    I'm more of a forumer, but obviously I have to be a blogger as well because of my host, etc.

    I have never been a blogger ever. I have so much experience in forums, and no so much about them. Yet I know nothing at all about blogs. lol. Never had one nor do I visit them.

    Where's the "both" option? ;)

    If I had to choose one or the other, I'd say forums as I like interacting with others equally, whereas a blog would have one major post and separate comments which may not necessarily feel like a discussion.

    I didnt add a "both" because the question is which one are you more of.

    I really can't say though. I've had good experience with both, so it would be like shutting off one good experience with another :P

    "Forumer" on account of the fact that I couldn't cut it as a blog writer.

    I actually enjoy forums better. Blogging is fun, but I like the fact that forums is more user-friendly where everyone can post, while a blog is when only one person can post, and people comment on it.

    Yea, thats why I dont find them fun, and the fact that people update their blogs once in a while.

    I agree with you. :)

    Sometimes, blogs are interesting, but I still like forums better.

    Forumer. I like blogs but I don't find them to be stimulating enough, I guess you could say. Forums are far more stimulating than blogs because you can be up and posting about as much as you want and as much as your time will allow. Sure, you can do this for blogs too, but at least with forums, it's not easy to run out of ideas, that's for sure!

    Definitely a forumer. I've been hooked ever since I got on. Though I do blog once in a blue moon and with AdminBB new blog feature I just might start again.
