The topic is places you never go to on PC.

For whatever reason, are there any parts of PC that you either never go to, or go to so little that you might as well never go there? Explain why? Do you have bad experiences there? Do you just not feel like talking about whatever it is that is talked about over there? Just explain.

ROM Hacking is a very obvious one for me. I have no knowledge in hacking at all, plus even if I attempted to make a hack it'd go pretty badly for me since there's so much coding to memorize and everything.

I also tend to avoid most of the creative boards (Art & Design, Roleplay Corner, Game Development, Fan Fiction & Writing) mainly because I don't have enough talent in those areas.

I don't care for ROM Hacking either, so it's one section that I don't visit much, but I do on occasion to see what games people are trying to brew.

But I especially don't care for Roleplaying, I was never into that nor did I ever understand the concept, so I can't really role-play worth a darn. I think that's the only area that I have never posted in.

All these people not posting in ROM Hacking ;-; Eh. It doesn't matter, we love you anyways xD. I tend to keep away from Roleplaying and Technology for some odd reason. Oh and I have never posted in Culture either.

All these people here saying they don't care for FF&W...

That's okay, writing isn't for everyone.

As for me, I never step into the ROM hacking sections, and the pokemon sections anymore. I know, this is a pokemon forum, so I should be into pokemon, and I am, I just don't really have an interest in discussing the games anymore.

I look in ROM Hacking Studios occasionally - there's a lot of interesting hacks there that I always say I'll try one day but never do. All the other ROM Hacking boards about development and tools make my head spin - that stuff seems pretty complicated so I'm quite impressed with those of you that actually do make your own hacks. :P

Other than that, I've also never been to Fan Fiction and Writing, Roleplay Corner, Pokemon TCG or Anime and Manga. I think I was in Anime and Manga once, when I saw a Studio Ghibli board, but aside from that I have zero knowledge of and interest in anime and manga.

I avoid all Pokemon areas. Not because I hate Pokemon, but I don't find discussing it fun. :/ I've probably NEVER posted in a Pokemon-related area, unless forced to by someone (Syd).

I avoid ROM areas completely. So basically PC to me is just:

Official Forums
Non-existent staff area (Seriously, doesn't exist)
Creative Discussions (minus Game Dev.)
Entertainment and Hobbies
Off-Topic Discussions (I don't even visit here much. I tend to drift on/off with this area)

I never really go into the ROM Hacks section (kinda funny how that's one of out most popular sections, yet most of the people here so far say they rarely go into it) because that stuff just flies over my head. I also don't really spend any time in any of the Creative Discussions sections, because I have pretty much no creativity and artistic/writing/game making skills.

I also have never gone into the Pokemon TCG section, since I have no interest in that. And I almost never go into the Anime&Manga section, despite the fact that I do have a little interest in anime and manga.

I don't ever visit ROM Hacking because Game Development > ROM Hacking IMO.

I also stay out of Art & Design, Fanfic and Roleplay areas. I would Roleplay if i didn't have to write a ton of text every time i posted. I also rarely visit any Pokemon sections, kinda weird huh?

I think the only areas that I don't check occasionally are ROM Hacking, Game Development, and Roleplay Corner. Never been too interested or well-versed in the game-making aspect nor do I participate in roleplays since I tend to get busy or have motivation issues.

You can find me pretty much anywhere else. :D

You'll never find me in the Debates Discussion. Most of the reason is because I don't do very well with stuff like this. :/ I have other forums I never go to either, which is weird because I love talking about pokemon whenever I can.

I never visit the ROM Hacking section since I am not skilled at making them, nor am I a fan of them.

I refuse to go to anything that involves ponies, or bronies. But yeah I never go to the hack section because I got too many other games that I bought and haven't beaten them or at least the main story.

I haven't visited Fan Fiction, Rom Hacking, Game Development, Roleplay Corner, Pokemon Trivia, Pokemon Anime, and Debates in ages. Even then, I only did so because either a report was open or a friend asked me to check out a thread.

Eh, I reckon that could be said about most forums on the site honestly. Well, the ones that aren't general so to say. I tend to seclude myself in certain forums, and only really venture into forums that aren't really specific to anything (that isn't Pokemon), ie General Chat, the trivia forums, clubs, etc. And while there's an exception with the Anime and Manga forum, that's about it. Though to be more exact, the ROM Hacking forum, all the Creative Discussions, Culture & Media (for the most part), Technology & Internet and Discussion and Debates are the ones I rarely ever go to.

Most of them is due to a lack of interest in most of the topics going on in there, or because they just aren't really forums that I'd really fit into. I'm not a very artistic person, I'm not really creative enough for writing and I'm not dedicated enough to join any roleplays, hence why I don't really go to the Creative Discussions forums. I do read posts there from time to time, but I rarely ever do post in there. I only ever go to T&I for the internet part of it all, but that's always been more of a +1 than something I've ever been too interested in. And since I'm not very big of technology, that's out of the question for the most part. Only reason I'd really go to C&M would be for the music, since the rest isn't really anything I've ever been too interested in. As for D&D, I'd rather not get into potentially heated debates, and I don't consider myself insightful enough on most of the topics in there to really post anything meaningful. I do often find myself reading posts in there though, since I do find a lot of the stuff being posted interesting. Though I'd rather not get involved with it myself.

I used to only go to the ROM Hacking forums back when I first joined, which shouldn't really be too surprising when knowing that it was the reason I joined. But to really get anything out of posting in there, you'd have to be involved with ROM Hacking yourself. Obviously you can comment on ROM Hacks, but since I don't really play them much anymore, I don't really have much to add. So yeah, since I stopped with ROM Hacking myself, I haven't really posted in the forums.

As for the Pokemon Forums, Trade Corner and Battle Center are two that I don't recall ever posting in. I may have joined a few tournaments in-thread on the Showdown server, but I have no knowledge on competitive battling. As for Trade Corner, the only game I own where I'd be able to trade online, but from my understanding it usually involves breeding for perfect IV's and stuff, which I'd never have the patience for 8D There's also the TCG, simply because the only thing I've ever done with the trading cards was collecting :D

And I reckon that's about it. I may not post a whole lot in the forums that I didn't mention, but I should do moreso than in the ones listed above.

I almost never go to the Pokemon discussions (bar the Current Generation forums, Challenges, PGC, and sometimes Pokemon General). It's just not my thing to discuss about Pokemon, despite being in a Pokemon forum hahaha.

I also rarely go to ROM Hacking (it's not even why I join PC in the first place unlike most people). I'd probably only go there once in a while to see what hacks are currently progressing. I visit Game Development more.

Also, despite enjoying drawing and writing as well as Roleplaying as a pass time, I almost never visit the Creative Discussions.

I lurk around the Entertainment & Hobbies as well as the Off Topic Discussions the most anyway. :v
