I think it depends on the need you want to satisfy at a given moment - if you want to socialize you're more likely to get that via plug or the lounge and if you want substantive discussion it's more likely to occur in the forums. Some people get turned off by how slow the forums can be, or by what they perceive to be to pedantic and condescending responses. Other people get annoyed by the cliquey 'cool kids' vibe in plug. I love reading journals and learning about artists previously unknown to me, but I definitely think if it weren't for plug I'd never have gotten to see what some of you guys are like as people, if that makes sense.
