The Second page: where threads go to die? (poll)

[Agent Oracle]

It's funny how often we talk about ressurection, animating dead and whatnot, only to allow our own to slip by the wayside. I'm talking, of course, about the second page here on the EN world forum. It dosnt take much to loose a thread to the second page... a new OOtS, a random troll, something funny, and you can watch in disbelief as your thread plummets from page 1 to page 2, to page 3, often in less than a day.

Where's the "I sometimes go to the second page." choice?

Quite!

Where is the "what happens to threads that end up in Meta?" choice.

In the spirit of many recent polls, my answer is "yes."

I go to the second page, especially if I've noticed the lower threads are still pretty recent.

Chances are, I've posted on a thread on the second page, and I found the thread interesting. So, I'll want to find it and see if there any more replies.

This is pretty much what I do, the occasional times that I browse through the Forusm.

If nothing really interests me on the first page, I’ll look at the second page. Every once in a while I'll remember reading a post where somebody said something brain-dead-foolish, but I didn’t feel like typing up a response to it myself. When I remember these special moments, I’ll check back several pages just to see if anyone else unwittingly stepped up to the plate on my behalf.

I never go to page 2 unless I'm looking for something specific, and then it's usually in the rules forum. In fact, I very seldom go to the *1st* page. I'll check out the "latest forum topics" from the main page at least once a day, and subscribe to threads that are interesting to me.

Edit: I also try to vote in the featured poll now and then, which is another entry into the forums.

I'm subscribed to most of the forums to receive a daily email listing every new and updated thread from the day. I never check page 2, but I always see all of the threads that would be on it. I didn't vote.
