I noticed that you have created a thread on beginners and help. Read what other posters have listed there. I think we do not need to repeat what has already the posted there. You can read the OP (opening post) in this thread to get some valuable information as well.

Know that Bitcointalk was created by Satoshi Nakamoto, who created bitcoin. So discussion about bitcoin are valuable, but you can see the other boards on this forum from the hike page, look for boards of interests.
