Do you know of available LDS Internet Resources on the net that are a positive influence to other members?
Now I am not talking about personal sites, I am talking about sites that have real resources that members can use. For instance the most obvious is https://www.lds.org since it has an online vault, up to date info, archives, etc.
I have found sites that enable you to download LDS hymns in Midi format - that is a resource. Our own Oil For Your Lamp can be considered to be a resource because it gives information helpful in preparing a talk, class, activities, etc.
If you know of usefule resource sites you may place the link here on the condition that you give a detailed explanation of what makes the site a resource for other Latter-Day Saints.
A good one is https://www.ldsseminaryfiles.com/index.htm This site has a ton of stuff to help in preparing seminary lessons. It could also be used for any other Church related class preparation. There are two ways to get info, some is free and some you need to buy a membership to access.

Where to start....
Over the last few years, I have come across so many excellent resources, that it will be hard to even find all of them.
Start with the premier apologetics site:
The Foundation for Apologetic Information and Research (FAIR)
https://www.fairlds.org/home.html
This is the place to go if someone has been exposed to anti-Mormon information, and needs to find some answers about the specifics. The research is excellent, and the information is well organized.
The Book of Mormon Answerman
https://www.new-jerusalem.com/bom-answerman/answers.html
This one is kind of fun. I don't always agree with everything, and a lot of times would like to contribute, but then you all know how I am about that The whole New Jerusalem website has a lot of good information, but they took down the part I like best, the Title of Liberty which had hundreds of quotes from Church leaders about our responsibilities towards maintaining and supporting liberty. Take a look at the Stumpus section for answers to a lot of general questions.

Barry's Early Christianity and Mormonism Page
https://www.geocities.com/Athens/Parthenon/2671/EC.html
Barry is the younger brother of one of my best friends in High School. My friend went in a very strange direction regarding the Gospel, but Barry has become a scholar, especially in the matter of early Christianity. Barry and I have corresponded at various times, and he is a great young man.
There is, of course, FARMS. FARMS was the premier research site for all matters LDS. Eventually, BYU took them over. Now they are no longer independent. That may be good as well as bad. Whatever, their information is great.

One of my favorites is the Book of Abraham Project.
https://www.boap.org/
Just as the name says, it contains a lot of information about the Book of Abraham. It used to reside on a BYU server, but the owner eventually moved it to its own site.
This should be enough for now. Have fun!
