Whats Up Hello GIF by DrSquatchSoapCo
 
I don't have a problem with it. If I have a question about something in a thread and it's a couple or 3 pages or so, I'll look back through it. If it's longer, I'm asking my question.
 
a few page thread... i'll likely read the whole thread. More than that, i usually look at the first page or two to get a feel for whats what and then go to the last couple to see where it's at, at the moment.... If it's a thread with a lot of tech in it... i'll dig in for a little more. Once i have to start doing algebra, i'm done.... :ROFLMAO:

Probably skimmed the directions on that and it’s waiting for you to do something to push it through 😂
 
It happens, there’s times when people get called out on it that it seems like they’re doing a act cause like in the banter thread if your 3 pages back and answer something and then get the skimming gif by someone who’s all the way caught up seems a bit child like to say it. If someone asks a question that’s in the first post on the other hand it’s on the guy asking that question should get it.
 
Do what you want to do. I, honestly and sincerely, do not care.

If the price of admission was to read every post in every thread you were interested in replying to, I have a feeling this place wouldn't be as great as it is. People do what they can, usually.
 
It depends on the thread. Sorry but the Live Threads move way too quick to have to catch up before posting. There will be some repeating in those threads. The only thing that "annoys" me is when you see the exact same post 2 post down. Usually it is a tweet or instagram in the sports threads.

Thats fair. In just the last 7 days these three things happened.
Thread where people didnt even read the actual first post, just answered the title.
Thread that was 8 posts deep and someone asked and answered the same question asked and answered directly above them.
Contest that literally in the first post says ends ABC Date and someone entered after that, literally directly after the winner was announced in the post right above theirs.

If you dont want conversations? Great. THP the way you want to, but expect some flak if the above is taking place.
