Or do you move between all forums? Where do you normally hang around? I frequent After Hours, Personal Issues, Soccer and on occassion Politics, Travel,

Territorial? Moi?

Hmmm-

Personal Interests
Politics
Work
Feedback
IRC
Recycle Bin
Subscribers
The Cuckoo's nest
Mythology
Film Reviews
Scifi/Fantasy (all of them....)
Computers
Broadband
Wireless
Operating Systems Mac
Operating Systems PC
Operating Systems Unix
Security
Tweaking/Modding
A few hosted Forums, which will remain nameless
Rec After Hours
Sci - Most of the Forum
For Sale / Bargains / Wanted

So- I do tend to avoid certain forums, but hop around quite a bit. Territorial? Hmmmm- don't really think so.

I just use the search page. Flick through the new posts, look at any topic that may be interesting, keep an eye on anything I've already posted in.

Ditto that but spend most time bouncing between Motors, Soccer and Politics.

Soccer and Politics mostly and anything else that looks interesting.

It's interesting to see how many people mentioned Politics but hardly if ever post there. People should post feel free to join the discussions.

I like to avoid all boards where I'm likely to act like a muppet, thus drawing the wrath of ecksor, so none of the following for me: After Hours (with the exception of an occassional poking-head-in-the-door moment like now), Television (24 & Smallville threads an exception), Feedback (or anything else under admin really), Counter Strike, Half Life - usually just stick to Bargain Alerts, DCU, Fitness, Slydice Specials as I'm less likely to do something stupid there - means I don't see some of the entertaining leet posters like Smiles, WWM, MAJD or eth0_ for instance though...

are on my subbed, I'll check PI for amusements sake occasionally and religiously refresh new posts for interesting topics, though as time has gone on I look at fewer and fewer fora. I rarelt look in slydice, it's on the subbed for convenience of access as it doesn't appear on drop downs being a private forum n all

I have a large subbed list, but rarely read any other boards.

I use http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/subbed.php?number=200&onlynew=yes&x=11&y=10 as my main (only) interface to boards, which makes having a lot of subbed boards tolerable.

otherwise just flick about, 200 channels and nothing but cat.

As for territorial / cliquey - oh yeah - big time. Certain people follow each other around, giving each other reach-arounds.
