Korean Job Discussion Forums

[flotsam]

When I was wee little flotsam first in Korea back in 1997, and until very recently, I only ever used the Job Forum.

(Were there even different forums back then? I seem to remember a time when the Korea Board was all mixed-up with the rest of the world for both jobs and discussions--lifers please remind me.)

Next, I found some of the social/cultural issues discussed over on the General Discussion Forum to be quite fun and started posting more--nice.

But then I found the Off-Topic Forum where I can pick on Hare Krishnas; chat about bagels; keep up to date with Cubanlord's daily schedule at work and on the weekends(if I don't know his bedtime and when he is going to the movies, I worry) and also with Tibby's fetish for tall men that dribble; all while learning classic jokes from Wangja, cutting edge music ideas from a host of posters and classic BS from Jinju. Here I feel I have found a fun little home.

The other forums are pretty much driftwood to me, flotsam, if you will, that I rarely visit.

(Well, for a while I browsed the Current Events Forum, but those people bore the shyte out of me: I don't really rate discussions where no one can form an opinion.)

So, what about the rest of you punters?

P.S. I did a search to see if someone had done this already, but couldn't find anything, so it's due in any event. But if someone does have a link to a previous thread of this nature, do post it.

I picked the "off-topic" forum almost by default. I don't really like the idea of having a "job". I'll never be a "general". I don't have any "current affairs". I know next-to-nothing about "tech". And, I usually can't afford to "travel"...

I've always been an 'Off-topic' kind of guy since way way back.

Travel is cool since its relatively recent existance.. thanks to JacktheCat!

'Korea Forum' is third for me.. I'll browse through for interesting topics.. but not that into overall compared to the two others.

'Job Discussion' I'm almost non-existant on.

...So you publicly admit to harboring a desire to engage in human trafficking. (I think I should report this to AFN...)

I like jobs the best... I'm a geek.

[VanIslander]

general forum... most about Korea... learn useful stuff!

[flotsam]

I am thinking I should post an invite on the other boards to vote on this. Those timid Jobs people may be too scared to venture over here on their own...

[plattwaz]

I only ever click on "View posts since last visit" and read the ones that are interesting...it never occurs to me which particular forum a post is in.

I am a slave to routine. So: General forum, Job-Related forum, Off-topic forum then log out. I rarely go slumming in the other forums.

I generally read
Job forums, to gawk at other's disastrous experiences
General, for the regular Korean stuff,
Off-topic, for interesting info, stuff. ie insult other poster, video of the day.
Sometimes I read Current Affairs, but that gets a little incestous with the same posters, and same themes. (Octavious, RF Refugee, Igothisguitar attack U.S./glorify Canada, Rapier,Gopher, Bigverne attack them or say how liberals are foolish; same same)

[jinju]

so you started a thread just to attack some posters? I reported it to the mods.
