What do you look for while browsing EC?

Some just catch my eye~ i tend to look at the latest from sections and spend a lot of time in Chit Chat and Fun and Games ^^

I like question threads and dicuss threads too and i like to take part in them~

 

If I have something I feel I can give solid advice on.

I know about depression and anxiety. School related issues and transgender issues. Those I address (I.E. I post in the general advise and gender identity forums the most) outside of the basic top 5 forums.

I don't know what gay or lesbian people go through so I don't really think I can give them a great answer on strictly gay issues. Empathy no, sympathy yes.

But then again a lot of issues I see here are not simply unique to LGBT topics so I try to get in on helping with those.

I also like to talk about video games and music a lot, which most here do too.

 

I post on threads with little or no replies. I also post in threads that I can relate to and give my advice on. We are all here for advice and so that's what I try to give.

 

I look for titles that catch my interest. Something that I could contribute to or something that interests me in general. And, like op, I also look for threads aimed at my gender since if it's a question specifically aimed at gay men, I wouldn't have anything to say about it.

 

I usually just participate in the Fun and Games section, but I like going on threads that involve polls or opinions, so I can express my own. I also like looking out for "What do you like?" threads because I like seeing other's thoughts and I can research what they said they like and see if I like it too :icon_bigg

 

Every time I come on here I usually go to chit chat and family, friends and relationships first. I like threads about love and relationships, it's always been that way on any forum it's something that always piques my interest. Maybe it's because I like love, or that I can relate to it well with my situation. Other than that I might check out the entertainment section and the gaming and technology one.. because I'm a gamer(league of legends and steam) and I also like anime.

 

Usually what I look for is a thread with a low amount of posts. If it already has a bunch of people replying on it, chances are I'll probably have the same advice that's already been given.

As far as specific sub-forums, I think I am most comfortable giving advice in the Coming Out Advice and Sexual and Romantic Orientation.

 

I usually look at the latest threads. If there is one that seems interesting or that I could related to I try to post something. I usually post on the ones that I could relate to.
I also like the ones with the polls; those let me see more about the people on EC.

 

I would like to reply to a lot of the posts on threads, but I unfortunately don't know much about most of the topics, and on the few that I do know about, I can't really think of anything I can say about them. So, that's why most of my conversations have been with specific people that I've come across so far, even though I browse a lot of the sections almost everyday and look through most of the threads, clicking anything I might have even the slightest bit of knowledge or experience or etc. about, and seriously just hope that I can have a response. I usually don't. ;-;

 

I usually roam the new posts section and look for things that seem interesting. I'm usually in the gender identity forum and the news forums a lot of the time. I spend some time in chit-chat as well. In support and advice, I just look for topics that I can talk to people about.

I also roam the new posts sections looking for things that are/could break the rules as well

 

Whatever catches my eye, really.
Chit-chat and tech are common places for me to hang out.
I stay away from threads with bad spelling, threads that are rambly, and threads that are about feminism or bashing conservatism/Christianity/etc.
Those topics are topics where my opinion could cause the thread to explode, and there are other places for me to do things like that. But a support forum? Maybe not so much.

 

I'm obsessed with the news section for a variety of reasons, none of which are really helping my current situation and I really should stop, but, the wonders of OCD everyone

I tend to stay in chit chat but I'll occasionally try to help in the support section. Problem is, I haven't solved any of mine yet so I don't know how to help others

 

My main port of call is the Gender section, and that get's most of my attention...closely followed by the orientation...basically anything I think I can help with...

That or the news, depending on how much something bugs me!

 

Just interesting threads and threads I can respond to with some advice cuz I like helping people. ^_^

 

Honestly, everything.

When I first joined, it was simply advice threads, especially those that hadn't received responses, and general topics that interested me. I would say that I tend to post most prominently in the Chit Chat and Support Area. Fun and Games, Entertainment, and News posts are less common. In general, I just spam the new posts section whenever I'm on.

After joining the staff, I began browsing the activity of the site a bit more attentively.

 

New threads I find interesting, old threads I've posted in, posts by people who I have wall conversations with.

 

Porn?






J/K. I usually just look for something interesting or I feel pertains to something I've experienced in my life that I would be willing to give advice on. Things like suicide or bad relationships with parents and what not. I try not to comment on dating and such since I've only been with one girl my whole life so I've never dated lol. :lol:







Or my sex life, it's my favorite topic. :icon_redf

 

I also tend to be more inclined to respond to threads that have gotten little to no replies. those are usually attention grabbers for me.

My main thread tends to be coming out advice or general advice. I also really like looking in the family and parents of lgbt people because I like seeing parents come in and seek advice and questions.
