Poll, do you read the articles, essays and stories in the Kiosk and Agora? Do you find them interesting and useful in the discussions in the forums?

I voted 'every once in awhile'. Probably more than once a month, though.

Oh, and you forgot to include the library in that post.

I have to admit that I haven't read anything other than the forums for several months now.

nogods4me · 02-21-2003, 06:56 AM

Yep. In fact when I first started to visit II i didn't even bother with the forums. I would browse the kiosk the agora and the library reading all sorts of things and printing many of them out to read at a more leisurely pace later. I still hit the what's new button often and read and print the materials.
this place is an awesome reference, the forums are simply the icing on the cake. (devil's food, of course)

I read a whole lot of the library when I fist ran across this site nearly four years ago. (Oh my [non-exsistant] god, has it really been THAT long??). Since then, I check it out once in a while. I'm usually through the home page and into forums so fast I barely have time to notice if anythings changed.

I started out by reading the library and articles on this site. And I still do browse through there about once a month. It took me several months to even find the forums.

I try to remember to read the *Newswire* everytime I come here to EyeEye. No; my error; >> I don't generally (=ever) read the Kiosk & Agora; maybe because I've never figured out how those work. Newswire is one of my most useful & informative sources to find-out what (sorts of shit!) is being spewed over us!

Well, I know 2 years isn't really that long, but I've had a lot going on during that time. I believe I got here after searching for "atheist" on a search engine, and then following links from other sites ( this one comes to mind). Originally, I started looking at the Newswire and the Agora, and eventually found the forums. I lurked for a week or so before finally registering, IIRC. Now look at me, a Veteran User with over 1200 posts (not including roughly 200+ lost in the conversion)!

Since my bookmark is directly to the forum, I usually forget to ever go out and check the other stuff. Occasionally I will remember and will go see whats going on. Not often enough though.

I appreciate your point Crazyfingers, but I think the readership is different in all of those forums, that's why I posted this the way I did. To give the Sec-Web an idea of how the different forums view the Kiosk and Agora.
