Your forum MO

An interesting question...

How do you check the forums? Do you start at the top and slowly read through each forum, or do you go backwards starting with the lower forums first? What are your favorite parts of the forum to read/post and where do you spend the most time?


----

I generally open each forum from the lowest to the top (with GC being the last) then open threads starting with the top and ending with the bottom.

I generally like to read Feedback, Help, General Chat, Gaming Discussion, Site Staff, and occasionally General Final Fantasy and Music/TSW.

So how about you?

Quick Links to New Posts, and that's that.

Right now I have a pretty set routine when I first get on for the day.

1. I check any PMs that I have and then reply to them.
2. I check the Staff forum and all the subforums there (if there are any new posts, which isn't always the case.)
3. Then I check the feedback forum.
4. Help forum is next.
5. General Chat.

After that, it depends on how bored I am. I might move down to the lounge and general gaming. After I do all that, I just randomly click around and check new posts as they come up.

read pms
general gaming discussion, refresh 3 times
genreal discussion
arts and writing.

PMs ( which usually don't exist )
GC
Then I usually will go to EoEE and Lounge and skim through. If a thread catches my eye next to the section I'll go in there but if not I move on to the next forum on my list.

- Staff
- General Gaming
- Lounge
- GC
- Anything else that catches my attention.

-User notes
-feedback
-general chat
-lounge

I never go to the final fantasy forums, and if I do, its VERY rare

PMs
Staff
Feedback
Help
General Chat
...and the rest as needed.

PMs, subscribe threads, then surf from GC, Feedback & Help, EoEo, sometimes other forums. Sometimes when I am bored I look in the gaming sections.

general chat, then EoEO, then lounge, then ff9, then w/e i havent read in any random order, usually only read threads that have a title that catches my attention

PMs, The Lounge, GC, Feedback.

1. PMs, if any
2. Starting from Feedback: Feedback, Lounge, General Gaming*, EoEO*, EotW*, General Chat. I open a new tab with each forum, then open a new tab for each new thread I want to read. So I could have anywhere from 0 to 12 tabs open at the end of all this.

*I oftentimes don't check these forums, unless there's a specific thread that I want to check replies or if I'm bored.

I start up to down. I find myself posting more to what the forum is for now. I used to spam way to much. I want to maintain myself. I want to stop major spam. So when I post in GC I can find myslef spamming but not anything big. My favorites to read?? Anything Im interested in actually. Favorite parts??

I'll do this instead. Out if 5... (Ran off of which I find myself liking)

I start in staff, then look in GC, Help/Feedback, ff5 if there's posts, then ff8, ffx if I'm bored, then GG, then I start over from GC.
