I just know from my own experiences when im busy playing a game I don't
spend a hell of a lot of time on forums/news groups related to that game
because it just takes far too long to keep up when all i want to do is go
log in and get done what i want to get done
I read here because it is quiet and takes no time at all to keep up, but the
actual SWG forums I give up on because it takes too long and I'd rather just
go and play
So all I do there is read the announcements and other
important information but skip over the general populations posts.
