What forums do YOU read?

Hey folks, little question for ya.

We can see by 'hits' which forums are read the most by visitors, but after some comments lately on 'basement' forums, etc.. I'm just curious.

What forum do you go to first?

Are you a General Forum only poster? Company Forum? Soapbox only?

or... 'what? There's other forums down there?"

Since I use the EO app, I just go to the latest posts and don't even pay attention to which forum it's in.

Thanks Scott, never thought of that option. I guess I do that too when I'm on the app.

Same as Scott, I use the app 99.9% of the time and just read what I find interesting.

I go to open forum and then new posts.
I try to stay out of the soap box.

I use the "what's new" button, but look to see which forum the post came from. Like others, I try to avoid the soapbox. WAY too many wackos in there.

I read the articles on the front page, then work my way down the forms - General, Newbie, Ask the Recruiter, then the Moderator forums.

In other publications in my younger days, I always started in the middle. :)

I just click the new posts button and work from the last time I read the forum up to the current time, picking the ones of interest and skipping others, so it varies every time.

Usually just the general forum and the newbie forum occasionally. I really haven't given a lot of notice to the other forums until just recently. There is a newest post button?

Dale, I guess I have just figured there are hundreds viewing the General forum at any specific time. When I see that there are only 20 or 30 viewing other catagories I have had the thought of "there is not much going on there" I guess that is why I used the term "Basement". But there actually is some good stuff in the other forums too!

I use the computer and mobile app. I do the latest posts options. I generally read most all of the forums except for the soapbox.

I find the Load One forum to be most engaging and informative. :D

Forums only if using the phone and pretty much everything if on a lap or desk top.
Usually start with the new posts.

So true.. it's easy to lose sight of the rest.

For instance, right now, according to site stats ..
There are currently 1552 users online. 133 members and 1419 guests
Most users ever online was 2,031, 07-06-2011 at 06:25 .


Of those, maybe 10-15 are actively posting at any one time.
