Do you read posts in a thread?

[myke]

This is the only place I see fit to post this, I'm just wondering how many of you read the first post and just post and how many of us actually read the whole thread...

edit: I added an option for only reading certain people's posts because there might be a few people who only read, say, their friend's posts.

[hah]

if is gossip on someone or something i like / or an argument then i'll read it.... i really cba to read a read about "stealing someones girl" lol soz aint aimed at anyone, just doesnt interest me

omg yeah lol i only read peoples posts i know / like / that are good looking sometimes

When you mean certain posts, I'm talking about ones which have not repeated themselves in a thread which I see way too often and are constructive, so I have an idea of what has happened in the thread. Anything else then no, I don't read it, especially if it is off the topic.

I mainly read all the posts in the thread if the thread is important to me, ie something to do with HxHD etc. Or if its an important topic.

If its other things, I tend to read a few posts and see that they look the same and just skip the rest

[hah]

you need to get in there early or you're ignored!!!!

I tend to read them all or if it's a long thread skip a page, read a page, skip a page etc.

For me it depends really. If it is an intruiging or controversial topic, if it's just a boring one where I know I probably won't get any good responses then it's just certain people who have knowledge of it etc.

If I read a thread I tend to do it because I am interested in the topic. 90% of the time I will, therefore, read the thread before I respond so
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.

In Feedback yes depending if its about something that could/needs to be done by me or the content team. Technology discussion - depends what it is about - build computer threads no because everyones like

"Why get get a 4.0Ghz proccessor called the Raptop 2301-XX"

"But that wouldnt work with an atom motherboard ato-x2"

"Just use the atom ato-x1"

"But thats not compatible with the xram-1029 6gb"

Etc.

obviously they arent real brands.

Depends on the subject for me but I do mainly read the whole thread then post.
