Poll: Escapist Forums

[TheTaco007]

Do you usually find new forums by going to the forum tab and digging around through there, or do you just look at the "latest posts" and "hot threads" on the homepage?

 

[Sleekgiant]

I go to the Forums tab but thats when I come here, I mostly stay in groups now.

Both. It just depends on how involved in the forums I care to be at the time.

I'll use the 'latest posts' if I'm in the usergroups.

I'll use the 'Forums' tab if I want to search through all the threads available.

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

The homepage all the time.
Usually because if there's no new/interesting forums in the 'Hot topics' tab, then I just skip over the the 'Latest' tab and usually find something there.
If THAT fails, then I just go back to reading whatever articles I missed.

I usually just look at the latest posts on the homepage.

Why isn't there a thing for "both?"

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Forums tab. I don't go to the homepage very often.

 

[DarthFennec]

I always do the `latest posts' route. I guess I'm kind of lazy that way.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Oh god, a forum thread about the forums that has forum threads. You created an infinite loop!!

Generally I see what has been posted on most recently (in that little box on the side of the main page) and post in anything interesting looking.

 

[Daipire]

I'm starting to get back into going through the filters.

But I usually end up going through the homepage.

I keep an eye out for threads that sound like they could be interesting while I'm browsing escapist content.

 

[sky14kemea]

Both actually, depends what I'm doing at the time.

If I see a thread with an interesting title, I'll click it, but if I'm wandering around passing time I'll use the tabs. ^^

 

[Xeros]

"Latest threads" for the most part.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

I randomly click with my mouse until something interesting happens. So far that has worked out pretty well.

 

[Lust]

I find threads by searching the forums. Stumbling through the dark, venturing forth, looking for advice............

Spoiler: .........hoping that I find what I'm looking for........

All the while battling trolls and sifting through trivial topics.

Usually I succeed.....

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I mostly just look at the 'latest posts'. If I'm curious about a particular thread, I might go dig for it in the forums tab, but generally I stick with the 'latest posts'.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

Bit of both, lately I've stopped looking at the latest or hotest posts tabs though. Most of the time I spend on the Escapist is time that wouldn't be used for anything else so I sort of just browse about the site.

I use both but use the Forums Tab more often. I only use the Homepage if theres a thread that interests me.
