In my humble opinion I think
CGPeers deserves to go a couple levels up at least. I got in back when it was open (they still have
signups every month I believe) and it made my life so much easier during college. They have a constant flow of learning material, great resources for 3D modeling and CAD software like textures and plugins, and generally software that would have been either impossible or extremely expensive to acquire for a student. For someone in the design or engineering proffesional area it's a godsend
I imagine GFXPeers is quite the haven for graphic designers too, but I don't have an account there so I couldn't say. Either way, their niches are certainly helpful.
