Do you read all your replies?

When you are on the forum and you make a thread do you read through all the replies? I have to say that generally I do read through all of them. Unless one of my topics goes through the roof popular. Which never happens. :(

What about you guys?

Yeah, I pretty much do to get a hold of everyone's opinions.

DID YOU READ THIS?!?!

If I make a thread, I definitely read through every comment in it, even if it has 261 comments or more.

I ALWAYS read my replies. All five of them or so!

Of course, but i rarely start topics

Always. Since I made the thread to hear people's thoughts. What the point of not reading through them?

The only time I don't is when somebody @replies me in my own blog. At that point, I delete that message and just stare angrily at the offending party.

Yup.

Absolutely.

I unticked the box which makes you get a PM every time someone @replies to you, so no. I don't see many of them.

I just noticed this is about topics. I don't make topics so no to that as well!

Of course, why would I start a topic if I didn't want to hear peoples responses?

The only time I don't is when somebody @replies me in my own blog. At that point, I delete that message and just stare angrily at the offending party.

This is only half a joke. I got stared at once.

Yeah, I read replies.

Yes, but my threads are generally too specific to get a ton of replies.

Indeed. What's the point of making a thread if you don't read what people reply? I will admit to skipping over some walls of text if the person is just being a douche or trying to derail the topic, but yes I read them all.

What's fun is to go back to old threads you had made and see people bumped it months after you had made it and started more discussion. Or having your thread be linked to as the source for a fix for some game work around like a thread I made about Skyrim mods not working over here. Look at all of those views! I have had several threads like that over the years, one even became news on a few websites, but that is the most recent one. Always makes ya feel proud.

This and I read all my comments. I try to reply to all of them but sometimes it isn't necessary. Like what I did to FluxWaveZ, feel free to not reply.

read me

Every thread I ever make only gets like two responses (cause none of you gosh darn kids go to the Crusader kings forums!), so ya I do. If I'm making a thread I'm looking for input, so of course.

I do but the only problem is you have to go back and look yourself to see if anyones replied and I feel like some lonely stalker constantly having to check back to the thread, it would be nice if you got a message in your inbox every time someone responded to your thread, whether they @ replied you or not.

I would say yes, but I'm pretty sure I haven't read all the replies in the anime discussion thread.

Yes I do. Since I made the topic, I'm obviously interested in what you guys have to say, so I read the responses.

I don't post enough in general, but when I do I tend to post things that avoid any sort of confrontation, which considering 90% of internet posting tends to be based around arguing, doesn't get me a ton of replies.

When I do a get a reply, I'll read them all, certainly.

As a rule, I don't make threads. But I probably would read the responses until I got bored of the topic. I do read all of the notifications you get for @ replies and when you get quoted and stuff. Don't always respond to them though.

Yeah Im a complete reply whore when it comes to my threads.  If you dont admit that, youre lying to yourself

@Video_Game_King: If someone

@Video_Game_King: @ replies you more

@Video_Game_King: than once in a single

@Video_Game_King: post, do you get

@Video_Game_King: multiple replies in your

@Video_Game_King: inbox?

I always read and keep my inbox clean. As far as I can remember, I always respond when it's a question.

@Fobwashed:

Just the one. I only get multiple PMs when it's in my blog.

Sure do.

Yes, but I very rarely create topics.

I don't think I've ever created a thread.

The real question is: Do you?

Most of my threads are blog posts, so they are already in my mailbox anyways.

Always. Why would I start a thread if I won't read it's replies?

@BillyTheKid: Of course. Even the most popular posts will only get a few hundred replies, and most won't be directly toward the original poster. That's only a little bit of reading; so, why not?

I have 28 unread messages...because I know most of them are negative lol

Used to read them all, not so much anymore.

Yes I do. I may not make a lot of threads but when I do I will view all the comments.

@InternetCrab No it was in the tl;dr category.

@Patman99 I do read through all the posts. Though it baffles me why you do not get a message for posts in your thread. Though I did not read your post because tl;dr

Yes, I do (and sometimes I have regretted it).

I always do and I'm sure you would multiple times when you start threads like A simple problem.

Same here, except for when I'm done discussing the topic I made, then I may skim through it, but I won't reply to it all or any of it. I like to try to respond to everyone though 'cause I know if you post your opinion and get no responses it feels kind of pointless, even if you may forget about it soon after. If the thread is old, I won't go back to it, and I'll be surprised if it gets bumped.

Yes.

I love you.

Yep.

Yeah I try to read all of them if there are a reasonable amount of them.

I've only made like 3 topics but I read every comment. I usually feel like replying to all of them too.

If I make a topic, I'm automatically interested in the responses.

That would be why I made the topic in the first place.

i read replies, sometimes i don't reply back.

I always read them after think "Who did I upset this time"

Absolutely. But I don't make many threads, and don't get a large amount of replies either.

I would, but nobody ever replies to me :(

In general, yes. However I will stop for some specific ones that get out of hand (i.e. sometimes responses can be overly negative and if it goes on for a long time then I will get annoyed and I will decide for myself to stop reading; since I am stupid enough to let this stuff get to me and I can even stress myself out about the idea that I have either offended or annoyed someone - but this rarely happens and I never reply to someone annoyed so this will never become a big deal and if I continue reading it or not won't matter since I have a strict rule not to reply anyway so no one will know if I am reading or not).

The threads I make requesting naked pictures of the fellow users of Giant bomb get so few replies that I always read through all of them multiple times over.
