    Forums or Chat?

    Do you prefer the EoFF forums or #eoff chat?

    I like the forums because you can think about your response without the conversation carrying on without you.

    when you stop believing in it,
    doesn't go away".

    Forums > Chat. Chat has its uses, but Forums are just plain better.

    I like both. When your new in chat, the regulars tend to pick on you and so on, especially if you bring up FF games as soon as you join xD

    But when your a regular yourself, its very fun (imo)

    You realize this is going to be a very biased poll.
    At least half the people that go to chat no longer even come to the forums.

    It might be smart to avoid me in chat. But everything I say or do is all in good fun.

    I like the forums more. There's nothing wrong with chat but I like being able to walk away from my computer and read the forums as opposed to scrolling through lines and lines of text trying to catch up with what people are talking about.

    I prefer the forums a lot more but I like chat but compared to the amount of time I'm on the forums I'm barely ever in chat.
