Poll question: When you log into DU, which forum do you read first?
When you log in to DU, which forum do you read first? Why do you read that forum before you read the others?

If you log in at the front page, which forum do you read first after reading the front page?

11. I agree
The dungeon is a wonderful place to find lots of great information. Probably not the information you intended but c'est la guerre. :hi:

17. I get a 9/11 hankerin' about once a week..
I'd probably go there more often if it weren't for the few professional "I believe everything the government tells me" people who ruin almost every serious 9/11 thread.

18. Me too.
I stay logged on and that is the page I have it bookmarked to open to. I skim, reply or not and then check out the lounge or "My DU" to see if there were any replies to things I posted last time on.

6. Almost all my DU time is spent in LBN
I skim the GDs and Editorials, but I want to see what news is in the buzz first and foremost.

7. I usually hit "My DU" first
to see if anybody has called me out for being an idiot in a recent post...

from there, it depends on my mood. Usually, GD. Sometimes the Lounge, sometimes LBN.

this way I catch LBN and most other forums

10. I go to LBN first, but I always go to ERD: the most critical issue in the US today.
If the vote is not counted fairly, kiss everything else good-bye.

After that, General Discussion.

21. I always check "Latest" first, find posts whose rec period is about to expire.
(Have to page forward a couple to do that, of course.)
