Do you read posts in a thread?

I usually read every post, by that time I'm bored of the thread

For the vast majority of the time I read every post in the thread.

I read all of a thread when I'm interested because I am very cool. Only person to have read the entirety of the KKK thread :eusa_danc

But yeah why bother skipping to the end if you're just gonna then post the same as everyone else and look like a fool *REMOVED*

Edited by Jamesy (Forum Super Moderator): Please do post to cause arguments, thanks.

i read it all you mong
i read the first few then just look for people who actually post interesting points, arguments etc. normally ignore most of the spammers because their opinions tend to be irrelevant. same in teens i dont normally read everyones post unless it's someone whos gonna be funny (ie flyingjesus) and my advice is always right obv so idc about anyone elses.

so just certain posts

I'll always read most of the thread. Depends how long it is really.

depends how long the thread is.
2/3 pages and i'll read it all
but if its massive i'll read first post then like the last 2 pages but if its an argument or something il read more(A)

I normally read all the thread. I have 40 posts on per page and have read threads over 4 pages. Although I don't read forum games lol

Otherwise you look stupid when you repeat what others have said 20 thousand times

surely you have to read the post to know its off topic :P

i read certain threads all the way through, but if its like 'what is blah blah blah' ill read teh first post, then post, then read the ones after mine

I generally read the first page and then post or if it's something i feel strongly about or am really interested in i will read the entire thread but thats rare ^^.

a) I can respond to other interesting replies,
b) I don't post the same as 10 other people and look like a fool.

There are occasions where threads are super long where I will only skim read though, and then post a reply. Or bypass a bunch of pages where people are starting to repeat themselves over and over.

This sums me up too. I always have to go through every page anyway so New Posts doesn't keep showing it as unread lol so I generally just read the posts as I do that. The main section where I might not read every reply is in Spam when there are fifteen pages about who just broke up with who on Habbo
