    Are you less likely to reply?

    I find that if i haven't logged into Boards for a few days, and i see a thread that interests me, i'm alot less likely to reply if it's 6 pages or longer. Most of the time i guess my opinion on the matter has already been stated by other posters....

    So, does it matter how big a thread is before ye reply?

    Was going to reply but you've summed it all up really.

    I like to read a bit at the start.. then slice down through the middle, then having a gawk at the last page just to see how it panned out. Only if its truely epic will I actually read the whole thing!

    Yeah, since what I'd reply with would have probably been said a few times before anyway.

    I'd usually still go for it either way if it looks interesting for the first few posts, then just read any ones that are thanked after that :pac:

    Yes I hate multi page threads but I love it when I get the start of it and see it pan out. Perhaps a summary post every now and then would be cool
