Luv4U would be failing her job if she didn't move this to site discussion immediately. razz

But I hope she doesn't. Because that would send this thread to an early grave.

I usually look at the title, who posted it, and who posted on it last. Then, regardless of length, if I skim it and it isn't full of emoticons and there's no giganormous paragraphs, I embark on reading. I am not afraid to read. I embrace reading, dammit! Plus, I know what it's like not to have a gift for brevity....
This one's for you.

Either the title catches my eye, someone I like posted it, or someone I like is the last poster.



Same here.

And very occasionally I'll just take pity on a badly performing thread. smile

You can mouseover a thread title and it gives you a caption of what is said in the body. I use this very often while picking a thread to weed out thread title topics that the author didn't define well or too dramaticly.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

I dunno... (sorry Number23 giggle) it depends on lots of factors.

Sometimes it's because it may be important, someone's personal news. Sometimes it's something completely BONKERS. Sometimes it's a thread started by someone you know. Sometimes a thread started by someone you don't know. Sometimes it's a thread by someone you know will make you COMPLETELY piss your pants. Sometimes you want to learn things. Sometimes you can't stay away from the Org. redface

Loads of reasons. lol Sorry, that's a lot of somethings nuts but it's just random. All started by you guys.

Seee??? Just bein' honest but I totally didn't read what I have in bold. Cuz its a whole paragraph. If ya woulda made it like three different paragraphs I mighta read it.



lol hug

That's okay. The reason I typed it like that was to make a point that it's this & this & this & that. A bunch of reasons.

I try to type things the same way I'd say them in real life. nod

Depends how bored I am at work. Some other facets:

-If it was started by an Orger I like
-If it seems interesting
-If it contains the word "Spats" (c'mon, those r never dull)

Threads I don't click on:

-Anything that dares 2 xplore bodily functions
-If it looks like it shoulda been an Orgnote
