I always use:-

General Autism discussion (always the first one I go on each day)
Social skills and making friends (always new interesting threads)
The haven (can relate to what a lot of people put here)
Random discussion (often find new interesting threads)
Members discussion (often find new interesting threads, although when I post here it takes a while to get replies and threads die off quick)
Women's discussion (I am a female Aspie so I find it quite important to come here sometimes)
Wrongplanet.net discussion (I can always find help or new tips for the site here)


I sometimes use these, but not too often:-

Bipolar, Tourettes, Schizophrenia, and other psychological conditions (can be interesting sometimes)
News and current events (can be interesting but for some reason I don't go on here a lot)
Work and finding a job
Television, film and video (I sometimes like to discuss some films that I have seen or know of)
Adult Autism issues
In-depth adult life discussion
Stats


I very rarely use these because I find they don't interest me as much, although perhaps very occasionally I might quickly have a look through them:-

Autism politics, activism, and media representation
Getting to know each other
Off the wall
Parents discussion (I am not a parent so it has not much use to me)
Love and dating (I sometimes find love and dating discussions boring)
School and college life
Health, fitness and sports
Games and video-games (I'm not really into video-games, only very few)
Art, writing and music (although I like being creative, I don't tend to visit this one very often)
Computers, math, science and technology (too complicated!)
Politics, philosophy and religion (I sometimes find religion discussions boring and complicated)
Adolescent Autism forum (I am not an adolescent)
Kids crater (I am not a kid)
LGBT discussion (I am straight)
The foreign languages one (I am no good with foreign languages)

Rough estimate

Random: 80%
General Autism: 10%
LGBT: 4%
Off the Wall: 4%
In-Depth Adult Life: 2%

Something like that.

I have visited Members Only a few times before.

Absolutely nothing else.

It fluctuates & nowadays I don't come here that much but I think the sections I check most are Random, L&D & Adult

I use mostly this or the games one. Sometimes members only as well. Others I like to just look at, or don't touch at all.

Mostly PPR, it suites my style.

I used to mainly post in PPR, but it has lost its interest for me. Now it's mostly LGBT, Art, Writing and Music and Adult. I go in The Haven sometimes as well.

So in essence, I've gone from thinking about politics a lot to listening to music, thinking about sex and feeling depressed instead. :P

^ :lol:

AAI and some game threads, mostly, although I go to PPR when I find a topic I want to talk about, and I refuse to give up on L&D. I check the "new posts" section so I don't really pay attention to the forum section I'm in if going from there.

Random Discussion--I like to blather on about whatever pops into my head
Parents Discussion--to brag/whine about my son
The Haven--to whine about being poor and married to a cross between Eeyore and Yosemite Sam.

I read Love and Dating and Adult Issues but haven't posted there often. Sigh....

School and College Life/Work and Finding a Job: I try to offer advice a lot in these since I've had a lot of experience with both
Art, Writing and Music: I lurk on here and post when I see anything that impresses me, or for my occasional music video spams
Love and Dating: I post here when the topics aren't all self-loathing ones
Computers, Math, Science, and Technology: I don't like the computers part of it, but the rest really interests me :D
Random Discussion: I post here when I don't want to be too serious, but sometimes there are some really interesting threads in this section too.

I post in the other forums when I see topics that interest me or when I have something to contribute, but mostly I just lurk on them.

PPR is the most.

Why I dunno.

Getting in the middle of a bunch of angry axe grinding bigots beating the crap out of each other for no good reason is like cutting, anorexia, or body piercing.

I guess I just crave pain.

After that: Random, News, and general autism.

Then its about an even split between, science, art-writing-music, TV-movies, dating, and members only.

Not infrequently seen in off the wall, and the haven, and jobs.

Go to adults only occasionally.

So I get a good well rounded diet.

But there are quite a few forums I almost never visit as well.

Im in the wrong demographic for women's, college life, and for LGBT.

Grew up before the age of video games began in ernest. So cant relate to anything in that.

A mix between General, Members, AWM (Art, Writing, and Music), Games and Video Games, and Autism Politics.

I mostly use Adult Autism Issues.
After that it's mostly
Random
Member's (which I see as a private, slower moving version of Random, since the threads seem to be the same)
Love and Dating (sometimes just to watch the ridiculous arguments)
Women's

I do dip into General Autism discussion and the Haven occasionally, but they are too triggering for me to stay very long.

I rarely use any others, they either don't apply or I discuss those things elsewhere.
