Kirk Pearson has been maintaining a similar list for a long, long time:

Seems a shame that there are multiple sites trying to do the same thing.

@Trebuchet #1 & #2. There is, and always has been, a link to the Bad Astronomy and Universe Today Forum in the “blogroll” on the right side of this page (below the ad for “Death from the Skies”).

That said, Phil seems to have pretty-much personally abandoned that forum in favor of shinier objects, such as this blog.

OK, Phil, I’ve got to bring this up:

There’s another citizen science effort you may have heard of: It’s called CosmoQuest, and the reason I bring it up is that the BAUT forum (with BA standing for Bad Astronomy) has just been merged into the CosmoQuest forum. This came as a big surprise to the BAUT regulars, which in turn came as a big surprise to Pamela Gay, who runs CosmoQuest. She had assumed, quite reasonably, that you might have mentioned the change in your blog, or even have mentioned it on your own forum. The regular Bautizens had to explain to her, and to Fraser, I think, that you haven’t been seen on the forum in ages approaching geologic time! There doesn’t even seem to be a link to the forum from you blog!

Can you comment? Please?
