I check sci.op-research daily, but it seems to be fading slowly into the sunset. (Interestingly, some of the other "serious" USENET groups seem to be doing pretty well. For instance, sci.stat.math does a moderately brisk business.) ILOG has some forums (soon to be rebranded as IBM?) for math programming questions, though most of the traffic there is specific to CPLEX/OPL. |

I visit OR-exchange almost everyday. other than that I use Google, many of the my basic questions can be answered by Googling or visiting wikipedia. If I don't get my answers I typically go and talk to people or send them an email. I have never received valuable answers to technical OR questions by posting to a group (unless it was software related) PS. I think we also need some effort to clean up wikipedia's OR articles. Some of them are extremely inaccurate (see MRP, MRP II for example) |

I use the GLPK mailing list Ask people on Twitter. Or more usually post on my blog as a shout into the abyss that i hope someone will someday hear. |

You might try OR Crowd. :) (I set this up some weeks ago, but haven't done the work of publicizing it.) |

my work is mostly limited to optimization and software for optimization. sci.op-research is a very helpful mailing list. Software specific mailing lists like those for AMPL or COIN-OR are also very active. Other that those, its friends/colleagues, wikipedia and google. |
