Don’t look!! Without referring to the main forum page, what is you estimate of the order of the top five most popular forums on the SDMB by number of threads? I looked, obviously, but had I not, I would have estimated… 1. Great Debates 2. General Questions 3. IMHO 4. MSPISMSPS (could never figure out how to say/write that one) 5. The Pit I will not tip my hand and say how close/far I am to the actual answer. ---

I think: 1. IMHO 2. General Questions 3. MSPISMSPS 4. Great Debates 5. The Pit I would not think that great debates is the top. Many users refuse to go in there. I was correct on GD and the pit, but the others were wrong. ---
