forums in the DR
How well do you read and write Spanish? I'm sure there are some but I'll bet it's all in Spanish or Dominican.
Oops the boss and I posted at the same time
In French (it's not that great, but here it is...):

Wordreference language forums
For languages wordreference.com has various forums all language related and the moderating is visible and effective. No off topic posts are tolerated and the forums have a large volume of participants. There are usually thousands of people logged on at any given time. I browse and participate occasionally (under a different user name of course) as well. They have a forum called 'S?lo espa?ol' and they mean it. All grammar related questions and answers must be in Spanish. Therefore, those who are looking for a Spanish forum wordreference is good but for grammar and language related questions only.
They have a lot of knowledgeable Spanish speakers from all over and many from Spain IMO. It's interesting to read their comments about the responses from speakers from Latin America when some of the really interesting and more complicated grammar questions arise. To really appreciate some of the discussions and responses you have advanced level grammatical knowledge or get to that point eventually to really appreciate the discussions. IMO, some are too lengthy and detailed for the topic at hand and I usually don't read all of them once someone posts what I would have responded.

DR1 Mini Blogs
Another suggestion is the DR1 mini blogs. The topic of choice by 'you' the blogger does not have to be DR related as clarified by Robert when the blogs were introduced/ activated and why not have some of the blog comments/ discussions in Spanish. Whatever you write about write in Spanish and have some DR1 members read it and give their feedback in Spanish. Be creative with the topics. With languages it's easy to find a way to practice and make it enjoyable.

You can go to http://portal.reddominicana.com/foros
A couple of years back it was fairly popular among Dominicans but the administrator changed its look and people felt uncomfortable with its new format. Still a bunch of people post there, just got to be careful, there's a European guy who thinks he is Cervantes; if you make a spelling mistake he'll let you know what your mama did last night.
Another one is Univision network forum (Rep?blica Dominicana - Univision Foro / Forum)
Volume wise is the most impressive Dominican forum you'll find online, literally you post a message and in hours you'll have trouble to find it; it will be buried under tons of new messages.
The quality of the messages is what you would expect from Univision; pure garbage, no wonder Cablevision wanted to dump them off their cable service. Populated mostly by Dominican Yorks, Moderators are very permissive so expect to see the stress of the Big Apple expressed in Dominican niceties.
