I personally prefer to hop into discussions in all available categories. Whether it be music, humor, debates.. etc.. gives me something to do and let my mind just explore all kinds of different discussions and stuff.
I have done this, but mainly I just post selectively. Basically, where I see value or the ability to add value to the posts. As in I don't go into say a thread about that latest gadget or whatever to have no real input about it. Not to mention I tend to avoid chain posts as those are not usually my thing. (Chain posts I mean like, the count down thread you have here). It lessens my range of posting, but not a big issue to me.
Though I am still lurking and watching all of you closely. :lol:
If I am not familiar with the forum's niche then I most likely will only post in the off topic sections. However in very rare cases, I take the time to get to know the forum's niche and start posting in sections that are on topic. 🙂
An another question should be, "Do you also go out of your way to create topics, so that there would be a little bit more of a variety in what is available to discuss?"
