So what other boards have people here been to and what are they like?
Here are the ones that I frequent.
No Answers in Genesis
Unmoderated (except that spam is removed). Trolls galore. But every once in a while, a decent conversation breaks out. We have just had a couple of good threads on the Second Law of Thermodynamics -- and I think that I did pretty well on those threads (I don't post as "Chiroptera" there).
The board will only hold so many messages at one time; once the quota has been reached, the oldest thread will "drop off" and disappear forever, so if anyone likes a particular post they need to save a copy of it. Also, there is very little formatting available unless the poster knows some HTML.

Theology Web has a forum dedicated to discussions of natural science. Actually, Theology Web is a pretty large internet message board with forums dedicated to all aspects of Christianity. It is moderated by evangelical Christians, and the main ones are creationist or biased toward creationism. Yet that hasn't prevented the natural sciences forum to be dominated by evolutionists.

I'm also a member of
Creation Talk and its sister board
Darwin Talk,
4forums, and
Internet Infidels, but I rarely check into those particular forums. EvC, NAiG, and T-Web are my main ones. (I also don't go by Chiroptera on any of those.)

I should also say that I have just signed up on jar's
Dreamcatcher ((as Chiroptera), but it's too early to see whether Evolution/Creationism will be the dominant subject of discussion.
