Are there any vegetarian websites that have forums similar to Y!Answers?!

Don’t get me wrong, overall I enjoy this place.
But between:
1. People claiming vegetarians (people who don’t eat animals) can eat fish (animals),
-Seriously, some woman is about to have “yes you can eat fish” publicly voted as a best answer
2. Having many answers not even being vegetarians or knowledgeable of vegetarian lifestyles, and
3. Just plain ignorant/ mean people who have behinds where their heads should be intentionally being rude
It is sometimes hard to find the actual vegetarians and vegans who know what they are talking about and treat each other with kindness and respect.
So, is there such a place where I can read questions and comments and be reminded of the very large, happy community we are a part of?

I'm sorry. I really must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed today... I am grumpy (and apparently whiney). Now I just feel silly. I guess I needed to vent because I have no real reason to care about these people. They don’t actually affect my life.
Sheesh.
… My bad.

I can feel your pain! The complete lack of moderation on this site makes it somewhat tedious at times, though there are lots of good answers given by knowledgeable people. Hopefully the askers have the presence of mind to weed out the good from the bad answers.
My favorite forum is http://www.veggieboards.com. It is well moderated and they do not accept eating fish as part of vegetarianism. All vegetarians are welcome, as well as anyone considering making the switch and looking for support. There are some people in the bunch who manage to look for trouble (while still managing to stay within the rules) but they are easily ignored.

There are plenty of forums but keep in mind that when you bring a large group of people together, it will not always be a happy peaceful community. I was a part of a vegetarian forum you will see all kinds of people. Many are happy normal people but you will always get arguements and opinions you dont like. I left that forum because it got weird and religious!
Listed below are two other places I 'hang out' at. They aren't strictly speaking vegetarian forums but both places do NOT tolerate fools!
