WoW Forums. My God... how do you stand not responding to every 12 year old on there who think everything needs to be nerfed other than what they play? Or how there's only 1 side to every story... or the worst - how people post on their alts anytime they say anything unfavorable? It gets pretty sickening over there. Tough to find the good threads.

i really only look at the class forums for the classes i play and the PVE one, they arent nearly as bitchy and such as you mentioned, sometimes i go into the PVP forum when i need a good laugh,

ya, i go there mainly to giggle at the posters/ trolls. the shaman and rogue forums havent been too horrible once you get past the "whaaa im weak!!" stuff tho. some decent info floating around there still.

My spec sucks. My gear sucks. My arena teams, etc... they suck, I get it.

Just shut up and answer my post.

Cause there are always kids who respond to your proper arguments by insulting the above, or just saying 'qq more'.

I try my best not to fall into any kind of routine, at all. It's hard... I have routines for a couple websites, specifically, but not for surfing in general...

Some months I have to catch myself falling, though..

So no, I don't really.

Do you have such a routine you stick closely to?

If it weren't for the stumbleupon firefox extension I don't think I would do much actual surfing, though thanks to it I do get my share in.

speaking of routines, whatever happened to MichaelD?

I do that too sometimes. I'll check AT, see there's nothing I feel like reading and close the tab. Then I'll go to check some other site and click the AT bookmark out of habit.

I visit youtube, atot and autoblog the most. Some facebook and myspace thrown in randomly.

Launch two browsers side by side, right one for AT, left one for my regular sites (playstation forums, avs, cnn, ve3d, etc.). Also launch MSN to check mail.

Yes, it has got very small recently though. I dropped Facebook after I realized I didn't care that some kid I knew in 7th grade was working this weekend or that an acquaintance I met at a different college is excited to visit somebody else I don't know. If someone is important enough to me I'll keep in touch through e-mail.
