I don't know if it matters how we get here. I'm sure Clutch will let us know if it matters, but I'm curious. I know that for myself, personally, it has only been recently that I've been entering straight into the BBS, but for years, I'd hit the home page first. Interested in seeing how most of us enter this site, and if it makes any difference as far as advertising, etc.
When the BBS is the first thing I want to visit - I open firefox, click the address bar, type b, down arrow, enter. Otherwise, it's open a new tab, click the address bar, type b, down arrow, enter.
A prize? I was just stating how I get here. The reason I don't use a bookmark is because I surf at work and don't want to leave evidence. I type it in each time and then I delete my history when I close the browser.
with firefox all I have to do is type in b in the address bar and I can navigate to GARM, Hangout, or the main forum index directly by clicking.
I go to the homepage first and click on the forum link. Mostly because during the season I like to read Clutch's write-ups first if he's done one.
Most of the time it's straight to the forum. Occasionally, I'll get lazy and go to the index page and read the writeups there.
