Is there currently a larger english forum for indie/self-made PnP-RPG-rules?

I'm not talking about computer games, but Pen-and-Paper games like DnD and its followers.

Years ago there was "The Forge", but it closed down long ago and I don't know if it was replaced by another forum as I didn't follow the english scene that closely.
But now I'm considering whether to start my own forum or joining an existing one (if it does exist) about PnP-rules. Unfortunately most regular searches end up on forums focused on the professional big sellers, not forums where people develop their own rules.

So does anyone know of such forums and can give me a link for them?
I might still end up doing my own forum if nothing fits (it will be about a mature/Age 16 version of a Dark-Fantasy-Dystopia), but it would be better if there is an existing community to join.

You may have come across it in your search already, but I'll throw this link out there just in case:

https://forum.rpg.net/forum.php

So, I don't know much about this kind of thing. But hopefully it's worth taking a look at. :p

thanks for the links, but unfortunately that is not what I was looking for.
I was looking for a forum like this one, structured where people can post about game theory as well as their own projects, and work on them as well.

The reddit link is completely unsorted and doesn't support any structured work or search.

rpg.net is better, but it still is mostly focused on commercial games with only a few areas for self-made/indie project. And while there is a forum area that is intended for game design (and I will check that out), it is not exactly what I imagined. I might get something there, but if I don't find anything better I might indeed have to start my own forum for this.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
