I realised that it often depends what the last thing I posted the previous night was. e.g. last timemy last (or at least, most memorable 🙂 ) post was in ATMB, so I went there first.

ATMB  
CCC  
CSR  
GD  
GQ  
PIT  
IMHO  
MPSIMS

(I pretty much visit them in the order down the page, though I push GQ, IMHO and MPSIMS back a bit because I open more threads in those three forums than in the others.)

And yep, I visit all the forums every time I log on.

1. GD
2. GQ
3. IMHO (not always)
4. MPSIMS (not always)
5. The Pit

I don’t think I’ve ever been in the “upper three” forums. They scare me.

For me it’s:

GQ (I may not understand what Chronos writes, but it’s always fascinating)  
IMHO  
MPSIMS

I avoid the Pit at all costs. There’s enough stress in my life as it is.

Am I the only one who just views today’s active threads? All posts from all forums are displayed, but you know that. So what’s wrong with the way I do it? I can always go to the forum main menu, log out, click return to forum menu, then click view today’s active threads. That will make the list current. What am I missing by doing it this way???

If I’m feeling adventurous IMHO  
And then I scurry back to MPSIMS

On truly wild afternoons I may hit the Pit.

Am I the only one who goes to IMHO first?

The list is:

IMHO  
MPSIMS  
GQ

The Pit - Once or twice a week  
ATMB - Every couple of weeks, to see if anything is new  
GD - Only when I think my blood pressure can handle it. I get way too upset when I debate.

🆒 Thanks man.

I usually go in this order:

Check if any threads I posted to are still active and see what the overnighters had to add, then peruse:  
GQ  
IMHO  
MPSIMS

If I’m bored at work, I’ll check out:  
GD  
BBQ PIT

I have only been to the others maybe once or twice each. I actually posted to Comments to the Mailbag once.
