Does Everyone See the Same Similar Threads? Do you use it?

[Snarf Zagyg]

The technical term might be "fritterin'".

A term that is both completely accurate, yet also feels like a euphemism for something dirty ...


Which somehow makes it more accurate.

I've used those links a couple of times, sure. Usually only when I notice a thread that I'm not caught up on that I forgot about.

I occasionally will look them over when I notice them. Often, I've already seen them (who would think I might have common interests?) or they're, as someone said, necro city and I don't want to tempt myself to respond to one. But I will glance through one once in a while at least.

I'm not an SEO expert, but I suspect the Similar Threads tool was built for that purpose originally. A human using it matters less than Google's spiders using it.

I use it fairly often actualy - it links similar threads (and I dont mind Necro nostalgia) and it also helps when you have a poll thread and a linked discusion or for instance keping track of an IC and OOC thread in the Playing the Game lists.

This is what I have up right now - is it the same as yours?

Exactly the same. So I think all users have the same list.

So the next question becomes- what happens if you have a thread starter blocked that would show up on the similar threads list?

For science... And not for discrimination against bards.. I went ahead and ignored Snarf..

It looks like their thread was removed.. I wonder is Cadence's thread was like the naturally generated #6, and then bumped up to replace the blocked poster's thread.

Thats interesting!
Going to do aanother experiment and see if @Snarf Zagyg can see your reply in the post quote
I take no responsibility if he seeks revenge or sends in the more bards

So, can I ignore Snarf too?

Asking for a friend...

HA! We all know I have no friends. Just ... pre-enemies.

I never click on any of them. I tend to just click on the community tab at the top and not even bother to down arrow to a specific topic like 5e or community in general.
