i have now been on IC for a few years yet i have only ever posted one message to the Web Boards.....i think it's that i find them rather intimidating.....
The Blogs just seem more intimate, more personal.....i don't know why but i feel that "Friends" will read blogs but "Strangers" will read the Boards!!!.....Yet i know that the vast majority of all readers will be unknown to me...
Do you have a distinction or preference to where you post? i mean excluding the munch / event advertising etc...?
or is it just me being me...

We have never met, but I have read your blogs with interest.
I read webboards as I do certain blogs, but the inclination to be involved is less. so I can understand the
intimidation thought, for me it is just a bit to up em at times. Yet I do find them full of interesting tit bits.regards Having gone to the well, I found it dry. Still digging though innit.there is gold in them thar hills. |

when I want to ask a question , I will put up a board post if its a personal meandering, I will blog I think the difference is that blogs are just that personal , and you can restrict replies, as opposed to boards which are designed to engender debate and reply.

I'm a post-whore. I'm everywhere. I think it has something to do with still being young and needing to identify myself. "I like this." "No, not that". "This is how I feel about that."

Now that i have rediscovered my personal profile (had forgotten i had it), as opposed to the munch one, i am finding my feet on posting on the boards here. Used to be that i would only post on the munch threads i started. Seemed a little odd to post on a thread with the munch profile lol! However, having said that i am a message board whore on CM..... eta that i put all my blogs there too.... "There is no such thing as liberty. You only change one sort of domination for another.

I've not blogged on here yet but what you say sounds right enough. I hardly bother to read the boards anymore. Things might be different if I knew the consistant posters personally. |

I use the boards for something that's directly on topic and when I want to either ask a question or start a discussion. Replies to a blog feel to me fairly personal, whereas on the boards it's more like a public discussion, a debate. Who the OP is matters a lot less. I would join a thread on a board if I felt strongly enough, even if what I want to say (politely) is that I disagree completely with the OP; with a weblog, I'd be far more likely just to go and read something else if I disagreed - unless the blogger is directly asking for opinions. |

If it's about a local event, I post on the boards, general topics I do a weblog. I do it simply to aim the blog it at the right audience. I do very few posts of my own, but loads of replies to other people's posts. Gary x. Everyone who lives dies, but not everyone who dies has truly lived. |
