Pathfinder 1E Why do you discuss Pathfinder on ENWorld instead of Paizo.com?

[GlassJaw]

As many have mentioned already, the Paizo forum layout is very difficult to navigate. I've also had very long posts completely eaten on more than one occasion for no apparent reason.

I also find EN World to be much more "fair and balanced". There will always be strong opinions on the interwebz but to me, EN World is more equal opportunity.

And now that EN World has got its mojo back, it's a no-brainer.

I'm actually disappointed ENWorld separated Pathfinder into its own message board. Having it isolated like this gives it much more of an echo chamber effect where you are likely to only see agreement with all things Pathfinder and, well, we already have plenty of that on the Paizo website. No where near as many eyes will be on these threads as before.

Well, I had become rather tired of the threadcrapping in the general forum with certain posters that seemed to want to enter *every* Pathfinder thread to say that it wasn't for them.

Because I like the format of the boards on Enworld more. Paizo's gives me a headache...

I am used to the ENworld style and layout. Plus the whole hovering over the thread title and reading the first paragraph to see if poster has a clue is a bonus.

I feel less intimidated to discuss things here at ENWorld. Most here are quite friendly, even to those of us who happen to like 4E. I have a differing opinion of Paizo boards, likely a few bad apples but enough to spoil it for me.

Also, relevance. I used to post a lot more at Paizo when I was running Age of Worms, or reading Dungeon magazine. Now, with Pathfinder and my soon to get a copy of book, I might start posting again there.

+1. Also, someone said something about the sub-forums. There's so many of them, and I don't follow them every day, and so I've become so massively behind... o.o

Here is a pet peeve of mine. You can't subscribe to threads on the Paizo boards and have them send you an email when a response is posted to the thread. That's annoying.

At the same time I don't know that you can do it here either. I use to get emails to my threads all the time but I haven't in months. Did something change?

I believe that may be a community supporter option. I have a paid account, but I don't bother w/too many of the special options heh.

Correct. This can and does happen on either side of the fence. That's why I am not disappointed that Pathfinder has it's own forums here. Hopefully seperate forums won't be necessary long term, but I don't think it's bad for the time being.

Nope, it's free for everybody.

I am on both, and I like both, even though I have been on EN World far longer than at Paizo's.
