I've been looking for some Delphi forums too, and these have proven to be worth checking out :
http://forums.about.com (great site with a very efficient forum list)
http://www.tek-tips.com (lots of specialized forums)
http://www.delphipages.com
http://205.158.230.147/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi
http://www.delphiforum.com/
These are only a small part of all forum sites I've visited, but most of them are updated less frequently. Hope this helps...
thanks i'll have a look
i had a look at google groups, their search facility is pretty good
