    I always read announcements as I eagerly await the day Amanda is booted off staff.

    I've read them the past couple weeks, but before that hardly ever.

    Because I'm one hell of a butler.

    I always read announcements. About three years ago I didn't, and I missed something important. Moral of the story: Always read the announcements.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    Does reading the same old announcements over and over again instead of reading the new ones count?

    Unless it includes something I want to read about, then no.

    Usually no, until something weird happens on the forum that I think should be explained in an announcement. Like why everyone suddenly had LotR themes in the staff. But then that stuff is never mentioned in announcements. So they serve no purpose to me. I'm not a popular VIP member like a lot of people. So announcements regarding Ciddies and new cids knights and stuff really don't impact me either. So in short, the announcements usually have nothing to do with me and have no impact on my life here. Maybe if they did I'd pay attention. But if getting users to read announcements were that important, there'd be a block of code dedicated to making new announcements show up at the top of a thread you click on, and then the announcement is marked as read and doesn't show up anymore. Then we'd always read new announcements right away before our next foray into another topic

    I always read them when I notice there's a new one, but I don't always notice that there is a new one.

    I would probably read them more if they displayed the messages when i mouse hover over them like threads.
