do you read the topic, and the responses before replying? Options

[micron]

haha, just wanted to know. i get the feeling some of you dont. you can be honest now, polls are anonymous..

[*Kathleen*]

Yeah, I actually do. It makes my eye twitch when people obviously don't.

[ghjgfkgfk]

yeah, unless it's like 6 pages long. i get lazy.

[micron]

haha hey thats one of the new smilies~!

[*Kathleen*]

I know - I didn't think you'd notice. :satisfied: (Ooh there's another one!)

[micron]

haha here's one big one for you!

[jaeman]

I read the topic and the replies that come before I post.
There have been some very bad cases when people don't read the previous replies and it's just annoying.

[Nicolatofu]

^ woah, awesome big smiley!
I do, but if it's like 10 paragraphs, i might skim through it, or just not reply. Lazy, i am

[*Kathleen*]

haha here's one big one for you!

Holy crap! How'd you do that?
<- Is amazed.

Okay, back to the topic. When it comes to topics that are ten pages long or whatever...I usually don't click on them period. I know, but you said to be honest. Haha.

[bad_girl]

i always read the question. but i read some replies after the question and some after i answer. so.. i didnt vote. because nothing applies.

[micron]

haha i found it. your not that special.

and i meticulously read all the posts before replying. but sometimes i choose to ignore some posts haha.

[micron]

i always read the question. but i read some replies after the question and some after i answer. so.. i didnt vote. because nothing applies.

i made a third catagory just for you!

[jr0h]

i read some replies and of course the topic poster's post too. then i reply.

[gelionie]

I read the first post (the post made by the topic starter). If that topic has a lot of replies (more than 3 pages), I usually just all the replies on the first page and those replies on the last page... THEN REPLY.

[KissMe2408]

lol nice smiley up there The answer to ur question, i read some and skip some....and of course read the post of the person that started the topic, and then i reply

[*tweeak*]

i read most replies, unless its a boring topic in which no one elses opinion and quoteable to mine, and then i dont. like "whats your favorite fruit" or whatnot. i dont want to read through 3 pages of apples and bananas

[tootsie_kiddo]

i read bout the first page or so... then i get a lil lazy

[aznhunnie6o1]

I read some and skip some. It takes a while to read everything...

HOW COOL!!! A poop one!! I've never seen the "Show all" Smilies before.

[vietspirit]

i read the question and replies, but if it has a lot of pages, i skip some.

[br0ken smile]

i read some, skip some, and then reply.

[Levy2k6]

i usualy just the read the first one and skip alot of then read the last couple ones.

[Godsend]

i dont read everything.. (unless it's really short messages tho...i'm too lazy to read really long replies.

[krispy_kreme333]

well i guess it depends l normally read all of them but sometimes i dont like if im in a hurry or im lazy then i dont

[*stephinika*]

i read most of them usually...depends.

[mirage]

i read some skip some and reply. I usually read the first page, got to the bottom, click the add reply button and don't bother going to the second page unless that topic is interesting.

[xj_liana_tx]

yeah i do, but if something is extrememly long i skim through it and reply

[silver-rain]

eh, i read some and skip some and then reply

[largosama]

only in heated debate threads

[Angel_Cece]

lmao yes i do

[xXirockhardXx]

i ussually just read the first and second page but then i just reply and skip the other pages lol but if the topic is interesting then ill read a couple of more pages

[LiLrEbL365]

i read some, skip some, read some. obviously i read the topic. i dont want to sound kind of stupid cuz i didnt understand the thread, so i read them so my post isnt totally offtopic

[xTINAA]

most of the time i just read the first post obviously and then i'll skim through to see some other posts and what other people said, then i'll reply.

[inlonelinessidie]

yeah, unless it's like 6 pages long. i get lazy.

Yeah I do the same.

[inthemudhole]

Awesome smilies.

--

I read the whole topic.
Unless, like Maria said, there are a lot of pages.

[DaTru KataLYST]

For the topics that have actual relevant information related to me, I'll read it.

But for topics that just ask me "what's your name?" "where do you live?" and other junky topics. I don't read those responses. Because, i really don't care.

[sheepy]

i read it except if its 321420 things long nd i won't bother to read or post..

[NatiMarie]

Honestly, I read through some.
However, it depends on the topic. If it's a real juicy one...filled with interesting information that might possibly help me later on in life, I will read through all the posts.

