How many forums do you post on?

Your poll is technically the same three options. I only post on Era and I’ll probably be done with Internet forums permanently if I ever leave.
Your poll doesn't make much sense. Other than that, I only post on here and watch other reddits to keep up with what's going on in certain games.
Just this one.
I write the occasional youtube comment, if that counts. And I sometimes browse reddit but have never posted there.

I post here for most stuff.
Increasingly, for anything related to PC gaming, I post on MetaCouncil. It’s like posting here but without having to parse through the pages and pages of blatant, unmitigated troll posts that populate just about every PC-centric thread that pops up on gaming side. Plus, there’s some developer interaction, which is cool.
I lurk on Hipinion and have for about a decade. I like the music and bullshit discussion a lot, but haven’t had the draw to actually start posting for some reason. But I always wish I was more active around this time. I love fighting with people over their year-end lists.
And I used to be involved with the Sound Opinions message board. It’s a music-centric Chicago-based radio show that you can find wherever you find podcasts. Very deep-dive oriented. For people that give way too many fucks about the stuff that goes into their ears. Like me.

Just here. I used to visit GameFAQs and one of its spinoff sites for many years, since I was a teenager. I stopped once I started visiting ResetERA actively because it was a straight upgrade. The other forums were cesspools full of toxicity and garbage people and I only put up with them because I didn't know of better alternatives. I'm really glad I found a forum that actually has meaningful moderation.
I do wish this place lived up to its reputation as a "communist SJW hivemind" though, that would've been just perfect :p

Just here really, Every few months I try to get into Reddit but you really can't beat a regular old message board format.
Four. Here, Goodreads, IGN (shitpost central AKA The Vesti), and the Skeptic's Guide once in a very blue moon.
I post on multiple forums.
Here, the NationStates forum, Reddit (if it counts as a forum), TokuNation, the Allspark (Transformers forum), and the Sailor Moon Forums.
Honestly I'm more active on the other places than I am here tbh.

My main online profession is lurking here and on Reddit. Let others post as I scroll down - one hand on my mouse and the other on my dick. I facilitate this by having my keyboard over there away from me most of the time.
I post on 8 different forums.

I’m not even aware there are other popular forums. I get everything I want from here and Reddit.
Used to post on PlayStation underground when I was part of GAP but my petty ass brother ruined that, then Xbox forums but Microsoft ruined that then GAF and now here. I also sometimes post on Giant Bomb it where I found my free company for FFXIV.

from my experience, most forums are pretty dead.
most of the ones i mentioned were in their peak popularity from 1999-2010.
there are very few active forums left, and i'd like to post on more forums but i haven't found many as active as Era.
