Online Discussions

        The Usenet newsgroup alt.polyamory.

        If you're familiar with IRC, there's a polyamory channel there.

        There are also quite a few poly communities on the Livejournal blog system (one main one called Polyamory and several spin-offs, like Polymarriage, Mono-Poly and Poly_BDSM).

        There are also forums on a few poly-specific sites:
