This poll is inspired by a few comments I've seen in various threads around the forum. Some folks, for example, seemed completely unaware that we have a webcomic, which leaves me wondering how much of the community reads content on the site besides the forums.

So let me know what parts of the site you enjoy and visit, and what parts you utterly ignore or couldn't possibly care less about.

I subscribe for the articles. No, really. (Hides centerfold.)

It's the weekly e-magazine I came here for. "Zero Punctuation" and the forums are nice bonuses, but I'm here for the news.

If it is on the front page and looks interesting I will read it. I have read most of the escapist reviews, strangely though I have only read a few user reviews. I am in the news room alot (if that counts) but I mostly lurk there.

I tend to spend alot of time in the forums, but that's because it takes me about 1-2 hours (seriously) to go through everything and catch up on new posts... I tend to read the editors articles if they're about something interesting (the latest one grabbed me coz of the semi-naked chicks in the picture) but I don't have a huge amount of time, and most of it is with the forum.

To be honest until ZP was hosted here I wasn't even aware of this site, So of course I'm here for ZP but I also read the odd article on occasion and sometimes skim the forums though not often.

Unless your talking about the whats good in web comics article then I can't find a webcomic for this site anywhere. Which could mean one of three things, I'm blind, It doesn't actually exist or aliens stole it.

I watch and read almost everything here*, but that doesn't mean I comment on it :).

Exceptions are:
Drawn By Pain - Great effects, just not my thing
Videogame Theater - WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, WHO LET IT REACH THIS SITE!!!!!!!!!

I've only been here for a little while, but I've found the articles surprisingly informative and entertaining. Sorry about the "surprisingly," but I would assume you appreciate a smidgen of honesty. Or perhaps you just want to see which moles should get ban-whacked.

Yes, there is a webcomic. It comes out twice a week, and is featured on the front page. Here's a link to the index:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/comics/stolen-pixels

And The Escapist is all electronic, all the time, so no hard copies to be had.

I just finished reading the Stolen pixels web comic. I found it genuinely funny and refreshing that theres a gaming web comic that actually talks about games and the games industry.

My suggestion would be to change the picture from the SP letters to something that more resembles a web comic.

Mostly just the forums and ZP, but every now and then I read reviews and features.
Pretty rarely though.

I was brought here by Zero Punctuation (which I accidently discovered when looking for a review of Bioshock or something on google :-D); But signed up because of the forum & articles. Though now I dont really bother with the forum so much; do read the articles & continue to watch ZP as well as De Rez (& will start watching Unforgotten Realms again at some point)
