I'd say 90% of my time on Gamespot I'm at the Social Cafe Union. The only other unions I participate in or at least check frequently are this union, Mass Designers Lounge, and the Sports Game board (not a union but close enough).
The UGU has always been my favoured union. I also visit here and The Elder Scrolls Elite now and then.
I've pretty much given up on my own union.Â

Why did you give up on it? You should never give up on your own union! :o Also how TESE? They were the rival back when I was a part of TESFU however now that TESFU fell into the wrong hands and will remain dead until someone fixes it, I've considered searching for a new TES union.
Final Fantasy Experience is one of the few unions I still actively participate in. I am pretty particular when it comes to posting, so it's difficult to remain a active member in multiple unions.
Gosh, I'm active in a lot of unions, although my activity across different unions vary. As of right now I'm a member of 21 unions, and at least eighteen of them I've at least checked the board this week. It's a bit easier for me to do that, since I'm not a member of many unions with high activity. Many unions I'm a part of you usually see less than ten posts on the board in a day, and I like it that way since I typically read most unread messages, and have every thread in the red before leaving the board. Even though they are slow, they still have concrete activity from a few committed users. Also, I'm not much of one for carrying out a discussion in real time, and in these unions with lower activity that is possible. And since I'm a pretty major lurker, I very often will read messages and not even post a response. The unions I'm most committed to right now are All-Out Pokemon, Organization KH, and Platformer Paradise (essentially the ones in which I have status higher than recruit), and those are more active than most other unions I'm a part of.
@Mudkip: We're pretty much opposites then. :P I prefer being a part of just 1-2 super active unions rather than many slow unions. I don't even have all red in my own union ever, and love being able to see green each time I decide to come back later in the day.

I gave up on my own  union due to the generally inconsistent posters no matter what I did to try to make things active. And my officer team weren't exactly amazing either.

Yeah, I'd recommend TESE. It's probably the best TES union on GS since TESFU died. Â
How popular is the game? If you want I could possibly stop by, see what's potentially turning away new members, and PM you a list of issues that I see (warning: it'll be brutally honest). I ended up joining them. TESFU fell into the wrong hands somehow and has no hope of ever being revived with the current leader it has. Shame since it was my first union and what got me started in Gamespot.

The first game is a bit of a cult classic while the second game was released little over a month ago to universal acclaim. It's not the first union I've led so I don't think the problem is me, I founded and led TRTS successfully for 2 years, after I resigned from there the place slowly fell apart. I think the problem is my officer team, the leader may be the brain behind a union but the officers are the backbone.
Feel free to have a look and PM me your opinions.Â
Im active in a few unions, mainly the All-Out Pokemon Union and the Best of Gamespot union at the moment, although Ive been joining a few unions that have caught my eye latley. and Im like MM30 as in Id rather be in a handful of fairly slow unions that one or two superactive unions.

If you count this one then you must have a liberal definition of actively participate. At the time, I expected to actively participate. But I forgot to link the place, and if I don't do that, I rarely come back. :P

I'm the same way, especially in unions which I'm not interested in joining right at the start, but have open forums. The trade-off is, I don't know how many times I've helped a union get started, and after the leader realizes I had been posting without being a member, they close it off to force such people to be members to post. In those cases, it's their loss, because I'm not coming back.
It's also sometimes fun to go back to unions you had been part of back in the day, and see random level 1 users who made posts years after the unions died. :lol:Â
I'm a leader of one union, which I am most active in. I am an officer in three other unions, but I post in only one of them since the other two are dead. I post here and in a few other unions where I am a recruit regularly. So, that's about 5 unions.
