Portal or Homepage

[Corleone]

Do you like portals or home pages that just go to their forum?



I personally prefer no portal, because I've never found them attractive nor did they serve any overwhelming purpose other than an obstacle before getting to the actual community.

No portal.

Depends, if there're several places to go to they serve a purpose, otherwise they're just a waste of bandwidth.

I don't like portals or home pages. I prefer to go just directly to the forum itself and start posting.

Unless they have a large website accompanying the forum, then I would like to see a portal, otherwise, take me to the forums.

 

[The Dragon Master]

I prefer to go straight to the forum.

I go to forums for the forums. Not to see whatever useless filler they put on their homepage/portal.

I prefer just the homepage. I never found the point of portals

I find it amusing when sites have an Enter page. You only need one of them if your site is not for people under the age of 18. But, if it just goes to the forum, with no warning, it's pointless.

I prefer a homepage. There's really no use for a portal

Portals just seem pointless to me, some say they look good, but that is their only perks.