If it's a miniscule topic, such as those like "What's your favorite drink?", I don't really read through all of them because...it just doesn't interest me.
:[

[nyctophiliac]

I read the whole post before replying so I know what I'm talking about

[kellyannie]

i read the first post of course, and for the replys if there are more than like two pages i read some, skip some, and reply.

[Just_Dream]

I chose of course i read everything before replying! because usually, I do read things. Only (some) certain topics I don't really consider reading all the posts for... such as the "what's your favorite blah blah blah?!" or the xanga skins.. But I rarely post in the skin section anyway...

But usually I do go and read all the posts. But sometimes when reading 7 pages worth of posts is too much, I read probably the first page, then the last page. Then I go and reply. Then I reread and edit my post, if I have to.

[Flaunted]

i read most of them before i reply, but like kathleen said

When it comes to topics that are ten pages long or whatever...I usually don't click on them period

yea i don't read them either.
UNLESS its like members photos.

[jennyjenny]

Read some, skip some.
But I always read the first few...
but sometimes i don't, just cause i don't want to say what other people say...

[*islandgirl4eva*]

I try to get to the threads while they're still fresh and read all the replies before posting, but if I hit on old thread that's been replied to a kajillion times, I skip around a bit...

[PinkTrash]

I usually read all of the responses, since i need to waste some time for my 30 second flood thing =] yes, it appears a lot for me o.o

[Saeglopur]

I usually do... especially if it's an interesting topic.. sometimes, when it's boring... I just read the first post and reply.

[Shattered_Hope]

yepps.

[freeflow]

i read the post
then some of the replys not all
i only read all when its not like a gazillion pages long but sometimes ill read some
soo basically i read some & skip some

[shortiiex]

i skip some sentences because there are som many words that it confuses me

[lylbabyblooz]

i read most of the replies but not if it`s like 2+ pages.

[angel-roh]

Yeah, I actually do. It makes my eye twitch when people obviously don't.

I remember when you posted a 1000th post topic... I thought you were spamming by getting as many post for your post by posting few sentences... I don't know if I'm wrong about that, but yeah heh


anyways... I post a post because I love reading the topics and responding it back. I thought createblog was safer than xanga. I always loved leaving comments to the person I didn't know. Even if they wrote a 4 paragraph entry, I still read them because I loved reading and responding. But then again, they left me bad comments saying stuff like "I don't know you b*tch. So don't come to my xanga again" I thought it was kinda rude cause I was just helping....... I guess there are lots of rude and grumpy people out there? Anyways when I posted a post here, there wasnt that many grumpy people? ehh >.<;; well actually there are lots of grumpy people here hahaha like as in they dont have the same opinion as you do and they talk bad about you >.<;; but i dont mind haha i think?

but sometimes... when i get like 8221... and i need to go to bed, i hate when theres an odd number in the end. so i try to post fast by making up to 8230..like that hehe. but it doesnt mean that i spammed. i didnt leave like "uhh..okay" or like "ok" or like "um.." or like putting an emoticon.. hmm i've just realized that there are some mods who are like that... lol

[xsweetxcandyx]

well i don't read all of them... i read like the first couple of pages

[LeSLiE]

I read the topic.. And sometimes I read the replies.. unless I'm in a hurry or I'm feeling lazy

honestly, i read some, skip some, and then reply. but it depends on the topic, if im very interested then its a different story

[toodlepops.]

i read most of them. but not all.

[whomps]

Most of the time.. if I want to see other people's opinions. Whoa did we get new smileys? Whoaaaaaa cool. Haha XD Like for this, I'm not going to read all the replies. I mean, it's either yes or no or sometimes soooo..

[dani41790]

i read all of it and then reply unless the topic is like 10 pages long or something

[sammehmyst]

Eh.. I read them. Usually the first 2 pages of posts.. if there's more pages then I get lazy and dont read the rest. Then I post. ^^

[miss barnes]

if its like 1 page then i will read them all of if its a topic that im really interested in. For the ones w/ 6+ pages, i read the first page then type my response & when it comes up on the last page, read the last page

[xbr0kensmil3]

i read the topic and the comments. i read the first few comments in the first page but if there's more i ain't reading all that.

