I'm really curious with other peoples use of the forums. Sure, you might browse all sections of the forums, but which one do you prefer posting or lurking in? Bonus point if you give a reason why. Write as much or as short as you like! (Also seperating Art games, freebs, and trades since some prefer one than the other from what i've seen)
I spend most on the Forum Games since i love seeing character interact with eachother. Esp with your own chara. But general is p cool too
i was gonna vote forum games but i honestly think i spend more time lurking thru all the general forum threads? mostly bc while i don't post on any all too often i like reading other ppl's opinions and discussions and stuff!
forum games are fun tho :0
I always lurk in General, though I post on the Forum Games more often. General is where I'm at rn, since I often post there. I really wished I posted more often in the forums, though...
General.
It used to be games but since im way too shy showing my characters i only can play like 4 games and i got bored.
I was thinking about this question earlier lol. I used to be really active in the forum games, at some point I made this habit to post in at least one forum game thread daily, ahah. Though life have gotten busier and a lot of other reasons have made me quite inactive in forum games now, maybe I'll get back to be active again but...well, I don't want to turn this into a rant so let's stop here, ahah.
Though now I'm more in General, Character Discussions and Creators Corner? Not to the point of say, I'll post daily or something but I do appear in certain discussions and just like learning about people's interests, creative works and such. c:
Definitely general, followed by character discussion, forum games and creators' corner. I used to post a lot in the forum games in the past but nowadays I'm either too tired to really post because it requires effort and I rather not give half assed comments, but I have sort of learned long bios are bad so I feel more like a nuisance in those games at this point haha so I stay away. Character discussion I like to lurk in the hopes there will be actual discussion threads, same for creators' corner.
My top three are Forum Games, Character Discussion and General. There are like... half of all forums sections that I never set foot in. Mostly I just check on the sections I'm familiar with daily.
General, since it's the only forum section I can really participate in. I like the threads in Character Discussion and wish I could participate but since I'm newish and have only text profiles, and it takes me quite a while to type them up, I can't "show" any of my characters. 😳 Ditto with Creator's Corner...most threads are art based so there's very little I can contribute. Obviously I can't play along in any of the games (I'm bad at games anyway). And I don't do character adopting/trading/buying/selling, so...
I'm glad there's a spoiler function here so I can hide the cringier parts of my posts.
I kind of wish there were more writing-related threads, though I understand most people aren't into reading nowadays, especially long stuff like what I write. I might share my written character profiles or talk about writing habits/techniques but I've had bad luck on other sites when posting/plugging my fiction writing so I wouldn't do that even if there were more writing threads. (EDIT, I just saw someone above say that long character bios aren't really liked around here, either... ;_; ...so...I guess I wouldn't share my character profiles after all. Good thing I learned that before trying, I suppose... But yeah, I wish there was more discussion about character creation, inspiration, writing, etc. in there.)
I must admit I find the forums here kind of odd, user interaction seems minimal. I wonder if users read each other's replies when posting or if they read the OP, reply, then leave. I'm used to forums where people kind of chat back and forth with each other and reply to other replies. Maybe because this site lacks a quote function or the ability to directly reply to other replies (I've never seen a forum without that) without pinging a particular user, it just seems like people rarely read other replies? Or maybe General is just kind of a non-interacting forum? Don't know.
On the one hand I think this is probably for the best since I'm painfully anxious interacting with others, but on the other hand, it makes the forums kind of isolated/lonely. It's like...I want to be replied to, but I'm terrified if anyone does. ;_; Dumb, I know.
