What's your Volconvo technique?

What's the first thing you do when logging into Volconvo?

I almost always go straight to the New Posts link and see what's been posted since my last visit. But I know some of you don't like to bother with certain topics, so this makes me wonder what habits we all have when visiting the forum.

Do you subscribe to certain threads and only view those? Do you check the main index page first, a particular forum, a particular thread? Are you consistent in your behavior, or do you look at different things each time you log in?

Scratch, with the left hand of course. ( OK, I'm kidding )

Do you subscribe to certain threads and only view those?

Nope, I never subscribe to a thread. I pretty much view them all eventually.

Do you check the main index page first, a particular forum, a particular thread?

I either start at the top, and work my way down, or start at the bottom, and work my way to the top. Usually depending on whether I'm more involved in the news threads, or the other threads.

Are you consistent in your behavior, or do you look at different things each time you log in?

Heh, once I caught up, and had viewed all of the threads, it would seem like blasphemy not to keep up with all of the threads.


I also usually read everything first, and then come back to reply after the anger has subsided. ( Note I said usually. )

I have pretty much done it all.

Currently, I just search for new posts and then ignore anything I havent posted to already. Maybe I am tired of the silly stuff the forum likes to argue about. I have my own interests and some people are so different that we have little common ground.

I scan the new posts for topics that may be of interest. After a look a the IP and a scan of the replies I can determine if it's another thread I can safely ignore or if I should drop my two cents on a reply.

I go through the forums systematically. Society & Rights, Philosophy & Religion, Breaking News, General Discussion, and then the rest in any order. It would probably be easier just to check my subscribed threads, but I always forget that the option is available.

Subscribed stuff first.

Then New Posts.

[Praxius]

New Posts, if there is nothing of interest, then I dig around manually.

If nothing still, then I head to one of my other forums.

I go to my User CP, where it shows my subscribed threads. I think I automatically subscribe to threads whenever I post in them. I also check out some of the separate sections for interesting threads. Lately I've tried to stay more in the General Disc./Misc.sections.
