Damn you, I was gonna do one of these the other day... :-)

Life and Everything (Intelligent Discussion)
One of the best forums, a place where newbies can actually show their intelligence. Full of stories, poems and debates. Good.

The Future Of Gaming (Chat)
Crazycol is here. Therefore I hate it.

Movies, TV, Music and Books
Haven't been on in about a year.

Web Design, PC, Internet & Freeola
Great place full of helpful folk.

Microsoft - Xbox & Windows
Good place but never visit.

Nintendo - GCube, GB, GBA & 64
One of the best forums in my opinion. But that's just my opinion.

Sony - PS1 & PS2
Spam city.

WWE
People there are nice and generally happy, or you could say gay (:-D)

Sport
No idea, strangely.

PC Gaming
Only visited once when it first appeared.

SR Site Bugs and Customer Service
Helpful place, generally good.

The Future Of Gaming (Prime Topics)

Spend a lot of time in here, still some goods subjects pop up that I can just read or comment in. Tends to be where people post their stories which I like to read.

> The Future Of Gaming (Chat)
Often browse this one as well, often some funny late night things have been posted that I can catch up on.

> Movies, TV, Music and Books
Used to visit it a lot until everyone saw films before me (e.g. Matrix) so I stay out until I'm up on my viewing so I don't accidently spot a spoiler.

> Web Design, PC, Internet & Freeola
Browse only so often.

> Microsoft - Xbox & Windows
Don't visit.

> Nintendo - GCube, GB, GBA & 64
Think I went in there once or twice.

> Sony - PS1 & PS2
Reason I signed up but rarely visit nowadays.

> WWE
Haven't seen this 'sport' for several months. So out of touch now I don't bother visiting it.

> Sport
Like to browse this and read most of the threads. Oh and bemoan the fact that my SR F1 driver seems to have swopped his racing car for a Noddy version.

> PC Gaming
Don't visit. Should as I know nothing about PC gaming.

> SR Site Bugs and Customer Service
Don't often visit.

> The Future Of Gaming (Prime Topics)
Dead these day, shame really.

> Long, Interesting or Amusing Stories
Still like to visit here. Got a real bugbear up my butt about this forum at the moment. Should be used more and visited more. Last couple of good stories posted in there have been posted in an attempt to kick some life into it but have also had to be posted in other forums in an attempt to get more feedback and appreciation. They have been better received / read by more people as well except mine (oh well such is life). I post stories as I am inspired to write them, should only be for myself but I put them on here for appraisal, good or bad, either I am becoming extremely vain or have turned into an attention seeker!

* sorry, mini rant over. Will wander away to smack head into wall.

> Game Ideas and Retro Games
Don't visit

> Sega - Dreamcast
Don't visit. Never owned one but I can't remember why I didn't get one as I used to love Sonic.

Life and Everything (Intelligent Discussion) - I do post stories in here, but not many- for I live in the fear of being flamed.

The Future Of Gaming (Chat) - Yeah, it's an alright forum. I normally post any attempted 'funny' post in here/there.

Movies, TV, Music and Books - Nice forum, I visit but don't post much.

Web Design, PC, Internet & Freeola - Again, I might pop in with a question or two but I'm normally just reading.

Microsoft - Xbox & Windows - Haven't been in there in ages, no real motivation to enter there either.

Nintendo - GCube, GB, GBA & 64 - My favourite forum. The only one where you can talk and you know you're not going to be spammed into oblivion. Everyone knows eachother too, so it's all cool.

Sony - PS1 & PS2 - You have to have rabies to go in there.

WWE - Erm... :D

Sport - Only ever been in Sport once, and that was because Arsenal won the FA Cup.

SR Site Bugs and Customer Service - Used to be funny, now full of monkey's and their "No mag now annoyed" posts.

Life and Everything (Intelligent Discussion) - Used to read but not post a lot, but it looks like Snuggly's suggstion to make it somehow exclusive makes more and more sense everyday.
The Future Of Gaming (Chat) - Ocassinally something worth reading, still think they should rename it to 'General Chat' forum though.
Movies, TV, Music and Books - Probably my favourite forum at the moment.
Web Design, PC, Internet & Freeola - Never been in it.
Microsoft - Xbox & Windows - Pretty good forum.
Nintendo - GCube, GB, GBA & 64 - Same as above, some posters very passionate about the console and always reliable for well-informed chat.
Sony - PS1 & PS2 - Unfortunately lot some of the potential of the top two, but a few great posters are keeping it going.
WWE - A lot of people have a negative opinion, but that's just ignorance. For its inhabitants, one of the best forums on the site for friendly chat, and of course SRW.
Sport - Never usually venture in.
PC Gaming - Ditto.
SR Site Bugs and Customer Service - Does the job.
The Future Of Gaming (Prime Topics) - Suffers from a chronic lack of visitors, I might try and get up some long posts once the exams are ovr though, that used to be a great place for intelligent gaming chat.

