I find the Cinematik forums very sobering and mature.
There is no such thing as a mature tracker forum ... there might be some mature and intelligent people posting on some tracker forums, but in general tracker-forums are not mature, nor intelligent, nor populated with the brightest sheep.
I'm still looking for the first tracker-based-forum without the 'rate that ass' or other useless threads ... maybe somebody could point me to a forum like that, but just as in real life I think you have to just pick your friends and try to make the best of it, ignoring the mass of utterly useless and boring 12-year-old posters who still believe post-count means a shite.

KG forum has always been filled with interesting and mature discussions compared to the average tracker-based-forum.
whenever people agree with me, i always feel i must be wrong.
Most discussions and activity are not in tracker forums but Invite forums.Those are the places where staff and most of the members frequent. FST,TPS are the ones which stand out in that.
But since the discussion is about tracker forums,The forums of What.CD,Animebyt.es (activity is low but quality in certain subforums is high,downside will be that all the discussion will be anime related),karagarga,Merlin also has some quality topics and dicussions, Cinematik,BTN (activity level is high).In the club forums of fsc there are some very good threads as well.
Tranceroute is the best among EDM trackers. Forums out there are very active.A lot of discussions regarding releases,upcoming artists,trance gigs,
albums,EP's,radio shows etc
Definitely What's.
Some of you might regard them to be Canadalistic (yes.) but 'The Lounge' section is such a great place IMO.
Back after going through many ordeals of paying for my internet.
Clearly everyone has a different opinion of what makes a great forum, a great forum. For example, when I joined what's forums I noticed it was full of elitist, worthless egos, and could find nothing more. I made probably less than 10 posts, because it didn't matter what I said, someone came along and disagreed for the sake of disagreeing. Call that a mature forum, I call it a 12 year old with an inferiority complex.
Don't get me wrong. I can surely not convey this through a wall of a text on a forum, but I'm one of the most out-going/understanding/non-judgmental individuals you'd meet, and I can take a good beating in an argument and still respect the other party. I just don't enjoy the beating if the person arguing with me has no idea about what they're talking about.
If you were to ask me, I define maturity by the thinking capability, and reasoning capacity of individuals. Not by how many dead bodies they've seen or how many lives they've saved. If someone seems to have a solid rationale, can easily convey his flow of thought, in a pseudo well-mannered way, I will respect said individual. That's kind of the reason why I liked ScT forums. Sure, you could say they were full of trolls - but they were the good kind. Nobody who ever had a legitimate intelligent question was flamed. It was the people who had stupid questions that are answered in a dozen other threads that got that treatment, and while people might not agree with me, and I know they won't, I think that's the height of maturity. Teaching someone to teach themselves, rather than spoon feeding a moron to death.
Ellipses go here.
I'm wondering why noone mentioned ThePlace and TheVault... These 2 places are realy great, lots of interesting and intelligent people there.
