knowledge and I have over the years gone to a lot of forums and either stayed with them or left them. These are the ones that I have stuck with for now. I hope that you find them as useful and helpful as I do.

The key to working in a forum or messageboard is to see what people are talking about, see the quality of the answers that are coming across and take note of these people with all of the knowledge and then when you have a question try to tag a situation and some info of your own to the question so that other people will learn from your question and be in a better position to answer as well.

And for god sakes do not push products at all hard on an internet marketing messageboard. We all get pitched enough and on a messageboard everyone is even more sensitive to this then in non internet marketing spots.

Here is my favorites list:

A kind of Web 2.0 of tops stories. I just poke around here once a day to see what is coming up
marktd: latest marketing news

Syndk8.net is a Blackhat community that you can learn from but at the same time some of the people are not at all tolerant of people with stupid questions, this makes it quite entertaining.
Syndik8

Joel Comm’s Adsense messageboard has a ton of info on Adsense and is the best around
AdsenseChat.com - Powered by vBulletin

Warrior Forum. Where they talk about making money. This is the second best place on the net for money making info. Also the Special Offers, refered to as WSO in the board are great content and have great sales copy to learn from.
The Warrior Forum - Main Warrior Discussion

Digital Point is the best place for info, products and anything to do with webmastering, selling, affiliates or anything to do with your internet business.
Webmaster Forum - Internet Marketing & Search Engine Forums

I have not been hanging out at Webmaster World Much lately but if you want to know what is going on with Google this is a great place and the people are amongst the most knowledgeable on the internet.
WebmasterWorld News and Discussion for the Web Professional

This is the most edgy board for internet marketing info. I have learned more here in the last year than anywhere else and people do not tend to push products, instead they will mock ebooks and anything that is not very effective.

WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum - Internet Marketing Webmaster SEO Forum - Powered by vBulletin

PlugIM is another one of those spots to find what is hot in internet marketing

Another Web 2.0 type social bookmarking site Sphinn has a lot of people following and is an influencer for new concepts and great blog posts are highlighted using the service.
Sphinn: News, Discussion Forums & Networking For Search & Internet Marketing Professionals

A new and very good Internet marketing forum with a board for each affiliate program and lots of answers to questions.
eWealth.com Internet Marketing Forum - Affiliate Forums

Revenue source is a great forum that i discovered a few weeks ago that has mounds of info and I have only scratched the surface. I was intrigued with all of the clickbank questions and answers that people had so I guess i will be moving this up my list as one of my real favorites soon enough
Affiliate Marketing & SEO Forums

I visit these sites once or twice a day and probably spend about 60 to 90 minutes total on them per day so I find I learn a lot. Also if I am looking for something in particular quite often Google will point me to one of these with the answer.

The only problem with every forum is that reading makes you feel like you are doing and in real life there is no substitute for learning from the actual doing of building sites and sales pages and learning from your own mistakes and tweaks.