Life and Everything (Intelligent Discussion): used to be my favourite forum and I still do enjoy a lot of the topics, did the SR people change the name just so newbie’s can point out the irony?

The Future Of Gaming (Chat): been spending a fair amount of time in here of late, I would say this is turning in to the old “universe and all that jazz” room.

Movies, TV, Music and Books: used to be one of my favourite forums, then became overrun with “jackass” threads, is now becoming much like it’s old incarnation.

Web Design, PC, Internet & Freeola: um, I would like to say I knew, but I don’t.

Microsoft - Xbox & Windows:
Nintendo - GCube, GB, GBA & 64:
Sony - PS1 & PS2: I am doing all these together. I occasionally stick my head in to see if there’s anything interesting going on…I soon grow tired of “our consol iz better den ur consol”, so I leave.

WWE: English_Bloke, circles his opponent, wearing nothing but a pink rubber thong and half a gallon of olive oil…dunno, I think I have only been in there once when it was the only forum receiving any posts.

Sport: good forum, become overrun with threads about is Beckham leaving at the moment. All hail Forman, love the goalfest game.

PC Gaming: stick my head in every now and then.

SR Site Bugs and Customer Service: as someone already said, I like to hear people whine, and talk to Darkus about his VW Golf.

The Future Of Gaming (Prime Topics): *Shrugs*

Long, Interesting or Amusing Stories: I posted my first ever attempt at writing a “serious” short story the other day, I like this one, pity it’s dying.

Game Ideas and Retro Games:
Sega – Dreamcast: Don’t visit either of these two.

Life and Everything (Intelligent Discussion) - I go here for thought-provoking topics or when I need to express myself. One of the best forums.

The Future Of Gaming (Chat) - I go here to post crap and general stuff.

Movies, TV, Music and Books - The best forum, without a doubt and not many retards go there, either.

Web Design, PC, Internet & Freeola - Don't really ever have the need to go here.

Microsoft - Xbox & Windows - Don't have an X-Box

Nintendo - GCube, GB, GBA & 64 - Have an N64, but don't play it much anymore.

Sony - PS1 & PS2 - A decent forum. Should visit more.

WWE - Good forum, but there are some people in there who really don't know their stuff :D

Sport - Not a sports fan, so never go here.

PC Gaming - Very underrated forum, unfortunately.

SR Site Bugs and Customer Service - I try not to go here much, as getting an admin reply takes over a week :\

The Future Of Gaming (Prime Topics) - Good for intelligent GAMING discussions.

Long, Interesting or Amusing Stories - Don't go here much, as any decent stories are posted on FOG Chat.

Game Ideas and Retro Games - Crap forum with stupid ideas. There's only the odd good post.

Sega - Dreamcast - Don't go here much, as I don't have a DC anymore.

I like this and go in frequently. Has been less intelligent lately, but I still go in.
> The Future Of Gaming (Chat)
Has some good threads. And huge amounts of rubbish.
> Movies, TV, Music and Books
Like this. Still pretty spam free in the grand scheme of things. You go in and actually talk about Movies, TV, Music. I once had a thread about books. And that was about the only mention they ever got.
> Web Design, PC, Internet & Freeola
I go in here to ask techy questions, and to try help others. Only occasionally though.
> Microsoft - Xbox & Windows
Like it in here. But then that is because I love my Xbox and the forum is not over run by fanboys.
> Nintendo - GCube, GB, GBA & 64
You get a lot of traffic in here. Worth a look.
> Sony - PS1 & PS2
I go in occasionally, but I find it boring mostly.
> WWE
Been in here once or twice. But I am not a wrestling fan, so it is pointless in my eyes.
> Sport
Go in here. It is OK. Nothing particularly special though.
> PC Gaming
Decent convo, just not enough of it.
> SR Site Bugs and Customer Service
It is good when this forum is bad. Because that means everyone is happy then and getting their orders.
> The Future Of Gaming (Prime Topics)
Yes, kept afloat by me. Used to be almost as busy as FOG chat. Also it had the best threads. But they were the good old days. Still, I keep the WLT alive. And I do have a prime Future Of Gaming thread in the works. Might get bored soon though of writing it nicely and just end up posting a short version.
> Long, Interesting or Amusing Stories
Not many replies in here, but then it is for stories. Worth a look.
> Game Ideas and Retro Games
Go in occasionally. But any topics to do with game ideas or retro games normally end up in FOG chat.
> Sega - Dreamcast
There is still a lot of game playing happening on the DC, and it is nice that it still has its own forum. Respectful. I do go in from time to time.
