If the SDMB had an unrepairable glitch that would only allow you to read two forums from here on out, which two would you choose?

This hypothetical assumes they would all still be there being contributed to by Dopers who chose them, it’s just that YOU couldn’t access them.

TLDR: what are your two favorite forums?  
😄

ETA: Mine would be GQ and Cafe Society I think.

Mundane and Pointless by far. Then The Pit to assuage my contrary side.

I’d stick with GQ since it is the reason I originally started posting to the board since I live for answering and asking questions. Second would be MPSIMS since it a non-aggravating place to go.

I could live without P&E or the Pit, only started going there because of the big orange cheeto (still can’t get the acronym right).

If running with the naif, self-aggrandising vision that I am contributing to the stated purpose of SDMB then it needs to be GQ and GD.  
The others are just there for us to be sociable and/or blow off steam.

Those are my picks, too. There are a number of forums I never visit and wouldn’t miss at all: debates, politics, both games.
