I feel the same way about Something Awful. With tens of thousands of active members, someone will post a thread about anything important. They've also beaten cable news and most web news to the punch on a lot of major stories, and every time there's an ongoing incident on something like a shooting spree, the Times Square bomb, the Gaza Flotilla Raid, all the UFO and meteor sightings in the past few years, there are people there giving information from the scene or nearby, putting up live feeds or just posting when they hear something, and it's all hours ahead of when the news outlets get it.
