Phoenix Network Forums

I want to know what do you think of forums in general:
I mean you use them for fun, learn new and useful information, make new friends, you find it fun to read threads???
I initially wanted to make a poll but i changed my mind please motivate your decision!!!

I use forums for ripping info from ppl. Why I do this, because all info is filtred and I can get it better or when using certain methods - just for fun.

I'm going to be honest and say that the only reason I use these forums is so that my shell account doesn't get suspended.... j/k

I use the forums to learn and because some of the threas are kinda interesting and I have a habit of checking back on them.

Boards are the way to to communicate, if
) response time isn't a matter and
b) you want to talk to poeple who are not online at the same time than you, but not talk directly to a specific person (for which eMail or offline message compatible IM would be to be prefered).

The topic and use of the forum depends on the forum itself. Some might be for technical support, some might be to gather information, some might be to share projects, some might be make appointments in some kind of organization, some might be to leave comments or discuss about something. The use is very wide and its really simple to learn for anyone, since nothing has be installed besides a internet connection and a browser. Even a internet cafe or a friends PC is suffient. Some might use them even from some cell phones ^-^.

4ums are great thing for finding things or hearing opinios. But now everyone want's to have forum with some discusse which is allready commented on some biger and well known forums.

phoenix is going to grove because we need it, and with some time he wold become well known & more visited.

Hope your right kvach..... its gona grow like a newly hatched phoenix
