As on most of the sites like this I notice that people tend to either go for the forums or the chat rooms, there are very few people who both contribute to the forums and use the chat room. People who post on the forums but don't use the chat rooms say that the chat room is full of shite, people who use the chat room but not the forums say the forums are boring, to me they're equal, some forum posts are interesting, some chat is interesting. I like the immediacy of the chat room over the forums. What makes people prefer one over the other?
