Well I guess that depends on the person, and what they are looking for. Personally I come to this site several times a week and I glance through the questions that have have zero responses and look for those that I might be able to provide assistance for, and if I find one that I think I can provide a reasonable level of assistance for, I will post a reply.

From time to time, if I come across a pesky problem I will occasionally use the search function, to see if there are any threads discussing the problem (or error) that I am dealing with. But more often then not, I will take this search directly to google, but very often, several of the hits that google provides brings me back to linuxquestions.org.

Well, I look at it when I'm not watching TV or playing games, kinda like another hobby . I like reading most of the threads... I learned a lot more about Linux from users trying to solve their problems here than any tutorial I've found on the net...

A tad unreasonable reply here, mods need to set better example then this, unacceptable

Whaaaaaa!

When did you turn into a mod? Last I checked, I'm entitled to my own opinion. And it wasn't technically a reply, more like a statement in why I moved his thread, with my opinion attached onto it in how I feel and describe this forum.

Cheers!

For the record, I think some great threads have gone on in General. It's part of the banter that makes this site a community.

I generally use this forum in two ways.

1) I ask a question, and keep looking for responses, and discuss them if they don't/do work for me.
2) I use the "view new posts" thing as often as I can (usually daily) and read anything that sounds interesting, and in the rare occasions I see a question that I can answer, I try to help out, too.
