Are you asking about

 1) Javascript itself (the language)?

 2) jQuery or some other client-side framework?

 3) The DOM model and API provided by various web browsers?

In most forums 99% of the threads are about 2 and 3.

That's a tough one.  I dabble in Javascript in order to support the
Web UI's on some of the embedded products I work on, and I've yet to
find a high quality forum for Javascript questions.  Javascript
programing seems to be dominated by cargo-cult programmers with little
understanding of the language.  They just sort of cut-n-paste code
snippets they find online and then hope.  It's not quite as bad as PHP
in that regard, but that's not saying mutch.  [IMO, the design of the
Javascript language itself is _far_ better than the "design" of the
PHP language, and that the results of cargo-cult programming in
Javascript usually turn out better than they do in PHP.]

If you do find anything like c.l.p for Javascript, let us know...
