Thread: Just why is it...

  1. #1

    Default Just why is it...

    that a lot of people seem to look at open, unmoved threads, but never post in them. General disinterest? It's been done before? All the lurkers? Warned people who think better of a comment? Jaded forum staff?

    What's your theory?

    They probably don't know what to post at the moment. They may also not find the thread interesting. It's happened to my threads quite a bit although I'm not completely sure why.

    I do that from time to time. Sometimes if I want information or curious about the thread I will read it without posting, sometimes several times but not post because I either have nothing to add to it or I do not want to get involve with the thread (esp. relevant to debate threads). It is like thread voyeurism on my part.

    I tried to be more random - some results have been good, others censored by the Eoff Administration!

    I've posted in some of your threads lately - keep working on it.

    Well I don't care about your views.

    Thanks for more irreverent/irrelevant humour Lunar. If you ever make a thread, try being more cohesive.

It is like thread voyageurism on my part.
    Next time you do that, post just to punish yourself at being a voyeur to our endless debates. *oh snap*

    I don't really have common intrests with most internet peoples it seems most don't share my taste in music. And far too many play WoW and not the far better game called Guild Wars So when I make a thread about stuff I don't expect too many replies xD

    That's a good thing though. It means you're your own man - a free-thinker and individual. Unfortunately it seems that the latest thing on Eoff is to adhere to fads.

    *looks sadly at own post*

    Masochism is so 1999, I prefer the sadistic pleasure I receive while watching your endless debates. It makes me happy on the inside.

    I realize you have yet to recognize the correctness that is my awesome brainthoughts; however, I must request that you refrain from making me want to destroy you.

    OMG! I know what you're trying to do here! I see your plan now.

    I'm in.
