Intimidate seems a little too strong a word but do you avoid other forum section?

Because you feel you will make the wrong topic or say something stupid in something other than general forum?

I don't go to Politics forum because I don't know what to say. Probably because I don't follow politics but looking at it, they talk about a lot other than elections for the next future leader of whatever country.

Lurking is a great way to learn about a section but most people jump into the general discussion forums. Kind of annoys me when I see a topic about video games/help on flash/art in general forum because the forums sections they were designed for are neglected.

So yeah.

Probably because the other forums hit me. And I have no opinions on anything.

The politics one is kinda balls anyway no matter what you say someone else is ganna have a diffrent opinion and of course its your own Fucking opinion if it came out of your mouth no one should argue because only you can change your mind thats why i don't deal with that section. I am republican and i don't think anyone can change my mind except me. But yeah sometimes i feel that i don't want to post something because i know definatly there is ganna be some asshole who will Critisise it whether it be about my Spelling or something just in general so yeah i agree.

I don't have strong enough opinions to go into politics. It's not like I couldn't argue or debate correctly, but I could care less TBH.

Flash and Programming aren't my area of speciality so I avoid those topics completely.

Other forums I'd post in now and then.

I don't go to the Politics or Programming Section. I would go to the others more, but I'm to lazy to scroll down. They should be rearranged.

General: no
Wi/Ht?: no, I can help out a few people
Politics: not my interest.
Flash: don't have it, so wouldn't bother
Programming: again, won't bother
C&C: I post in one club, but can't make my own
Art: used to post, but realized I wasn't an 'artist'. Also, strict rules
VG: not a hardcore gamer, don't have the ROM to download stuff like TF2, etc.

I've never seen you and you're a mod. An example of how some of us avoid other forums sections seeing as you're a flash forum regular.

I hate the Video Game Forum. I mean, I'm glad it exists, because it eliminates much of the vapid discussion in General. But if that were the only forum Newgrounds possessed, I would not be a Regular for long.

Flash; I'm ambivalent. I've never made a post on the Flash Forum, because I just don't really care.

Programming; Now there's a forum that's intimidating.

Audio; Essentially, the same as the Flash Forum.

Clubs And Crews; I used to enjoy a few choice topics there, but in the last 1.5 years, I find that it has gone steadily less worth visiting. Not so much intimidating as downright boring. Kind of like General.

Where is / How to?; The only real One-Note Forum. Not intimidating.

Art; Slightly intimidating, because there are so many good artists out there.

Politics; Not intimidating at all if you can grasp the difficult concept of looking up as many links as possible, and seamlessly embedding them in an argument. Essentially, it's homework. I would deem Politics to be the most intellectually engaged forum, and I can imagine that some people would be intimidated by that, but I've never been.

The other regulars in the C&C and video game sections and myself are usually saying how we are intimidated by general, now to learn that their afraid of us as well.

I dare not venture into other forums, for their clubs are bigger than mine, and I have not the time to whittle myself another.

Actually, I don't post many topics because what seems like a good idea when I'm half asleep will probably turn out to be stupid when I have it all typed out and I just can't bring myself to click the Post it! button.

I avoid Flash, Programming, but mostly Politics not only because of intimidation, but mostly because I don't even understand that kind of stuff. It's not really who I am.

One time I went into the programing section, and some fat kid hacked my account. got it back at least. But at least I learned my lesson about the Programing section.

General-confortable making post here, but I can never think of good threads
WI/HT-sometimes, but only to answer, not ask questions
Flash-rarely, only when I need flash help
Politics-no so much into politics, the arguements are never ending, its more for people who enjoy politics and reading a lot of text
Programming-I don't do programming
Clubs and Crews-nope, maybe sometimes, but rarely
Audio-don't do audio
Art-I do mart, its one of my favorijte things, but, everyone seems too better than me, I'd wait til I get a tablet before I jump into there.
Video games-sometimes, but I don't play video games that much, but, that is where all the great topic starters went to, now the general is suffering from their abscence D:

Forum 9. Whenever I type it in it says "you do not have permission to be here."
