Talking Poll: How do you use AFF?????

(I hope this works, first go at a poll)
We are all here each day or every couple of days, but how do we all use AFF?? Are you clicky and only go to one Forumn, do you have a select group of Forumns you visit, do you only follow certain (big brother) members around or do you monitor latests posts and get involved with various discussions????

My routine is to log into MSN then open the forum page. Read the latest. Check and reply to my PM's. Then go off and do my thing. Come back and have a quick glance every now and then. If I'm not checking "new posts" then I'm usually in the sponsors section.

mmm Should have had a sponsor section in the answers...oh well

Double mmmm this poll could be slightly flawed because if people use only one site and not the Pub or New Posts, they will never see this poll and never get to vote......OH Bugger. :

I enter straight into the Fiesta/Ka section followed by going to the main page and checking out the Euroford sections. Any spare time and I'll browse through the Bar and Pub.

I have several forums I go to, this is one of the better ones. people seem friendly and >16 yrs of age. I have not had a problem yet, but on another forum, their seems to be people that are just their to say black to your white..

AFF is slowly taking over my top forum spot! ;)

I usually go straight to the e-series section, then head over to the pub and the bar, go down to the pits to see the latest in motorsport (if there is something new), then just randomly go to whatever (sometimes show and shine, sometimes project cars, or if the latest post for a forum looks interesting, I might go to it)

Hmmm, poll needed to be multiple choice.

I said one forum only but that's not strictly true. I mainly go straight to the Territory section (apparently I have some responsibilites in there) but if time allows then browse other sections, some more so than others, and also frequently use 'new posts' and work down the list. This really depends on how frequently I'm on, any more than 1/2 day away and there's way too many new posts to bother with.

I found this thread via 'new posts'

The Pub, The Bar, FPV/Tickford, LPG, The Pits, Drag Racing and that's about it.

Ocasionally look elsewhere, but that's the usual.

I go to Pub, Bar, DM section, also the Drag Section, The Pits, the Contemporary Fords section, XR6T and Typhoon section, FPV section, I6 section, the Vic/Tas area and the WA/SA/NT area and quite a few of the sponsor sections. I occasionally have a look at the Site Help area too.

Sometimes I feel like hanging around in the Bar and Pub and having mindless non technical discussions and sometimes I am in the mood to discuss more technical issues, like mods, drag racing etc... depends on the phase I am in for the week.

Have a bit of a look around, light entertainment really. Fascinated by the breadth of intellecual capacity in what I initially assumed was pretty much a motor enthusiast's site. Good though! Very versatile. I can get advice on anything from how to clean up my engine bay to what view I should take in relation to this country's political and economic position, or what kind of mobile phone to buy. The name AFF doesn't do justice to this site.
