Forums or Chat?

[Madonna]

It's not my fault that even admins fail, BoB. If you're complaining, however, then sure, I'll fix it as soon as I get a couple of shoulder taps. :|

I prefer the forums. While chat has the advantage of posts happening in real time, you can get answers to your questions faster and you can get to know some people better, you can write longer posts in the forums and take your time to analyze things, and you can also edit your posts later. The conversation can also keep on going in the forums. For example, if you want to create some discussion about something, you can make a thread about it in the forums, and it may go on for months without dying, but that same conversation most likely dies very quickly in the chat (most likely in less than an hour), whenever the conversation changes to another topic.

EDIT:

fo·rum Audio pronunciation of "forums" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (fôrm, fr-)
n. pl. fo·rums, also fo·ra (fôr, fr)

1.
1. The public square or marketplace of an ancient Roman city that was the assembly place for judicial activity and public business.
2. A public meeting place for open discussion.
3. A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper or a radio or television program.
2. A public meeting or presentation involving a discussion usually among experts and often including audience participation.

I'd say both forums and fora are valid.

At the moment, most of the people in chat are regulars in the forums, which is always a good thing in my opinion. Chat is a far, far better way to get to know people on a more personal level.

I somewhere in the middle at the moment, I usually frequent chat, and have spurts of posts on the fora. Sooner or later I will still frequent chat and hardly post on the fora. Then again, if there are good topics on the fora I would stay longer. Or something like that.

I prefer the forums. I always get lost in chat. That's not to say I've never had fun in there, because I have. I think my chat days are pretty much over though. I just don't seem to think of ever going in there anymore.

I should probably note that when it comes to having a laugh, I'm way more likely to have a good laugh in the chatroom than the forums. Timing is paramount to humour.

I prefer Forums though ^__^

I'm not cool enough for chat *cries in pain*

I enjoy IRC just because of the 'bo prettymuch. But it still beats the fora most of the times so eh.

[Miriel]

Oh man, I really love #eoff.

[Laugh at face of Danger]

the thought of #eoff scares me i'm just so pathetic

Chat, because that where posts occur in real time.
not some shoddy turnbased manner.

Turnbased?! If it were not for the wonders of turn-based, we would not be here. Would we even be ourselves?

I like the forums better. Chat is an extra doohicky. It's nice that EoFF has that, but it's not the main thing. Chat is good (the bestest chat thing I've been to... and the only one), but more people use the forums, so more interesting and more conversation.
Chat's nice though, because you can talk to people... proper-like?

I prefer the forums. There's more time to think about what to write.

[Yamaneko]

More time to plan out how to overthrow Cid, eh Sam?
