    Default Why am I reading this?

    Have you ever glanced at a thread and found yourself reading/going through all the pages of it, even though you don't care about it or want to read it?

    I was reading through the name tournament thread, even though I don't care about it this year, and I would say to myself, "I'm not intersted in this this year" but I would keep reading. Finally I had to tear my eyes away from the screen and close the browser tab. It was almost as if I was addicted to the thread.

    Sounds like me in any anime thread. I can't stand anime, but still I go into the threads. My mind goes something like this: "Wtf is wrong with these people?" *clicks thread* *reads posts* "Wtf is wrong with these people?" *reads next page* repeat these steps for a while.

    Yes, that's exactly how it was when I was reading through the name competition thread. I just couldn't tear myself away for some reason.

    What's wrong with the name competition? It's not like the competition happens all the time.

    Reading this thread scares me.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    In that sort of a case, then yes, I do it. Just because it's sort of fun to be about it. But if it's a boring thread, and I have no clue why I'm reading it...then no, I don't do it.

    I don't think that made any sense, but I don't care.

    Nopers. If I don't like the thread, I won't keep reading it.

    I have no problems with the name competition. In fact I think that it's a great idea. It just happens that I'm not interested in the competition this year.

    Mainly because you have a crappy name.
    You should've named yourself FIGGY THE BUSH KANGAROO~~~

    edit: ok, I hate this thread:http://www.eyesonff.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50767.
    I know I made the thread, but nobody agrees with me and just keeps talking about how 'great' he is. Dammit, he sucks. D: AND males shouldn't wear thongs. No, they shouldn't.

    I was wondering how long it would take for that to come up.

    I do all the time, but it gives me a serene feeling when I do, and an anxious feeling when I don't. I don't know if I explained that very well.
