What is the most popular Forum?

[apoppin]

1) Where go you go most besides off-topic?

2) In order, what do you think are the most popular forums (most visited)?

I visit (in order) General, Off-topic, Overclocking, Video, Software and Issues.

I would guess, Hot Deals, Off-Topic, General, For Sale . . .

EDIT: Does anyone actually KNOW? I don't think AnandTech gives out that info. As a side second question, why is the advertising the same on all the forums?

Well you can tell by the # of topics that are shown...

Which would mean Hardware, For Sale, Hot Deals, and Off Topic..

I am not referring to the number of topics, but rather the number of page 'hits' - the greatest number of people visiting each forum average per day and clicking on a topic, registered, logged-in or not.

Zuni mentioned there are about 600 people are visiting the Forums at any given moment while only 200 may be logged in.

For example, "Articles" will become incredibly popular right after a New 'Hot' Article/review is published. Then the visits drop-off until the next article.

Sometines a thread will have well over a hundred responses, while others may only have none or two.

I used to only visit general. Now I'm all OT. Ocassionally forum issues if I want to bitch at the mods.

For me it's OT, GH, OC, & recently FS/FT. Bought myself some nice toys, & sold some toys I was tired of.

But the vast majority of my posts are here in Off Topic.

General Hardware is the only other forum I visit frequently... I visit the other forums occasionally (CPU, networking, etc).

[dennilfloss]

GH, OT, Video, then most others for me. I would think that GH gets the most hits.

I visit every forum, every day. How much time I spend reading, depends on my current interests. Right now, I've been spending extra time in Networking and Operating Systems because I'm trying to learn Linux.

[GoldenBear]

&quot;I am not referring to the number of topics, but rather the number of page 'hits'&quot;

Well you don't think the two reflect each other quite well?

 

[apoppin]

Not necessarily, GoldenBear. Off topic and General seem to have the most posts in a thread when compared to say hot deals or for sale.

 

[Pretender]

Hot Deals
General Hardware
Off Topic
Distributed Computing (just started today)

 

[hubbs]

Recently I have been spending most of the time in General Hardware. But when nothing is going on there I venture over to Off Topic and CPU/Overclocking. Rarely Software Applications games. But I try to visit the other ones quite a bit.
