    The longer they are, the easier they are to spam. I mean, at that point, you're only responding to the last few posters above you, since the original thread topic is long gone by then. So why not spam?

    Of course, that doesn't prevent me from spamming short topics either. That way, everyone sees that you spammed the topic and then starts following suit.

    Or it gets closed.

    Whatever.

    I don't read threads with over 100 posts because It takes too long to load ze page, but it depends if I really want to read or not. x.x

    If you could overcome death, would life still have any value?

    They make me read all the posts because if I miss a post that's troublesome then I look like an idiot that can't do his job... even more than I do now.

    Please don't use pyramid quotes, guys.

    I generally skim over long topics, and if I find them really interesting I read over them better and if I find them less interesting, I just don't bother after a while.

    I have nothing better to do so I read all the posts
    If my eyes are sore, I just imagine what is in the post and read what I want to.

Maybe if I've caught the thread from the beginning I'll keep up with it otherwise it's just a big headache.

    So, does anyone else have large thread policies?
    yea long threads are really pointless, especially when there are more than 100 posts in them. i mean how can u read them all? the worst part is when ppl repeat things over and over again and they dont even realized they are doing it! man it just bugs me. if i start a thread ill keep reading it, but if not, its not worth my time.
    ....lol
