Pointless Threads

[Junket]

I've killed a total of 3 mosquitos today.

[shh!]

Those are some good criteria Lloyd. A couple things I look for are if the thread has multiple pages and I've never been in it I tend not to go in seeing as how I'd be far behind the topic stream. The topic title itself has to sound interesting to. I used to go into every thread to see what was up but now I just pop in places I think could intrigue me.

For me personally, I look at Post#1 and if it's too long, I move on. If it starts, "hi, I'm 15....", I move on. If there are no paragraphs, I move on.

Yeah, I also look to see who the last poster in the thread was. If it is someone I like, I usually take a peek. Also, I always check out the threads started by my favorite "regulars".

Zekk - I always look at threads that are multi-paged ones because I figure it must be interesting conversation going on...

I try and follow some threads just to see if people really are going to listen but most of the time I judge by the title and the last person posted.

[RSK]

when i'm the last person who posted and/or the 'poster', do you all check out the thread.

[misombra]

no.

Gotcha!

Do you realize the irony of your post? You said 'no', when in fact:

You 'DID' check out this post, because I was 'both', the last poster, 'and' creator of the thread.



You Rock!

[misombra]

That's another good way to look at it. Sometime I will venture into those threads (except for asians, I don't even look at that humongo thread) just to read the convo but I rarely if ever participate. It'd feel weird to hop on in the middle of it.

I am sure we would all love for you to hop on...

[misombra]

That's an innuendo if I ever heard one....do it again.

[shh!]

I am innocent.

You sure that's not just where you keep your lasso, whip or tassles?
