WC is my home board and I post here off and on. I lurk very occasionally on ML and CEP when I'm bored and have some extra time. I barely have time to post here lately!
I lurk on all the boards since I always click on new topics when I log on. MMM is the only board I feel comfortable posting. I like lurking CEP and ML. I also check out the ootd and bootd on all boards. If I dressed DD in the mornings I would post in a bootd thread somewhere.
I am sure this is not an innovative opinion but I did like lurking more on CEP when there were more moderate / somewhat conservative view points expressed. Like when y4m posted more, and maybe a few others (LoveTrains?). I am not a policy wonk myself and I like to use the board to educate myself but it often seems to float into liberal one upsmanship these days. And I'm very aware if I popped in with a less liberal opinion that I was 100% prepared to defend to the ends of the earth it would not end well.
This is exactly why I prefer this board and only read that one. I think what is missing over there is the belief that is ok to agree to disagree. I might be more willing to post an opinion that goes against the grain if I felt that there was more openness in general and tolerance for opposing viewpoints. Instead it becomes a pile on about how stupid you are for having that particular pov and then later demands about why you aren't answering every post with supporting evidence. I don't have three hours to defend an opinion I only partially care about anyway. And then too, some posters seem more interested in getting "likes" with quippy one liners than actually having a dialogue (the whole "like" thing is kind of juvenile IMO). This a problem everywhere on GBCN but less so on this board.

Like many of you, MMM, CEP, ML, and sometimes MM. I am trying to post more, but tend to feel most comfortable with more serious and slower moving threads. I used to read H&F and GotP, but two babies in 2 years has made me less fitness oriented, at least for now, and the baby making is DONE. I learned a lot from those boards, though.
If Book Club and Entertainment were more active, I would probably post there because I like those things. But there are enough reading and TV-related posts elsewhere on GBCN, so it's fine that they're not.
CEP, MMM and then MM if nothing is happening on those boards though.
I lurk more than post on CEP these days though and it makes me sad. No fault but my own of course.
Sometimes I just can't get it up for the same shit we did in 2008, 2012, and now. And if I have to see another post about "libs and cons on the board," I might go insane.
Almost exclusively MMM. I started on MM around 2007 but have barely gone back since the mass exodus from that other place. ML I lurk very occasionally but it seems very cliquey/mean girl and that turns me off. CEP I find fascinating but can't keep up. And I'm a bit more conservative than this board so assuming CEP skews the same way. Oh, GotP occasionally for specific questions about being KU.
