What is the second most commonly used dinosaur toy collecting forum after this one?
Iv noticed after this forum there is no other toy collecting forum that would be as major as this one ,with only blog posts and individual dinosaur collectors sites...


CityRaptor

The Jptoys Forum comes to mind, but it is much smaller and less active.
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

The STS forum is a general toy animal forum, for both extinct and extant.

Forums have been slowly dying for the last 10 years at least and I'm really grateful this one is keeping on. Most other dinosaur figure communities I've found are on Facebook or Reddit, and they're really only useful to JP/JW fans. This is the only online community I'm aware of that has a fair amount of activity related to non-licensed prehistoric figures, which is part of why I like it (As Blaine mentioned, there's STS, but prehistoric content there is pretty sparse). I check in on threads for JW merch (official, like Mattel, or unofficial, like Nanmu) from time to time, but I like the DTF because 90% of the time I'm not interested in seeing that content and can just hit "mark as read," whereas if I'm on the DinoToys subreddit or any dinosaur group on Facebook it's basically impossible to avoid the JP firehose.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

I think avatar_Halichoeres @Halichoeres is right, they do seem to be on the decline.

There is one dedicated to the Aurora Prehistoric Scenes old model kits but new posts seem to be very sparse on there (I think they have a Facebook group now).

Some great pics on there though if you ever have some time to kill and don't mind browsing:
