Mine has to be the painting and modeling section. I just LOVE seeing what people come up with and create in there. Honestly some of the things that people come up with in there blows my mind.

I also really love the painting and modeling showcase as well but it isnt as cool as the one afore mentioned

I love the OT forum when it's not filled with political threads, then Video Games, then 40k Tactics/Discussions (tie)

Well, each has it's ups and downs...

I personally frequent YMDC and Tactics, but that's because I'm a sort of cold, calculating kinda guy. I enjoy seeing the game rules broken up and statistically and intuitively analyzed by posters from a whole range of experience levels and differing opinions. I've found a WHOLE LOT of friction happening too, so be wary

Of course, it's always siiiiick to check out some insane new creation. Featured Image gives me a starter...

DCM Forums. It's like the OT, but better.

40k Background/General Discussion

The OT forum is often very funny. I like the 40k army list section, I like reading (and writting) lists (and occasionally giving advice). P&M logs and showcase forums are great if i'm bored, some great work is shown in them.

The dedicated Flames of War section. *hint*

I guess I'll be the first one to say I enjoy the RP section...there are some really great minds in there that work to make really great stories...

Great Fora:
P&M Blogs - Following someone's demented idea to it's ecstatic conclusion is a big draw.
P&M Showcase - Scan the titles for something worthwhile, and then ogle the pretties inside. Rarely disappoints.
Both of these fora are let down by the search function and Auto-Subscribe (by the time I realised about using subscribe, my subscribed list was monstrous) but alleviated by Exalt Thread.
News and Rumours: Some of our rumour posters (most notably Kroothawk) work pretty damn hard to keep that place working, and I love getting to see what small manufacturers are producing.
OT: Undeserving of it's reputation, I find OT a fun read a lot of the time. Just faze out the multiquote wars when they get too tedious and it's a fine place to browse.
DCM: Nice group of chaps (and more rarely, Chappettes.).
Privateer Fora: The PP community on Dakka is quite level headed, patient with newbies, and gives out helpful and balanced advice. A great addition to the community.

Good Fora:
all the "Other Games" fora- excellent content from time to time, let down by lower levels of traffic.
Discussions: Some good time wasting gems in here, along with a lot of noise.
WFB/W40K Tactics: Sometimes I see some pretty poor advice being bandied about in these fora, which is irritating.
WFB Battle Reports: Relentless and Boss Salvage's reports make this forum worth it for me, on their own.

Fora I Barely Ever Use:
Fantasy/40K Background: The legions of Fluff Conservatives and Imperium Rules OK fanboys make this an unpleasant place to read at times.
40K General: Almost all spam, or boring.

Fora I Basically Never Use:
All the others!

Off-Topic forum.

OT, DCM and Dakka Fiction are my favourites.

The various Army List, YMDC, Tactics and General forums are okay, but a lot more people tend to be up their own arses there than in OT/DCM/DF.

P&M to be sure, followed by 40K batreps section.

My New Years resolution is not post in OT(for reasons of sanity). We'll see how that goes...

News and Rumors.

Survival games/chain fiction and dakka discussion forums are my favourites

Seconded. P&M is good too on occasion but I grow tired of How do I remove paint threads.

The 40K and Fantasy forums for the most part.

I frequent the DCM sections and the... Video Game and OT section? I'm not to sure honestly.

I get around the forums like a Hooker on Valentine's Day.

Probably OT. I love looking at pictures of pretty models, but the conversation is more or less... "Great model _____" "Thanks!" "Awesome model man, love the cape" "thanks!".. Gets really old after a while, and I just want to look at models without having to scan the thread through all the nonsense posts. Thank god for 'filter thread'

40k general is boring too. Same old threads that will pop up until the end of time "Which primarch is coolest" "Are GK OP?" etc.

From what I can tell, the article discussion forum is perhaps, Dakka's friendliest section.

Cannerus, King of OT.

Am I reaching there?

OT- preferably when we are talking politics, religion, or relationship advice.

More laughs, more drama, more mostly nude women.... Yep the DCM section is my favourite.

Hmmmmm....this alone makes me want to be a DCM

The drama is bad drama, the rest is good though.

Me too.

The Other DCM forum.

for me probs
40k proposed rules - i just love seeing peoples idea's (even if most are OP)

closely followed by 40k background

Hmm makes me wonder what the hell is going on behind these DCM doors lol

I check the showcase and this mostly

Not too sure what ones I like the best, just not the rule discussion ones that's for sure.
