Hi there!
I hope this is the right place: let me know if this should be moved to Meta.
For me, the IFC is a daily part of my routine. It’s the first thing I read in the morning before the New York Times, and it’s one of the things I check regularly.
My question is, do you read most/all posts on the forum? Are there some you skip over, whether new or in unread? Which threads do you track?
Yeah, kinda, i love to read everything i see here lol. It’s always interesting
I read almost every post. It is amazing how much activity the forum has during the day at sometimes. I check in probably every other hour if not that busy. If I am busy that day i probably check in 4 times. The only time I am not responding to things is overnight.
For me, I mostly skip a few posts (Mostly Features ones.)
I usually help users in Support and engage with anything really! :)
It’s just fabulous to see this community growing and growing day by day and meeting/welcoming new users to the forum ;)
Hope this answers your question 😄🙌
Definitely not. I read (most) spotting topics and I’ll look at anything that has regards to fuel/running out of fuel/range. Outside of that, I only read if the title catches my eye or if I’m sent something by a friend.
Heck no
I tend to respond to features and support right away while other categories such as general or screen shots I will check those maybe 2 times a day. I am just happy that I am still able to spend like 10 minutes going through things and leave it alone for awhile.
I never knew I would be saying this but I do the same 💀. I need to evaluate and change my morning routine, maybe add a few pushups in there rather than doing it in the hot afternoon 😂. Anyways back to the topic, there’s sometimes topics which are very interesting and I do attempt to look at most of them apart from Features and some Support categories and many others apart from some like screenshots and videos and RWA mainly.
Adding onto what I said before, the first thing I do, is get it DM’s (if any) or any responses. Then after that, I just hang around and engage with different topics.
I just look at the Live/Events, Real World Aviation/Spotting and sometimes the ATC or like @AndrewWu said, if the title catches my attention or someone sends a topic my way
For me, I always look for ones that look interesting to me.
I like to look back at old events and old topics.
Every once in a while I go back to the Eugene fly-out to see how noob I was on the IFC when I first joined lol
@Jinco does! He’s a little rolodex of history :D
Hahaha, yes! I check every IFC Topic since 1.5 years, if I remeber correctly. I may not read Events topics and replies in their entirety (meaning that I scroll down pretty fast through the replies, reading quickly everything), or similar, but yes, I read most of (if not all) the posts on the IFC :)
For me, it’s usually just my notifications, Scenery Editing and Events
I usually just kinda scroll down the list at random times throughout the day and see if anything catches my attention.
I like to read some things and it’s definitely apart of my daily routine. I love to see what people are up to or what interests me.
I’m sorry but if you are reading every post on this forum, respectfully, touch grass. Not sure I was ever there, but I’ve been close, being that involved in any online community isn’t great imo
Direct answer: no.
In terms of most frequent habits in going through posts, I’d say I most often:
1)select general and look for what of interest stands out
2)have more tendency not to look at latest comments on long running open topics
3)glance at support and/or quickly scan down the recent list of all topics combined
Yet, I can’t count the number of times I later stumbled onto an interesting dialogue I missed from days or weeks prior.
Yes i do, I read through every new post at the same time everyday and i love it, Its apart of my Daily Routine!
