Japanese message boards

[Harold]

I'm looking for message boards which use Japanese as their main language. I'd like to find a "general" community to converse with and practice my Japanese at the same time. Sort of like 2ch, but a lot smaller. If anyone knows of one, please, do post!

Thanks.

There's the one's here...but they dont get used often. If you post something people will answer, though.

Yea. Not many people use it, too. If I reply to a topic, I'd like to see a good amount of other people's replies.

I was thinking maybe of a forum like this one, but US-geared. Like Japanese conversing about American topics.

Ahh, how could I overlook that.
I'm really not supposed to be on there (I'm not 18), but, hey.

I didn't know you had to be 18. You also have to be invited...

Yea. I already got an invite way back. The last year you can put on mixi for your DOB is 1989. The thing I'm concerned about, when it comes to mixi, is the slang and chat Japanese.
