user3029: I'm looking to join a bitcoin mining pool. Which are the top five mining pools with good community support?

user196: According to the blockchain.info's chart, as of Feb 2013 the top mining pools apparently are:

BTC Guild
50BTC
Deepbit
Slush
EclipseMC

I can't say for the "good community" since that's obviously quite subjective.
