My daily visit to the forums.
Tuesday, October 30, 2007 by Philly0381 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
When I first subscribed to Object Desktop I don't think I ever looked at the forums. When I started my WinCustomize subscription I visited every once in a while. Now it seems I wouldn't be able to get through the day without checking in here. I started out just clicking on posts that looked like they would interest me, and now every single post gets read.
All this reading of posts has made me appreciate what Stardock has provided and I even have tried some of the many programs because of it. I also have managed to help a one a two people with minor problems, which is saying alot for me.
The forums not only provide helpful information they also provide alot of entertainment, especially the posts about which OS in the one you should be running. There is no lack of opinions voiced here in the forums, that's for sure.
One of things I find myself doing lately is clicking on the posters name and seeing what's in their profile. It helps when I think I going to offer up an opinion or some help. Sometimes though it can be very misleading, like a 77 yr old posting text like they are a 14 yr old and calling everyone "peeps". What's up with that?
So folks, how do you navigate through the forums, do you read every post or just the one's that interest you? Do you find that you leave lots of replies or not?
Oh, the reason I posting is I'm trying to kill sometime waiting for those new additions that Brad talked about last week. You just got to love these guys and gals at Stardock.

I lurk ..waiting to pounce on unsuspe.... 
...wait, no I don't.
That was a dream.
I tend to read as much as I can during the day whilst at work. I'm probably one of the few who has permission from my employer to keep a browser window open to WinCustomize, and my irc client open to Stardock irc. I never let that interfere with my job though ...
When at home, I try to get time to download a few things to customize my pc's, download & test the current uploads in the moderation queue's that I moderate, reply to emails etc, and check out these forums again. I also like to check what's new in the galleries.
In a 24 hour day, I'd say I'm here on & off about 16 hours.
I wholeheartedly agree that these forums are a much nicer place to be these days 
To all who made that possible, pat yourselves on the back ...you deserve it.

It would seem that you all feel the forums these days is a much nicer place to visit. Glad I wasn't visiting when it wasn't so friendly and nice.
Now that's not saying people aren't voiceing their opinions, still have alot of that, which is really what a forum should be about.