[HelloSunshine]

i read most of them...but not all if it's alot of pages....i read all of them sometimes, though

[Euphoria Rose]

I read everything, and I'm not lying either. If the topic is interesting I'll read everything even if it had like ten pages. But if it's one of those 'What's your favorite blah blah blah...' I read the first couple of pages.

[xGlovex]

Yes I Do But If its Like Long Long Long I Dont
Also, I Love That Big Smilie Micron!

[*FreeStickers*]

I read most of the replies, unless there aren't that many. If there aren't that many, I read them all.

[*x____duckii*]

It depends. If the topic is really long, then I just reply without reading.

[1--GIRL]

Ooohhhhh new smilies... ah... :satisfied:

I read a couple before i post anything

[*salcha*]

i read the first two/three pages then i respond

[HongKongDong]

I read the title then I respond... but if I can't really make a response from the title alone I would read the few last post... if I still cant make one I would read the topic

[Chaos13]

at times i do and dont.

[lovescream]

Yes. If it's like.. 3+ Pages then no. I ain't gonna read all that. Maybe just the first page. But if it's 2 pages, yes. All.

[`SWTWiNKLE3YES]

i read the first two pages and then i reply.

[heyyfrankie]

i always read all of topic post and then if the topic is REALLYYY intersting...than i will usually read all the replies unless it's like 32843 pages.

[BrokenDream]

I sometimes read and skip, read and skip, and yadda yadda. it depends. like one of those advertising topics, I don't read at all, I just tell them they are advertising, or spamming - stop like that.

[YourSuperior]

I usually do read the responses also before replying, but if there are like 20 pages of repsonses, then no I don't.

[PiGo]

I read all the posts unless its like a million pages long, and I find it annoying when you can really tell that people don't.

[SillyCourtney]

I usually just read some and skip some if it's a topic with like 12 pages and it's something like "do you have..", "what's your favorite..", or "have you ever..". But, if I'm really interested in the topic, I will read all the pages, no matter how many it has. And some other topics I read all the pages of, because they could contain information that I might need.

[yupimchuck]

i usually read the topic. then reply. but if i feel good, then maybe ill read a few-all responses.

[KERP1UNK]

I always read the topic of course, and the whole first page of replies. If it's more than a few pages long, then I just post!!

[JoJo_x]

i read some...and skip some..then reply..

[SMiLEEFORMEE]

i read a few random ones then post

[sunniedayz]

read maybe first 3 and then post.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

i read some skip some then reply.

[[Mediocre]Artist]

I'll read the first page or the last few posts before mine. I'm not gonna read 10 pages of responses though, because I'll forget what I was there to post anyway.

[*anubis*]

haha here's one big one for you!

wow.

someone had a lot of free time, yes?

[Levy2k6]

i just read the last page and comment. lol

[azn_punk]

i read the whole topic unless its real long

[parallel]

I read some, skip some, then reply. Or whatever.
Sometimes I just read every comment. But that's only if the topic is juicy.

[sweet x sorrow]

If the topic has a catchy title
or a word or two that lures me in
then I'll read like the whole post
and post up my opinion if I have
anything to say which usually I do.
But for the rest of the topics, I just
read what it has to say and move on
to another section.

[Paradox of Life]

In debate I try to read as much as I can, but on anything else, usually I won't read EVERYTHING. A lot of times I do read everyting just because I want to see other peoples' responses.

[*danielle_x3*]

i read some, skip some.
in debate, however i read everything

[*incoherent*]

it really depends. if theres over 3 pages...then no, unless its something like the "riddle me this" page where i could get help.

[Teesa]

I definitely read what the topic's about...most of the time :) I have had to edit my posts a few times. But I really don't read all the responses if they exceed a few pages.

[Aestuarium]

topic and some posts

I wouldn't know what to say otherwise

[rAwritsgWeg]

well ya i do cuz if i dont i wont completly understand what i should say or what the topic is actually about

[katssso]

of course i read or else i dunno what im replying about

[fatal emotions]

I read the topic, then read a few comments.... then I comment myself.. It doesn't take that much time that way.

[HongKongDong]

If its only a few pages (1-4) I usually do, if its more like (6-8) I only read the last two, but if I don't understand whats going on I read a couple more until I get the gist.

[Looow]

haha here's one big one for you!

WOW

Hmm usually I do read all the post.
