    This place. seriously

    I think is a source of atrophy in some of the sections. I like the idea of everything having its place but its a bit excessive, I think it keeps the peace a bit though. Whether that's truly constructive I don't know. People left to their own devices can become some what detached.

    I like this forum, there are some cool kats on here and i like the way its organized.
    Theres so many forums/sub forums.. for whatever you may want to post or thread you want to make theres a specific place to discuss it. If theres a certain thing your looking for you can go straight to the subject and post it i think its nice.

    Just be glad there is a "new post" and "your post" button. I do usually get annoyed with forums that have tons of subforums , but those two buttons make that bearable .

    I'm glad it works for you, I've run into the issue of posting in forums that hardly anyone goes to. I find while there are people on the forum that have knowledge they tend to stick to certain areas.

    Yes, there are some forums/sub forums that are more active than others.. but sometimes it just takes a while for there to be replies but even though i would say this forum in general is slower than it used to be.

    I think some of the country and state forums are silly. Maybe continent or region forums would be better, where we could discuss events (from political to environmental to whatever) effecting the entire area? But other than forums for rainbow or similar community chapters, I think area forums are too broken down to be useful.

    But that's just me. Otherwise, I generally use "new posts", except for the few forums I might actually go into, and I use the forum that it's posted in to help decide what to read. I like it mostly how it is.

    From my limited experience it seems to be centred around the sex forums and the rest of the post sort of fall by the wayside... Which is a shame, I get enough sex to not have to discuss it in detail on the Internet ;)

    i just look through the new posts

    i don't usually seek any particular forum

    apart from the games forum from time to time

    but that's more for the people.

    I like things organized so I can find what I want. I wouldn't shop at a store where everything was just dumped in a big pile.

    This.
    Once you get past all the L&S titles in your face, it's definitely the best way to surf this site.

    I just post on whatever interests me on new posts. Sometimes I'm surprised at the sub forum I'm on.

    Strangely enough, I recognize posters and have my small handful of regular subforums I frequent, so despite the huge size and options, it actually works out nicely, imo.

    There are some forums that I am fairly positive I have not been in yet and I was around before the board changed over.

    I tend to read certain forums and post in those. I do sometimes read others as I see a post by a member that interests me and I read and reply if I wish to add to that discussion.

    Easy to avoid forums you have no interest in.

    I like garage sales and flea markets too but sometimes I don't have time to browse and I appreciate not having to rummage to find something; like when I'm baking cookies and need green sprinkles, I like knowing where they are in the store.
