Long threads.
Anyone else decide to ignore threads once there are forty or so posts? -Don Feb 21 06 08:56 pm Link yep, good thing i caught this one early Feb 21 06 09:10 pm Link I usually skip over anything that has more than one page. Too lazy to read the whole thing, haha. Feb 21 06 09:12 pm Link Did I still make it on the first page? Whew!! Feb 21 06 09:18 pm Link I do. Too much to read to be in the know Ironically, I usually get in the good ones early on and then they become long....is it me????? I thinks it's me Feb 21 06 09:21 pm Link 1.2.3.4.6. 40? I am terrible at counting? Anyone want to tell me if it is time to say Hi Jack to me? Feb 21 06 09:25 pm Link CrazyIsabelAurora wrote: You make many things long. Feb 21 06 09:26 pm Link Unless there is a whole page of your posts, then I am engrossed reading what you have to say. I couild read three pages from you anytime. But .. the problem with long threads is that by the time you read it all to get up to speed, you forgot what the OP was all about. Besides, I am a slow reader.

Feb 21 06 09:45 pm Link I do tend to ignore threads that big. No point. They are almost always people throwing their opinion around. This leads you no where. Aaron Feb 21 06 11:20 pm Link I tend to ignore them as well, just because I don't have the time to read through all of them...and honestly, what's the point of adding your two cents when someone probably already said it? Feb 21 06 11:27 pm Link Threads on threads, must be slow. Feb 21 06 11:30 pm Link hahahaha I ignore threads that SOUND boring from the get go, Long threads I just skip to the last page read the last three and pipe in if I feel I have something to say...thats the MM life...woot woot lets get this thread to 878 YEAHHH!! Feb 21 06 11:59 pm Link Depends on the topic - if it interests me, I read some. alot or all. Feb 22 06 12:01 am Link VirtuaMike wrote: threads on Jack are funnier and busier.

Heard about an interesting study on popular music and a scientific study based on why things become popular. The data seems very relative to many of the long threads here where things are influenced by the number of people responding. Would you respond to a thread if you had no idea if anyone else had responded to it? Would you respond to a thread if you knew that no one had but still wanted to? Would you respond to a thread if many people had to become part of the group or stay away because of this fact? Feb 22 06 12:39 am Link hmmm. I think it is more important for a thread to to be wide (substansive) rather than long, but if it is both wide and long, and knows how to compose itself, the more the merrier.
