I was just wondering how others surf the forums? Do you sit at the main page and hit refresh till you see someone reply? Do you go into a certain sub-forum and read all the threads? Do you use the search function to find something you like? I'm just curious on others techniques if you can call it that. How do you indulge in the Gaming Forums?
Ermm...this is sort of a random question, in case you didn't know already...
I sit glued to the screen mashing the refresh button... no I just see a random thread if I have any ting to say I will post and leave it and come back in an hour to see if there are any reply's.
I leave the UserCP on, and refresh it once every ten or twenty minutes.
Mr. Pedantic;4595959I leave the UserCP on, and refresh it once every ten or twenty minutes.
:withstupid: lol, jk. while i do what pedantic does, i also switch between youtube. and once and awhile i venture out of my FF home and go through the GD, GG, the PUB, entertainment, graphics department, and spam forum. and once and awhile and go to the game section like dawn of war.
I login, check my userCP and go through the 20-30 or so subscribed threads. Then I refresh the userCP and check any eplies made while I was lurking. THen I check out the staff forums. Then I go through the main forums (Forum Feedback, Intro, General Discussion, Pub, Spam, FH forums etc.) from top to bottom. I then check my userCP again and then start hitting the "new posts" button to patrol the forums on a more global scale (for potential staffing intervention or just to catch a good thread anywhere on the forums).
Oh and ofcourse with no pants on and if possible, a webcam connection with Red Menace.
I open the JK2 forum, JK3 forum and my UserCP in 3 tabs and check them in that order. I then look in Introduce Yourself and welcome any newcomers... then I check the overall latest forum posts.
I check the UserCP and then browse the general forum and tech.
