What forums do you visit in what order?

When you enter the SDMB what forum do you click on first? Then in what order after that?

Me? I head straight for MPSIMS (says alot about me don’t you think?) Then on to the other forum I might have a topic in, usually:

GENERAL QUESTIONS, I can think of a fairly good question for this forum about twice a week.

BBQ Pit, I can come up with a complaint/reply about once a week on this one…scared the shit outa me the first couple of weeks I started posting.

GREAT DEBATES, One good topic question/reply about once every two weeks. I love to lurk in there though.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE BOARD, Sorry Tuba I only visit this one if I need to test something or have a suggestion or question. Once every two-three weeks. Another good place to lurk however.
Comments on Cecil’s Columns: Almost never. I am scared to death that I may learn something there.

Comments on Mailbag Answers: Don’t even know what the hell this is about for sure. I will investigate it next time MPSIMS is down.

My first click is the Pit, then MPSIMS. Repeat until exhaustion. I only visit the useful Forums (Fora?) when necessary - that is, when hitting “reload” renders no yellow lightbulbs for the Pit and MPSIMS :wink:
It has worked so far, although I don’t think GD Heroes such as TomH and tomndeb have any idea who this Coldfire fellow really is :smiley:

Nice technique Coldfire I may try that system myself!

GQ first, just to see if I have anything to offer.
GD next, same basic theory as GQ.
Stop by ATMB only if there is a yellow folder and it has been a while since my last visit.
The Pit, and this is usually to see what is boiling up on our fair board.

Then I spend the rest of the day cruising MPSIMs because I seem to fit in there pretty darn well.

Because it’s not just a sig, it’s an adventure.

GQ first - I browse to see if there’s anything there that I’ve been thinking about lately myself
Pit - to see the latest rant. I add something once in awhile
GD - but lately, haven’t seen anything that really caught my eye (I’ll jump in if there’s a topic I feel strongly about)
MPSIMS - stay here most of the day, posting & reading when I get a chance.

If nothing much is going on in MPSIMS, I’ll do the whole circuit again, go over to the FFFMB, hit snopes, and if I’m really looking for some controversy, LBMB.

(GQ)|(MPSIMS)+[(GD)][(BBQ)]

That’s a horribly mangled regular expression for those who couldn’t tell.

MPSIMS or GD first, then the other. Occasionally I’ll peek into GQ. The BBQ Pit makes me ill.

How spooky…I almost always visit in the exact same order as aha. I don’t think I’ve EVER been to “Comments on Mailbag Answers”

I don’t feel worthy enough to contribute to the other forums, so I spend most of my time roaming in MPSIMS.

However, I do read GQ and GREAT DEBATES.

I’m afraid of the BBQ Pit. :eek:

I have started staying clear of GQ lately as I run out of intelligent things to say.

If I’m in a hurry, I check the first four. When I have more time, I look at them all. This is the order I always seem to go in, though.

  1. Comments on Cecil’s Columns
  2. ATMB
    (At the same time as 1 & 2, I’ll have a 2nd browser window open and visit brunching, hungersite, etc.)
    3 & 4) GQ, then when I’m through with other sites in the 2nd browser window, I’ll open MPSIMS in it and read it concurrently with GQ.
  3. BBQ, if time
    -If I have time, I will occasionally drop in on GD, usually if a thread I’ve been following has been transferred there or if a GD thread has been mentioned in a thread I’m following.
    -I haven’t been to the Mailbag forum in forever.

I start with GQ just to get a general questioning overview. Then I move on to MPSIMS to get into the mundane, pointless guts of the board. After that, I go to the Pit and get riled up (not easy to do after reading all the fluffy, happy MPSIMS posts) and then I go to GD to see if anyone has added anything useful since yesterday. After I refresh many times and there are no more yellow light bulbs for the aforementioned fora, I venture into ATMB and if there continue to be no light bulbs, I skim over both Comments fora.

(I don’t actually do any real work at work–I’m more like a watchdog.)

Read 'em all in whatever order I happen to click the browser windows I have them in in.

The last forum is always the lowest one on the list with new messages (usually MPSIMS, or GD), though, since it stays in my main browser window.

Ooh! I truly *** LOVES ***a catfight! :smiley:

My order:

  1. Comments on Cecil’s Columns (that’s why we’re here and not at a yahoo message board!)
  2. Comments on Mailbag Items (see 1)
  3. About This Message Board (to see if the great TubaDiva or EdZotti have new commandments for us)
  4. General Questions (once in a while I’m able to answer one of these, and I learn a lot from this forum)
  5. A toss-up between MPSIMS or Great Debates, lately Great Debates
  6. either MPSIMS or Great Debates, depending on which was visited in step 4)
  7. BBQ Pit, not to post there, but you need to put it an appearance here if you want to be up with the latest news
