What is your personal choice for best Forum? You can only choose one! Feel free to give your reasons. I will go with MPSIMS. You get a wide variety of entertaining topics, and you don’t have to be a genius to understand what people are talking about (most of the time). I love all of the Forums, but if I had to choose only one, MPSIMS would get the nod. ---

i’d have to say Cafe Society, but MPSIMS comes in around third or so. ---

Cafe Society is my favorite, not sure why as I’m not so exposed to culture but I enjoy it nonetheless. MPSIMS runs a close second. ---

I enjoy the casual atmosphere in the more relaxed forums such as MPSIMS so if I have to pick one, that would be it. Sometimes the Pit is just plain necessary. I rarely go to GD or Cafe Society. ---

MPSIMS IMHO CS GQ BBQ Pit ATMB I don’t read any of the other forums on a regular basis. ---

A tough question. I usually check the pit first, but I wouldn’t call it my favorite forum. I’d say either GD or GQ are the best, I do like Cafe Society though. Either way, MPSIMS is fucking lame. ---

IMHO. Wide variety of topics, a fast-moving forum. I usually always find a good read here, as well as an oppertunity to speak up myself. CS, MPSIMS and the Pit tie for Second. ---

Cafe Society (I look for threads one what y’all are reading.) GQ (When I do come across a thread that I know the answer, it’s usually already answered.) IMHO (I’m noisy, I like seeing y’alls answers.) MPSIMS (This seems to go in cycles for me. Sometimes there is alot of thread titles that are interesting and sometimes not.) COCC (I mostly just read the replies, I don’t think I’ve ever posted.) COSR (Same as COCC) ATMB GD I avoid the pit. ---

GQ is the most useful of the forums. The Pit is where debates really take place. IMHO is where people offer unfounded opinions. GD is the _other_ place people offer unfounded opinions. Cafe Society: ibid MPISMS… Blargh! ---

GQ ATMB COCC COSR IMHO Haven’t yet visited any of the others! Julie
