Looking for Japanese language online forums

[Mahoujin Tsukai]

Can someone name me some major online Japanese forums? I mean ones as big as http://discuss.futuremark.com/forum/wwwthreads.pl , and are frequented by Japanese users.

Thanks.

Channel 2 (Ni Chaneru) is the largest bulletin board in Japan....possibly in the world.

But sucks b/c it's a BBS, not a forum... if you get what I mean. Threads go to storage soon after they become stale. Fine for throwing out some opinions but c'mon... it's like the first BBS software ever written.

Thanks, Ralian. I've been looking for a place like this for a while, as well as smaller more specific sites on Japanese culture or history if anyone knows of something on that order.
