Favourite Website?
A simple one . . . and not even a need for a poll. What is your favourite website?
Mine has been IMDb for many years, but (for some unknown reason) I am addicted to this very site these days. Could it knock a favourite off its perch?
Nah

Re: Favourite Website?
Depends what you mean by favourite - if it's a case of the one site I would save from an Internet house fire, then easily wikipedia. I think I spend a disproportionate amount of time here, though...

Re: Favourite Website?
Well, I think we can leave adult sites to this thread http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2403 - unless of course an adult site genuinly is your favourite site. But I think most male members' blood is in their brain when they're on here.Michael Wallace wrote:Depends what you mean by favourite

I love apterous in the way that I imagine most parents love their kids.

I say. Must all threads denigrate into double entendres and outright filth? Too frigging right! :^DMatt Morrison wrote:Hmm. I know for a fact that you spend a lot of time fiddling with apterous.

For me, a non-porn browsing session rarely consists of sites other than this one, apterous and the Football365 forum.

Re: Favourite Website?
IMDb was my favourite site too for a long time, in that (aside from Google) it was the site I used most regularly and spent the most time browsing. However, this damned beast that is C4C seems to have usurped most of my net time these days (plus a lot of time when I should be doing other things). Curse you, Charlie Reams.Derek Hazell wrote:A simple one . . . and not even a need for a poll. What is your favourite website?
Mine has been IMDb for many years, but (for some unknown reason) I am addicted to this very site these days.
Other sites I used to spend a lot of time on were richardherring.com, for my daily dose of Warming Up (although, having not kept up with it for a while, I just checked in and was distressed to find that the site appears to be broken - whichever page I select, I just get a list of "Latest Tweets"), and jammersreviews.com, which - back in the days when there were still new series of Star Trek's various offspring being shown on TV - I used to rush to as soon as each episode finished for Jamahl Epsicokhan's invariably pertinent, insightful, witty and well-written analysis.
However, if I had to pick a single favourite, it would have to be my own baby - the website that I manage for the Loft Theatre. These days, it's the only site apart from this one that I spend significant amounts of time on, and I regard it with similar pseudo-parental mixed feelings to those that Charlie presumably has for apterous.org - in other words, doting fondness seasoned with occasional alarm at its unstoppable growth.

Re: Favourite Website?
Richard Herring's site isn't broken, Phil, and his newsletters are still coming through regularly to me. Here's a link so you can see Richard sporting his lovely Hitler moustache for Edinburgh! http://www.richardherring.com/gigs/.Phil Reynolds wrote:IMDb was my favourite site too for a long time, in that (aside from Google) it was the site I used most regularly and spent the most time browsing.

Is it because I'm a girl that I don't have a favourite website? - well other than I have favourite pages stored and they are all useful....train planner, tube planner, AA route planner, multi maps, tv guide. I think it's only LoveHoney that bucks the trend. Nice girlie site for the ladies there!!!!!!!!!

It evidently was for a while this morning - it just happened to be coincidence that that's when I looked at it for the first time in ages.Sue Sanders wrote:Richard Herring's site isn't broken, Phil
What is it with this "I'm a girl" non sequitur? You might as well say "I'm a girl so I live in Whitstable" or "I'm a girl so I like Countdown", both of which would have equally little relevance (i.e. zero) to your sex.Is it because I'm a girl that I don't have a favourite website?

Re: Favourite Website?
I've blatantly whored my writing on this site before (as well as on Countdown), but one more time won't hurt. I spend most of my internet time on Uncyclopedia, a comedy version of wikipedia. Rafael Nadal and Eurovision are two good examples of my work.
Being a wiki, the quality of writing is variable, to say the least, but if you know where to look (such as the daily featured articles), there's some good stuff there.

Re: Favourite Website?
Not counting reference sites such as Wikipedia (or the porn ), my favourite is Derek Harrison's crossword centre http://www.crossword.org.uk/.
Its message board is pretty wide-ranging, though (as here) you do need to get to know some of the regulars who take part.

But as someone who can read a map, parallel park, say no to chocolate and go to sleep on an arguement - it's possible only the outside of me is a girl. Well, actually - all woman. wink wink! If I'd known you could write nonsense and read about people wanking accidently over a special needs countdown contestant - I'd have joined AGES ago.
