What other ACS or Census data user groups or listservs do you use?

User community doesn't seem all that active compared to the number of ACS data users that must be out there? What other groups or listservs do folks here use?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your interest in the ACS Online Community. I can't speak to other options for user groups or listservs, but I will mention that there tend to be more user posts in the fall, around the time of the Census Bureau's ACS data releases. Also, certain discussion groups--such as ACS data for small geographic areas--are more popular than others.
We are going to be upgrading the ACS Online Community to a new platform over the next few months, which will create some new functionality and improve the user interface., so this may increase use.
-Mark

I am an advocate for the Open Data Stack Exchange (ODSE) site. There's a "US Census" tag which should help find relevant questions, whether you're looking for an answer or if you want to see if you can provide one:
opendata.stackexchange.com/.../us-census
The ODSE site isn't always as well suited for the conversational exchanges that happen here, but I th ink it's a better place to build up a publicly searchable archive of questions-and-answers about specific applications of ACS data. It would be great to see more people there!
