Do you lager carbonated or uncarbonated?

[NOTE: I tried tagging this on to a seemingly-related ancient thread, but didn't get any traction...]

Do y'all lager carbonated or uncarbonated beer?

That is, do you (i) keg, carbonate, lager (or (ia) carbonate, keg, lager) or (ii) keg, lager, carbonate?
That is: Is the beer carbonated during the lagering phase?

NOTE: I force-carbonate.

I have no idea if it actually makes a difference, but I know that carbonation changes things like pH, so maybe it does.

Thanks!

Carbonated.

I lager carbonated. I figure it must provide some protection against oxygen, and it doesn't hurt the beer at all.

Carbonated. I lager in the keezer hooked up to the intended pressure.
