I am sorely tempted to reply already to a person's request for info in an area that I have had experience in. Maybe I can be a mostly lurker. XD
Found two, one appears to be dead and full of spam. But one seems good and I have memberships on a couple others I can begin visiting regularly.
Just enter "writing forums" in a Google search.
It's really too soon to tell. The problem with writing forums is that it all gets to be about people wanting you to critique their work, and then being defensive about your critiques. But I will try harder to play nice with others.
Day 9 is all about building your blog by participating in forums.
I have participated in a few Edutopia group forums that I joined.
I followed Edutopia closely, and was happy to see they started doing forum groups.
Instead of me bouncing all over into different educational forums, I rather stick to something reputable, build up my profile, and do it well.

What forums have you found to participate in?
In addition to a few forums I participate in and I also have joined several LinkedIn Groups. I found that the members of LinkedIn are a bit more responsive.

Using the categories section, I can go straigt to the questions about video games and start answering, leaving links to blog posts when relevant.

How have you found forums in your niche?
I already used the MyREINSpace forum before starting my blog just because I am very interested in the topic and find it to be a helpful local resource. I found the other forums based on my knowledge of local investor groups and the help of Google.

I setup my avatar and signatures on each and used a feedburner graphic to show my most recent blog headlines. Whenever I post I try to answer questions or help other users in some way. I enjoy providing advice to help other people get started investing in real estate or deal with problems I've encountered before so this comes natural to me.
