Can you recommend a forum that focuses on informal English?

Since I don't see a section where vocab questions are asked I want to know if you can recommend any specific forum, specifically one that focuses on informal English and is not Reddit because on /r/LearningEnglish a lot of my threads got ignored or answered incorrectly and then ignored and it doesn't even have a bumping feature to mitigate that.

You could try looking up words in Urban Dictionary.

You might have luck with the English Language Learners Stack Exchange. They have tons of questions and answers about the English language, both formal and informal.

The other thing that comes to mind is the WordReference forums. People there are very helpful, and the forums are very active. Questions about slang are common.
