I'm not really sure what is meant by "linguistic exchange fora". I occasionally read or post in FB groups like TTNS*... but that's about as far as it goes, and "linguistic exchange fora" seems a rather grand way to describe them.
* Things Translators Never Say, a facebook thing.

PS: Dear colleagues, I'd just like to add that I am really glad it's not just me

If you read this and don't understand Japanese, you're probably scratching your head right now. Let me put you out of your misery. Ｔｈｉｓ means "I don't understand the meaning of the question."
I hope the poster of this poll can enlighten us as to what it means so that we can select the right option. 
BTW, I did Google it and if it means 'language exchange sites for conversation exchange,' then I'm even... See more

I suppose the closest would be the polls right here

Following Julian's example (are we both starting a"linguistic exchange fora"?), this means in Portuguese: "If only I could understand what this poll is about..."
| | | |
I voted NO since if I don't even know what the question asks, it means I do not participate.

It sounds intriguing, though, and might be something I would like to do once I've found out what it is.

If you meant something else, I'm sorry but you did a lousy job expressing yourself.

I understood the poll as: participate in fora about languages.
But I may be wrong! Since the poll was suggested by "anonymous", I fear we never get an explanation.

I used to go to the forum on the Word Reference site, but then I discovered Proz !

While I'm rocking a new turntable to the likes of Jonathan Butler (on vinyl!), I read the answers my colleagues gave. They're all right!
If I didn't now any better, I'd say Noah Chomsky wrote the question.
