    Default Long Threads.

    Threads bigger than 100 posts are absolutely pointless. Nobody reads all the posts before them. Every one just repeats the same thing over and over again, without even realizing they're doing it. The thread creatOr is tired of you before you've even posted... It makes extremely valid points completely moot. I won't even go into threads larger than 3 pages. 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?

    i tend to stay out of them unless i posted earlier since i tend to just make a post and no one seems to care.

    Being wise comes in two parts: 1) having a lot to say and 2) not saying it.

    I am pretty much the same. I even don't go for 3 paged ones because I cannot be bothered reading all of the posts. I will stick with a large thread if I have been there from the early post but other than that I might just post randomly in large threads if I have a sudden urge to post.
    So I agree on the large threads being pointless but there are some threads that I post in at other forums that have over 15000 replies and they are fine. It is just like a huge spam thread and can be fun and you don't need to read other peoples posts.

    I bet no one read this.

    What? LMAO.

    I do read the threads sometimes if they have over 100 posts Depends on how patient I am feeling.

    Yes, I read them. If they're spammed up, which is usually the case with this type of thread, I close them. If they're three pages with no spam, then it makes for good reading.

    I tend to skip threads over two pages in length unless I'm truly interested.
