Which do you prefer? I see some people who talk more in the chat than they do on the forums, as well as vice versa.

I prefer forums by far, since they are for more serious conversations and I have ample time to think about what I say before I post. I'm not the kind who likes engaging in rapid smalltalk. Chatroom conversations are fun to watch, though.

I'm more so a forums fan.

Forums. There are more things to talk about there.

I'm not to sure but I think I'll say forums.

Forums, there are way more discussions available.

I'm a bit of both. I like to go on the forums to have serious conversations about things, and I go on the chatrooms for general chat.

I guess I prefer chatrooms because it's often hard for me to think of what to say in a forum even when I have an idea of what I want to say and even when I do think of something I often end up getting rid of it. In the chat I can sound as stupid as I want. :3

Definitely the forum for me. I think the discussions in the forums are better even though when I do go to the chatroom I have fun. Which was like, once...

I never go to chat room.So...forums.

I stick to the forums for a few reasons. One: I get plenty of time to type, so I don't have to worry about posting a hideous, grammatical abomination in an attempt to voice what I have to say. Two: I can't seem to find anywhere in the FAQ that describes to me how to use the chat, or what "chat full" is. Yes, I actually take the time to go through instruction manuals. I'm a freak like that. Three: I don't really stick out a lot, as far as I know, so it just feels awkward to suddenly jump into a conversation with people that don't know who you are.

However, I do get a kick out of some of the things that happen in the chat box. I once sat there for an hour just watching people talk, analyzing the general mindset of the conversation.

Forums with chat rooms

I love the forums, chat box is for when I feel like saying a few thibgs that would have no purpose in a thread. I like the chat too, because the funniest things happen. No matter what, I'll still like forums more.

Well, when I want to say something quick and meaningless, I use the chat room, when I make an announcement or voice an opinion of some kind, or pretty much anything that doesn't fit in 255 characters, I use the forums.

Note that I don't use the forums very much.

I'm more of a forums person, it's a little easier to tell who your talking to.

Forum. Better response time, more organized, better archival functions, less pressure, and you get to show off uber avatars and signatures.

EDIT: And you can edit/delete!

Forum. More time to think a respond since when I enter a chatroom (which is rarely) I wouldn't know what to write and also it's funny to see what people wrote on chatrooms.

I like forums, but if you have a chatbox as an add on like this one it's even moar epic.

I'd like to rephrase my previous answer to state "Forums with chatrooms".

Well i'm just starting to get more active on the chat but I still prefer the forums I think.

forums are better
