*hugs* Of course we do Susan..........just the forums and videos are more popular :OSusan Arendt said:It positively breaks my heart that neither "the articles" nor "the columns" are options on this poll.Does nobody read anything we write?
Mainly Zero Punctuation, I did like the forums a lot but a recent incident has left me rather annoyed with them, though some of it was my fault.
I've gone with 'Reviews', assuming of course 'Reviews' covers Zero Punctuation. I enjoy the forums as well, but because I post at work I can't very often get drawn into debate - I have to post a single opinion and then move on.
I've had dreams about making this thread, but I always though it had been done ages ago. Good work on making this thread(couldn't have done it better myself).Everin said:
OT: Aaaa, can't say exactly. First I love the videos the most(funny and witty), then I found the community really nice. But then there was this explosion of comics that caught my eye. And then I started reading reviews and articles(tried Genra Wars,too, but never got the hang of it)
In the end... I just can't make up my mind. TE is awesome if you take each component separately, but as a whole they make an exceptionally messed up(in a good way) fruit cake.
I simply can't decide.
I voted the videos. ZP was what got me here. Unskippable, Unforgotten realms, Apocalypse Lane and Doralingus are the series that kept me here.
But I still like the forums as there are always some interesting threads being active whenever I get on here. The community is pretty cool as well and I occasionally watch a review or view a comic as well.

I think of you all as more of a kind of moss under a bridge. Pleasant and green and not moving very much. And also quite damp.SonicWaffle said:
The people. You guys are really great and always fun to read your comments. The videos are fun, the reviews are great. But you people make me stick around
Good god man, what is with you an those freaky avatars? I swear, some people...Pararaptor said:
But I generally enjoy it for three things: the IRC, the forums, and the videos. And exactly in order of preference. The IRC is pretty awesome, as are the forums. It's actually hard to decide between them, but while the forums are going downhill (though not consistently, there are good threads, but there are also so many threads that aren't particularly uninteresting or anything, but rather degraded by the quality of the discussion and the people within it), the IRC is consistenly awesome, while the videos are awesome too, I don't really watch them that often.
Also, you get about 5-8 minutes of entertainment from every video series on the site once every week. You get entertainment from the forums and IRC 24/7, and you can always visit them, and spend time, while for videos, you have to wait for new ones to be made.
But since IRC isn't on the list, as well as an "Other..." option, I picked the community. The people who make videos are, in a way, part of the community, as are the forum members, and the IRC members (who are all forum members, too).
Also, HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE CHOOSE THE "The Forums" ANSWER?!
Seriously, the community is what the forums are. If you wouldn't like the community, you wouldn't like the forum, then why pick that, over the community option?
I'm sorry. I love the columns and the articles, but there wasn't enough room, so I thought I would put it all under 'The Community'.Susan Arendt said:It positively breaks my heart that neither "the articles" nor "the columns" are options on this poll.
