type "www.eyesonff.com" in the URL bar when you really mean to type another address? I've done it many times, and I don't really know why, besides the fact that it's been "burned" into my fingers, if that makes sense.

I just press the F key. I've only done it a few times.

Nope. I have the forums in my favourites, and mIRC on my desktop.

I never do it, but my girlfriend told me to set it as my homepage once. I told her that I didn't want to be like Bleys. She didn't get it.

I do it sometimes. I don't see why it's sad. People like me with no Internet have to set priorities with the limited time they're online, and there's often a variety of tasks I need to do with the time I have. So, I might type 'eyesonff.com' into the address bar when I have actually done everything I need to do there because I'm in a hurry (like usual).

From time-to-time it happens to me but with "www.google.com" rather than "www.eyesonff.com". I sometimes do it when logging in, too (but with user names instead of URLs)

Yes. But usually with google.com or youtube.com :D

Stupid internet.

I never have to deal with it. I just set the Forums as my homepage.

I have the frontsite as my homepage. I usually get here from the favourites menu, so typing isn't a problem.

Generally I'll type for to get to eoff forums. ju to get to my lj friends, ars. to get to userfriendly, pen for penny arcade, ctr for Ctrl Alt Del comic, etc.

Bookmarks are for sites you don't use much.

I do that with google. I can sit and type "http://www.google.com" over and over again before I realise. I never even use google anyway which just makes it wierder...

Her logic sounds weird, but it is true. I tend to hate using bookmarks for sites I got to regularly. I do use the bookmark bar in firefox once in a while, but EoFF is my homepage - which as the Quack pointed out, is just sad.

Nope. From home, I almost always get to the forums via a bookmark. However, at school, I have to type out http://forums.eyesonff.com/.

Whoever set up the server or whatever at school was retarded, so after every restart of a computer on campus, it'll end up with the cache of some computer from a few years ago. By this, I mean, the dropdown thingamajigs ALL have some website for buying new hard drives, and search words in google, and all that jazz. Whatever, I like typing, so there.

Never, since I never actually visit the front-site, only the fori/chat.

I only do it when I don't mean to type in something else. Sort of. It's just like, I'll be really bored, and without thinking I'll start typing in eyesonff.com/forums. And then I will realize my mistake, because I know you guys can't help me, so I play videogames instead.

Usually this place does help with boredom, but if it's at the point where I'm not actually THINKING about coming on this site, then it's done everything it could already.

I have it set as a Tab, I don't know HOW I did it it just clicked a few things and it appeared, so all I have to do is click it :p

I've done it a couple of times for a selection of websites. :(

I type 'f', hit down, and enter.

I'll mistake it for FFNet sometimes though.

Nope. EoFF is comfortably seated at the top of my Bookmarks. :)

Nope. All I have to type is the E and it comes right up. Probably 'cause I'm on so often.
