How much forum time do you spend in General?

Poll coming shortly.

In the interest of not hijacking the thread in Moderation (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=11357840&postcount=6)...

So Stalin was mentioning that there are people who don't visit the offsite forums and stick to General. I was wondering how many of you spend all or almost all of your time here.

I was a Generalite for a long time, and spent a lot of time here, but I always hung out on offsite forums too.

So the question is, how much (percentage) time would you estimate that you spend here, out of all the forums you are a member of/have access to, including the various NS fora on Jolt?

Occasionally I will look through Chat, Spam, and Moderation, but usually I am here in General. I haven't been to another forum in a while.

About 70 % here 25 % on fools paradise and the rest varies. Just estimating mind you.

Over 8,000 posts and I don't think I've ever posted outside of General. RP interests me alot, but I prefer to get it on other non-NS forums. General is good for discussion about various problems affecting the RL world.

Out of all the forums I use, I probably spend around 80% of my time on General. Posting-wise, it's probably closer to 95%.

I don't like roleplaying. I thought I would. I even gave it a try once as PIcaRDMPCia way last year or so. But, I don't like it. So I stick to General full time, with the occasional traipsing over to Moderation. As this is the only forum I visit anymore, you can clearly see the percentages.

The other forums don't interest me. RP does, but not at NS, the RP forums are too muddled.

And I never report people in Moderation. That's the coward's way out. People can insult me all they like, and they can be sure they'll never be reported by me; I'm a big girl now, I can take care of myself.

And just forums in general as opposed to NS it's about 40% NS I think.

Of my time on NS, I spend 100% of the time here, but I visit like 15 different forums, so NS makes up a small amount of my total forum time.

I spend far too much time here. Any time I spend on NS I spend in General, but I do spend time on other forums as well. I'd say it's probably 70% NS and 30% other right now. A number which has been steadily increasing in NS's favor for some time.

I spend nearly all my time here right now. Back in the day (2 servers ago), I spent most of my time in NS and II. And I still do occasionally venture back there, just to see how things are going, add some comments here and there. But general is the best. Honestly, I feel like I know some Generalites better than I know my RL friends.

I love you guys :fluffle:

They drip while semiliquid(though ooze would be a better word for it) then as the carpet absorbs some of the excess moisture, they become clods. *nod*
