What boards forums do you use?

Pookah · 24-11-2010 03:16PM #1

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!
