    Tick all that apply!

    I'm interested to see where people go on EC, because I know there are definitely some places that I never look at.

    I've left out the admin-like ones because they aren't really used for discussion.

    I specifically avoid Anonymous, because it used to be (and probably still is) a place where people post really bigoted shit and then try to look for validation from other people...

    I really like coming out stories because coming out is where I am on my journey...it used to be sexual orientation support but I no longer need that help.

    Regularly, I open Chit Chat, Tech, Relationships, General S&A, and all of the staff-related forums.

    I'll delve into the other ones on occasion, or if there's a thread on the first page that sounds particularly interesting. But those 4 are my go-to routine each time I open the forums.

    I used to do the coming out forums more often, but I haven't had the energy to comment much with support or advice lately; life is too busy.

    These days, I usually only use the "New Posts" option.

    I'm lazy like that....

    I mostly stick to Chit Chat and Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Support, though I also check out Technology and Gaming when I remember to.

    Erm... I don't really keep track. Which is possibly why I haven't applied for full membership.

    I'm assuming I mostly post in chitchat, then in a variety of threads whose titles appeal to me in the other areas of the site.

    Pretty much this. :slight_smile:
    It's much easier than clicking in each individual section, though I still do for important ones.

    I try to look at all of them, but I mostly go to 2-4, and 11-12. That's where most of the action is. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I go pretty much everywhere. It was a mistake the day they let me out of my cage...

    Although I handle it by the "New Posts" button. I only to specific forums if there is a real reason--I remember a specific thread, and it's easier finding it in its happy subforum home.

    I used to go to the Family, Friends, and Relationships threads, but it's been ruined by a member overtaking it by constantly posting the same thing over and over. It's a shame, cos there were some good threads in there when I first started lurking around.

    Now I stick to chit chat, coming out, general and anon.

    This poll is gonna be a teensy bit biased to those who frequent Chit Chat. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Me neither.

    I know, although two people who voted didn't pick it, so they managed to get here somehow :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
