    Before you reply?

    I tend to read the first few posts and the last one, the threads grow so quick here! I'm probably missing some classic moments but there's only so much time!

    Every single post.

    I really don't think anyone should reply to a thread without having read the entire thing.
    Then again, I'm anal about things like that.

    Exactly OP, you should kick her out and join a club or something.

    Depends on the forum. But If I'm gonna reply then I usually read it all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,406 ✭✭✭Pompey Magnus


    Depends on the topic, I'd usually ready everything, unless there is above 5 pages in it, in which case I'd read the first one or two pages and the last page.

    Pighead reads every last letter and every last word of every single thread.

    Apart from roy123456789's. His threads are usually rubbish.

    Freudian slip? Is your relationship on the rocks?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,188 ✭✭✭wil


    none of this one, or any of the pointless ones unless to take the proverbial.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,438 ✭✭✭TwoShedsJackson


    The point where a thread has degenerated into two posters quoting each other and breaking the other's posts into individual sentences and replying to just that bit, rather then just quoting the whole thing and then replying with their own nerdy internet argument invective, is where one's eyes may safely glaze over and proceed to the next thread.

    More like a Biffo slip i.e. 'Daddy can we take the Massey out after dinner, I'd love to get a drive in her!'
