The One Less Traveled By

The One Less Traveled By
Article By: Quaffer

<div style="width: 550px; text-align: center" align="center">Those of you who are familiar with Frost's classic, "The Road Not Taken," can relate to the concept, "the one less traveled by." Often times, good things are found off of the beaten path.

Recently one of DoD's division leaders offered prizes to the first five people to respond to one of his posts located in the Division Announcements forum. A week passed with only 2 winners! This raises the question, why are these forums receiving so few readers? I suspect it is just that we are creatures of habit. Our primary focus is on our Division Discussion forums.

We would like to encourage you to explore a little further. We know that you read the news on the front page, please ask your friends to do the same. Check out the General Forum from time to time where you can find things of interest to everyone in eGO. You should also peruse the Information Center listed as a sub-forum of the General Forum. Also, you might simply click on the Forums tab and browse. There you will find Off-Topic and Entertainment, General Gaming, the Tech Talk forums; and the list goes on.

Remember the wisdom to be found in Frost, "I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

Very nice Quaffer, but in my opinion, ever since the front-page was changed up and we lost the division announcement sections at the top with the little blue star to say there was a new post, personally I've stopped looking at that section, before you could see there was a new post and just click on it to read it.

For those who want the whole poem:

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Love it so much.

Why did you have to reignite my love for Frost's poetry?


Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

I at 1st glance thought he meant the book "the road less traveled" by M. Scott Peck!
However he's very true in the point of exploring the forums. As I am guilty of not doing it either so get on the forum and look to the upper right side and click on the forums link peeps!
