Which do you find worse- making a bad post which is at the top of a new page so everyone can see it or a good post at the end of an old page so few people read it?
Ever suffered from either cases and feel shunned/humiliated?

A good post that goes unseen. Because I don't make bad posts.
I could give a flying smurf about what people think about my posts.
My biggest fear is the fear of the unknown. Is my post the last of the page, or is it in the middle or even the beginning? It's impossible to tell with all these members setting posts per page to different amounts! Now if only everyone would set it to the correct amount of posts per page, which is 50.
I used to have it at 100 posts per page in times of yore, but it got reset to 30 when EoFF 2.0 came about
I good post at the end of the page is better I guess
a good post at the end of the page.
Such a waste
I am a shameless hussy and always prefer to have reply #30 over #29.
That would be really awesome, if you ask me.Quote:

I crave attention, I feel shunned all the time. And some of the time I feel like people ignore my posts. Especially when someone comes along and says about the same thing I said and everyone responds to him. Where's my praise!?

I was being silly with that last part :p. But it has happened before and I honestly do feel ignored from time to time because of it.Quote:

Why should I care or try? No one listens to me anyway. Even at EoEO...:rolleyes2
Well, the thing is, message boards are semi-anonymous. In many cases, people simply state their opinion on the matter, and leave, assuming no one found something about their comment reply-worthy. It's how things roll. We nail down our opinions on the humongous board that is the internet! And, if you were reading a huge board of messages, you'd likely skip a few that were reply worthy by mistake. Maybe you're hasty to post your opinion, and end up skipping a few on the way to the end. Or maybe, you just don't read, and happened to notice a message scrolling downward.
It's not that people ignore you, it's that we're lazy! :D
Think about it this way, three years from now, someone will do a forum search for some word you used offhandedly, and your post will finally get read and appreciated for what it is.
The people who like me will say my posts are great no matter what, and the people who hate me because grrr overrated popular evil Psychotic will say my posts are crap no matter what.

I like how all of the posts that I can't stand to read (my philosophy and opinions change often) are buried deep in the dark corners of EoFF (ie page 30+)
I'm so egocentric so I choose the last option.
I've ended a lot of threads. It makes you feel powerful. And hated. Hurrah! lol..Quote:

For either of those options I can just pretend it's not being read or pretend it's being read, but when something gets quoted, at least one person read it. I'd hope, anyway.
I see your SPELLING ERRORS, HEATHEN.
Well with a screen name like this I can´t write a message that is unseen. But I prefer good post with few reader. Short post which says only " Barret is my favorite character" is bad because, it doesn´t tell why Barret is his favorite character. It is nicer to read a post where statements are reasoned.
Bottom post of the page! I better make this good
EDIT: o wait :(
n because whoopps ! oh no I
:(
If you have it set to 30 Posts Per Page, I don't think you meet the requirements of being a human.
Edit
If this post is the first post on page two for you, you're an Imp.
I don't really care if people don't read my post. I just don't care. Although it makes me a bit happy if my post gets quoted once in a while. It makes me feel, accepted. I have issues.
