Since having stopped my travel on UA, I rarely come here to browse (today appears to be an exception since I saw this thread).
I still remain subscribed to a few key threads related to award redemption, GPUs, p.s., and international cancelations.
Most of my browsing is now in AS and DL forums and good OMNI. I have RSS feeds for mileage run and premium fare deals so that I get semi-instant notification when new things are posted there.
If I need specific info about a destination, airport, etc then I will post a targeted thread in those forums.

I've been in OMNI more and more, which is probably not for the best, but I try to stay away from the ad hominem attacks that seem to get most folks riled up 
Otherwise, I pop into the Destinations forum and the Dining / Beer Fridge threads. Really only go to the non-UA travel program forums when I have a very specific question to ask.

I visit over half the forums. I feel as a TB member it's my duty to keep a pulse on what's going on on FT and I also stop into any forum where I think I might have something of value to add. UA is one of my "primaries" meaning I know I'll benefit personally from what I read here and that I will usually have something to contribute as I have flown and continue to fly enough UA to participate.

I start with premium Mileage Run deals then go to UA. Will hit other airlines if I have travel coming up on them. Almost always go to Star Alliance. Tend to do hotels only if going to be staying at a new property - new to me. If time, always look at trip reports

I visit lots of forums. Many visits are for specific info - like are EK business seats really flat? - and occasionally just random browsing.

As a mainly DL flyer I still spend time in the UA and Qatar forums. I abandon UA (and the UA forum) after they stopped flying to BKK but I am warming up again. I guess it's just hope for a US -> BKK non stop. (I can dream right?)

I have the UA Forum bookmarked and go through phases: reading it multiple times daily to kinda ODing on it and then checking in only weekly. I'm in my very entrenched phase now.
On occasion, I will check ANA or LH to try to get a feel for flights I am taking on them, but it's about once a year.
Used to obsessively follow the Mileage Run forum but those days are long behind me. Someday when my kids are old enough to do runs with me, I will head back there. And hopefully bring future FTers/FFers to the world.

Op here: while i rarely post in the other fora, I like to read them occasionally. Why? I want to see the issues that we kvetch about are specific or universal! I want to see how the other areas are moderated. And I like to see how friendly or not friendly The posters are compared to here!

My regular fora include United, Starwood, Fairmont, Hyatt, WestJet, and Star Alliance. My less-than-regular list includes Mileage Run, Premium Fare Deals, MilesBuzz, Coupon Connection, and CommunityBuzz. Others are only on an as-needed basis.
