Online Evangelion communities
AnimeNation Forums, the popular anime-centered forum community of www.animenation.com. Over the years, its "Evangelion" subforum has been a great place to talk Evangelion and was, during its Golden Age (possibly starting Summer 2003), arguably the best NGE community on the Internet. It saw the birth of the Commentary Project, and the vast amount of discussion that has been generated there (or by the associated people, in general) acts as the heart and foundation of everything FGC. The "good ol' days" appeared to be officially over towards the end of the prior August 2005, when commentator thewayneiac began to mourn the forum's death. While the forum is not actually dead, a lot of old favorites have either vanished, gone irregular, or become lurkers, but, at least, some of the vets are still around, and enough newbies flow in to keep things from going altogether stagnant.
