I spend a lot of time on this semi-private forum for "neo pro" writers, Codex. There's a ton of honesty and really great tips about publishers, agents, indie-publishing, and anything else you might want to learn about.
Since Codex is semi-private, a lot of writers feel comfortable posting personal information about their struggles with life, career, agent, etc, with the guarantee that what is said on Codex stays on Codex. It's like a writer Reality TV show. I suspect most members post more personal stuff than what goes onto a public blog or social media. And yet it's a really helpful and friendly community. It's tightly moderated, so tension rarely gets out of hand. At any given time, there are probably only 40-50 active members posting.
