Hostels.com is primarily a booking engine and while it has some good hostel info, the message boards are icredibly lame. Besides Lonely Planet's Thorntree, one of the best internet bbs for budget travel/hosteling in Europe is Eurotrip.com, but I'm a bit biased as I am a moderator there (under another name that wasn't available here, unfortunately)
