What Forums Do You Read???

[Dr.Dan]

I’m wondering what Forum’s people here read and why. It’s obvious that some of the forums on ENWorld get a lot more attention than others do, dispite the fact that some of the less popular ones are very good and very useful. It’s something that’s puzzled me for a while.

Part of my reason for posting this question is selfish, I admit. One of my favorite Forums (Plots, Places and Rat Bastardly Brainstorming) gets about 2% of the trafic of this Forum. (I base this on the number of Posts listed for each.) I want other people to check it out and share their ideas there.

So what forums do you stick to? What do you avoid? What have you checked out recently and said to yourself, “Wow! I wish I’d seen this forum before.”?

I'm not sure your method is accurate, since a lot of people read certain forums but never post in them (story hour, for instance).

I regularly frequent:
General
Rules
Story Hour
Playing the Game
Meta

I occasionally visit:
Plots and places
Talking the Talk

Maybe Views would be a more accurate gauge...

I spend almost all my time on General, with trips over to Story Hour to update my SH (new update yesterday (he shamelessly pimped)) or catch up on one's that have cranked out new updates themselves.

The other boards I only hit from time to time, mostly just to see what's new. There's just not enough traffic to warrant spending much time on them.

I reckon.

I regualry view and post in general.

I regualrly view and less regularly post in rules, d20 system and OGL games, books and films, computers and meta.

I occasionally view house rules and minis, and every once in a while post in there.

 

[Viking Bastard]

I used to be active in several. General, Meta, the PbP forums etc. But since
the board change I've been experiencing so much technical annoyances, I
hardly ever post in other forums than the Fantasy/SciFi/TV/movie/literature
forums (whatever it's called).

 

[KB9JMQ]

I read and post in general.
I read Rules, House Rules, occasionaly Software and now since I have some minis I have been reading in that forum also.
I once in while check out Meta and Newshounds also Story Hour when I have time to read a lot at a time.

 

[KingOfChaos]

I'm afraid I mostly stick to the D20 Publishers, e-Publishing, and the art/mini forums. I have my own general D20 forums at my site and have enough problems posting and moderating there. Doesn't keep me from posting to the other forums some of the time, though

 

[Lord Zardoz]

I usually visit general discussion and sometimes the rules forums. The forums I like best are the rogues gallery and the Plots, Places and Rat Bastardly Brainstorming, mostly because I like inflicting my criminal genious for such things on others.

I think that the rat bastard forum and the rogue forum tend to get the least traffic for two reasons. The primary reason is inertia. People stick to the forums they know. The other reason is that for DM's who have players that visit these boards, trusting the players not to read a thread that says "my players keep out" is just a bit too trusting for some people.

On top of that, I only frequent these forums when I have an active game going on (as either a player or a DM). Otherwise, I dont visit or post much.

END COMMUNICATION

 

[Krael]

I mainly lurk, with the (very) occasional post. But here's my list

In this order, I visit the forums.

1) D20 Modern
2) D20 / OGL
3) General Discussion

I do it this way, because the first two don't get much traffic, and since my time is limited, I check those two out fully, and then pop into general with whatever time is left.

*shrug* Odd, yes, but it's how I do it.
