    Which forums do you follow, in the site's new, handy drop-down feature?

    Mine are...

    After Hours - where all the cool kids hang out
    Cool Vids & Pics and Links - for cool stuff
    Feedback - to see whats happening with the site
    Literature - because I like to read
    Prison - for the lols
    Self Defence and Martial Arts - I'm an amateur fighter
    The Gentleman's Club - to keep up to date with all things masculine
    The Ladies Lounge - I just lurk there, occasionally, in the forlorn hope of gaining an insight into the female mind

    What are yours?

    Forum subscriptions have been around since I started using boards. "New and improved" is a bit more fitting...

    I think the frequency with which I browse forums other than Alt/Indie, Instruments, Music and After Hours is very limited. Sometimes I venture outside the comfort of the all-encompassing musical forums into pastures new but that's usually just 'cos I've seen an interesting thread title. I haven't visited the Humour forum in God knows how long, the last time the Games forum saw my custom I think I had just hit puberty and not have I even contemplated entering the Tech category.

    I mean, brownnosing aside, boards is a fantastic resource. It's amongst a small number of sites that I regularly spend hours and regardless of the five years I've spent here, I haven't investing enough time exploring its wares.

    So I put it to you, people of boards, what forums keep you coming back day after day? And why should us other users check them out? Enlighten me! :D

    Add in a bit of PI, Humanities and Politics for light reading too... I spend way too much time on here :pac:

    Plumbing & General problems with heating and house stuff.
    Android Phones.
    Laptops.
    World of Warcraft.
    Politics.
    Motorbikes.
    Military - but I was banned.

    Handy auld spot alright. I find Irish people know their stuff a lot more than American websites - a generalisation of course, but Americans will type and type and type paragraphs of stuff to read, whereas the average Irishman/woman (lets face it, it's the men) will just have a few important sentences and sort your problem out.
