How do YOU use the GB forums?

I wanted to know, how do you guys use the forums?

Do you go straight to the forum of a specific game?

Do you go to a specific sub-forum (General, Off-Topic, Bombcast)?

Do you just click the Forums button and see all the latest new posts?

While it is evident that you are in the General forums at the very least right now, I am wondering how you browse for the majority of your GB forum use.

I look at whatever threads are on the front page under "Site Activity".

it might be just me,but i almost never pay attention to anything on this site except for the fourums. i go to other sites for my gaming info. i come here for the yucks.

Exactly this. Can't believe it wasn't in the poll.

I do that as well. I refresh often enough I catch most threads from that small box.

I like to see all the new posts, dating advice and all.

Yep, this.

This, and anything that shows up in my PM box from people replying or quoting me.

Yep, same. I don't really have the patience to browse forums much anymore (not sure why) so I just pop into whatever's under Site Activity if it's of interest.

@Flip175: @Aetheldod: @TheKing: @billyhoush:

I have never scrolled to the bottom of the front page! I have assumed that the news articles went down to the bottom, and I don't often read the news articles on GB.

Who scrolls to the bottom of a webpage nowadays? If it ain't an EYEBLASTING SCREENGRABBER, my interest is nonexistent.

How is the Site Activity section organized? The top item on the list hasn't had a post in it for about 2 hours... and all the ones I see are only in the Bombcast forum.

Either this

or C.

unless I'm really bored, in which case, C. And I'll go back in to check threads that I commented on, because I must've found it to be interesting to read and comment on it in the first place.

Liberally

Pretty much this.

You missed an option. I look at the recent posts at the bottom of the home page and command (control)-click any interesting posts.

same

apparently your poll is irrelevant?

@TheHT said:

I just assumed everyone did this.

The site activity feed on the front page updates irregularly compared to the dedicated Forums page, at least on my end, so I use the Forums page. It wasn't always like that, however. I'd prefer the front page if it did update regularly in comparison.

I use the front page linx and typically only read information that validates my existing opinions.

Scroll to the bottom of the main page to see if there is something interesting, or if Im looking for info on a specific game maybe I´ll open it´s page on the forums.

A mix of all, I guess.

yup. i cant be bothered actively looking for anything.if something on the front page seems interesting enough, i'll click

@TheHT said:

yup, this one.

This is what my "Site Activity" looks like, it hasn't changed for a few hours and only shows the Bombcast forum.

Is it busted?

B and C.

C often.
 
Check the popular ones, scroll 2 pages and call it a day.

I only ever look at the site activity. Unless there's something specific I'm looking for, but that's rare.

Site Activity on the homepage, not sure why I don't go onto the forums page.

Im retarded so I look at the bottom of the page

I always just click on the forum button and see whats going on, but if I for instance finish a game and want to talk about it I will go to that games page. I never do option B though, far too restrictive.

General discussion only really. The game specific forums are a bit dead sadly and I have to go elsewhere for that.

This thread is a honeypot. Anyone who picked D is now on a list what says INTERPOL somewhere in the header.

I read and sometimes reply in off-topic for teh lulz

I see if there's anything on the front page that looks interesting i'll click on though's topics, i almost never go inside the forum itself.

Were is drunk at 4 AM on your poll?

i look around the forums for something to post on.

I use it all for the nookie, the nookie.

That section uses your favourite forums. So the Bombcast forum must be the only one of your favourite forums with posts in the last day.

@MattyFTM:

That explains it, thanks.
