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

[the Jester]

You should have an 'other' option, or else broader options. For instance, I check page 2 infrequently.

I frequently read page 2 of the forums.

I very rarely read page 2 of the threads themselves.

On the Blizzard World of Warcraft General Forum, I made a post that fell to the fifth (that's 5th) page in 5 minutes! On the WoW forums, a single day's worth of posts can cover 25 pages (about 30 threads per page).

I'm not exaggerating. Go check it out. It's something I had to see to believe.

Ha! You haven't seen anything. One day on the GameFAQs boards over 1,000 threads were created in one day on the SSB:B boards a while back.

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

That's my vote.

Seriously, scrolling all the way down and clicking on the 2 is such a chore. This computer needs to understand verbal commands. Damn frankenputer mark 2.

I almost always go to the second page. Sometimes even the third page. It all depends on how long ago I was on the boards before this time - I usually continue on down the pages until I pick up where I left off last time, and the bold/non-bold fonts help me out there immeasurably.

I wish the Homebrew Forum had this much traffic. We'd NEVER run out of monsters then.

Like you need more vicious and nasty ways to kill PCs.

Yes, of course I'm joking! There are never enough monsters. Ever.

i always (whenever possible) go to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or whatever page has the last of the threads that i have not yet viewed since my last sign on (in fact, i'm likely to have to dig deeply today, since my last login was on June 1st).

the fact that so many people voted for options other than #1 makes me feel a whole lot less bad about how often i bump threads to get them back onto page 1.
