operationfl Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 In a thread, how far do you read on average? Personally i only read threads that have interesting titles and will then read the whole thread, (unless it has 10+ pages) in which case i'll read the first post. This brings me onto another topic, if noone reads all the posts in a thread, what's the point in posting after a certain page? -o- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos_Reborn Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I usually read everything very very fast̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâô, but if there are over 3 pages, I hardly read them all. The point with posting is that the persons that are going to post after you will surely see what you've written, since people usually read the last page as well. But after the page with your post isn't the last, then you've written all your 30 lines in vain. Visit my Runescape comedy website, based on in-game screenshots.

Bloodveld Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I read it all.

Cypress85 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Anything over a page long is a waste of everyone's time. =D> i once saw ruby and ash in the wildy, thought it was a santa hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffleh Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 If it has a ton of pages, I'll read the first page, the last page, and then *possibly* post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragen Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I usually read the whole thing but occasionally (As with Leesters 33+ page house party thread) I read the original post and the last ten pages to get a grasp of what the thread is about.

Dutty4u Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I always read it all if it looks interesting. I don't see a point in posting if you haven't read the whole thing, because you may end up looking stupid. -Dutt Errr, *needs a sig* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giordano Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 If a thread is like 5 pages long, I read the the first page and then the last 2 pages or so. Unless if its intresting, then I read the whole thing. :anxious: "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Dexek Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I always read the whole thing. Why reply if you are not 100% sure about what the discussion is about, and to see if your thoughts have already been posted.

mikeb912 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 i usually read the first page only (note: i only read the first 2 posts on this one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huzzah Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Depends on the quality of post although normally I read the whole thing. If its a really long thread I'll read the first page and then the last couple to see whats being discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risen_The Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I read everything if I'm interested, if not, and it's a long post, I go read a different thread. http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=525348 - My Pking Gallery I'M BACK FOR SUMMER BABY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drawde_3 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I read the original post, the first and the last page. Then i post my input.

Blue-To-Die Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 You sure this is RuneScape General material? I'd think more to Off-Topic, but hey. If it's a reaaally long post, I won't read it UNLESS the poster put in a warning that it'll be an uber long post. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_tallest1 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I'm really surprised by how many people will even bother posting if they haven't at least read the vast majority of a topic, barring those that go upwards of 30 pages where the first few and the last few or so should suffice. Without reading through you're more likely to post something that's been said 6 times prior. How is that contributing something meaningful to the topic? Moreover I've seen more than one thread go down in flames because someone replied to the title without actually reading the topic and got mad that they looked foolish. 571st to 99 Fm Nov. 4 '06 - 315th to 99 Crafting Mar. 3 '07 - 3410th to 99 Fishing Sept. 18 '0726378th to 99 Cooking Oct. 16 '07 -.- 99 Thieving Dec. 29 '07 - 1343rd to 99 Farming June 5 '081807th to 99 Agility Nov. 8 '08 - 3094th to 99 Smithing Feb. 14 '092012 total - 91 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I read all of it, so I can make a contribution to the topic in a certain way, which other people haven't. And if I can't, I don't post. I find it hard to believe people just post their thoughts without looking at other peoples comments. No wonder Mods have to spend so much time cleaning threads. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dread_rasta Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 if i can't read it all i don't even bother posting. it's really important to know what are they discussing generally.
