Poll: Where is your Niche on The Escapist?

[Scizophrenic Llama]

I tend to stick to gaming discussion. If things are slow there I'll migrate over to off-topic.

 

[JokerCrowe]

I split it pretty evenly between the off-topic discussions and the featured content. When there's no new content I check for new OT threads.
I think going to the Religion and Politics threads is a little risky. Too close to the Basement.

 

[Rawne1980]

Off Topic and Gaming.

Avoid religion and politics like it wants to dry hump my leg.

 

[Colour Scientist]

The German Brigade? .......No, The Belgian Brigade?

Careful! Anymore guesses and we'll get done for advertising.

Kind of funny how I don't spend a whole lot of time on Video game discussion.

So far it doesn't seem as popular as it should be.

 

[DJDarque]

The vast majority of my time is spent in User Groups. I browse the forums somewhat often, too. Mostly Off-Topic, Gaming, and News Room.

 

[Total LOLige]

I stick too Off topic and the gaming section.

 

[Neonbob]

I spend the majority of my time in forum games and lurking in Off-Topic.
Sadly, I'm growing less and less inclined to post in OT lately.

 

[Zykon TheLich]

I browse off topic a lot but it's 99.9% crap, so most of my communicating is in 1 user group...this one:

Join it if it appeals to you ;p

To be honest, I think it's sad the Off-Topic threads/posts far outnumber the Gaming Discussion... on a website about gaming.

I get it, The Escapist is also about "geek culture", but come on...

 

[Scarim Coral]

I spend most of the time in Off Topic, Forum game and RP and in one of my groups. I do post in Gaming, The News Room and Featured Content althoughI rarely post in Reviews and Advice topic. I'm not part of the gene wars and I avoid religon and job board.

 

[GeorgW]

I go to any thread I find interesting. And since most threads are in Off topic, I chose that.

 

[Danny Ocean]

No Advice?



ETA: What's a user group?

This is one. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-Team-Fortress-2-Group-PC]

There are many others. Click the 'Community' tab, and then the 'User Group' tab.

I used to go around everything, but now it's almost exclusively Religion and Politics and the usergroups I manage.

Other: Messing with the lights.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

I tend to just browse about Off-Topic looking for interesting threads to poke into and comment. Though I'm also a mod for the Escapist Headbanger's user group which I like to keep an eye on for good music related discussion.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

User Groups and Off-Topic is where I make most of my posts.

 

[The Eyeball Moose]

After taking a stroll through my post history, I found that my posts are extremely biased to off-topic.

 

[Ren3004]

Forum Games, followed by Off-Topic and User Groups. Most of my friends are in FG so I usually only post in OT when I see a thread that interests me.

Off Topic, Gaming Discussion, Featured Content

My main staying places are off-topics, advice forums and the Publisher's Club forum :3

I checked the Pubclub forum a couple times, but it seemed pretty dead other than a "what happend to the pubclub forum" thread. Granted, I haven't been here nearly as long as you so maybe it was more lively at some point.

How come? Same old, same old?

I like the room for broader discussion. Maybe it has tilted in favour of off-topic but if the forum was strictly game related it wouldn't be as much of a draw for a lot of people.

Its the slowness that I like about the PubClub forum... back when it first started, there were only a handful of us so everyone could recognise each other, it was like our own little village, really quite nice

I do see what you mean as "dead" though, its seemed to have lost its appeal a little as of late...
