Why don't more people hang out in Meta, do you think? I know this has come up before, but every time a thread gets moved here and people whine about how Meta gets less traffic I scratch my head in confusion. Then go there! And I always notice threads in Meta that I might miss in General, where everything moves so fast.

Sigh... just wondering why so few people chill out here in the ol' Metaforum...

'Cause it's located way down at the bottom of the list of forums, many people never see it, and others don't know what can be found here.

I have the feeling that many people don't use the 'user cp' option. My bookmark to the EN World boards goes straight to my control panel. In there, I've subscribed to the forums I like (General, Rules, Meta, Software, etc.). There are 7 forums I go to a lot, so I can easily jump to them.

The control panel is very nice if it's used properly. And then the cool forums don't get forgotten at the bottom of the list!

Edit: Oh, and Jester, I agree. Meta is cool!

They just have not found it yet.

Most of the people who come to the boards come for information on their game and they are overcome with the shear knowledge that the 'think tank' that is the EN world forums provide they don't explore the vast reaches offered. Its a theory.

It's a sound theory. I posted/lurked on the boards for a year before I ever ventured out of the Rules section, much less found the cp and other goodies. Doesn't hurt that at about that same time, I got an office job where I'm severely bored much of the time.

Heh... I look away for a couple of minutes and you guys pour out of the woodwork!

Hm, diaglo, one of these days I'll have to go check out the WotC meta board and see what I think. I don't really spend much time there at all.

I'll have to go there, too, someday. I used to post on the Wizards boards quite a bit. But I don't like how they've organized their boards. I like EN World where there is one board for Rules, one for General. At Wizards, you have one forum for spells, one for classes, etc. Too hard to track anything.

And besides, between here and Nutkinland, my time was taken. Not enough time to swing by Wizards.
