Subject: inthe00s habits: your posting day

Written By: KKay on 03/24/08 at 7:26 am

I"m always logged in so I don't do that.
Then I check the frontpage for new topics, and who's online.

The I hit "show new replies" and read/reply there.  Once they are used up I hit "show unread posts" and read/post there.
then I go over to PPP and browse the first few pages.
My criteria for choosing a thread?  Who wrote the last few posts, comic value, relavance to my life.

Then I look at who's online again.

Repeat.


What's your inthe00s habit?

I first cycle through all the decades sections
Then I scan the misc sections like food, photos, etc.  Then I look at the PPP

I never use the Show unread posts since last visit or Show new replies to your posts.  I think I've only ever used them twice in a lifetime lol

What's your inthe00s habit?
i hit show new replies to my posts. there's usually a couple of threads that i posted in but no longer care about (typically they were originally started by me. so, like, for instance, once "sugar or salt?" is up on top again i know that no one's posted in a thread i'm still actively holding a conversation in. there are certain threads i'll always post in, like LTE, shameless promotion or witch mountain, so if someone else has posted there i'm usually pretty quick with a response. if there's nothing new i go to the "show unread posts since last visit" to check if someone's done a new thread. if no one's posted a new thread that looks interesting i go to the politics board to see if there's an old argument i can stir up again. then i go to the 70s board to see if there's some totally defunct 70s crap i can try fruitlessly to breathe new life into. then i start over.

it's weird, i almost never go to the front page. sometimes i'll peek in PPP or 70s but usually just hitting the two update things on the top is enough...

I log in..then I go to "show new replies to your posts". After going through all of those, then I hit the "show unread posts since last visit"...then after going through all of those and deleting the ones that I have no interest in...then I go and see who is online, and then I sometimes view the front page and/or go to the arcade (if there's no inthe00's action at that moment). :D

I usually go immediately into new replies.  Sometimes if I feel a bit nosy I see who's online.  :-[

For me it's usually abit random, although it depends on what I see....

Sometimes I come on just to start a new thread or finish something on a current thread.

Speaking of which...

I'm always logged in. I go to PMs if I have any new ones. Then to the PPP. Followed by WoW. Then I will go to 2000 and the political board. I may go to the other sections if I feel up to it. But I find myself hanging out in the PPP more than not.

Show New Replies....is set as my home page on my laptop so when I log on at home I automatically see replies to my posts...

I will check the ones I'm interested in and reply as necessary,

I will check new IMs as soon as I see them

once I have checked everything I go to the front page for new topics.

If there is little activity I will scan the decades boards & PPP to look for any new topics I might have missed that are no longer on the frontpage.


Then games...gotta go back and win back some of those high scores that have been taken from me  ;)

Written By: thereshegoes on 03/25/08 at 10:51 am

I go to new pm's first read em and reply.

Then go to Home and see who's around.

Next click Unread posts since last visit and click on threads i care about.

Afterwards go to PPP and despair 'cause all the cool threads are nowhere to be found.

Oh and i try to go to the Photoboard too to see if someone has new photos.

Every other day i toy with the tought of changing my avatar and my sigline but never can find what i want so i give up.

Then an hour or so goes by and when i try to reply to something i'm not logged in anymore so i just say screw it and go away.

My habits are random, sometimes I check PM's first (since I get sooooo many  ::)  :D ) , sometimes I start at the top and work my way down, sometimes the opposite. I like to mix it up.  :D Sometimes I log in, and then the phone rings or the puppy makes a mess on the floor then I just log right back out.

before I log in, I check who is online, I look at a few threads before I log in, & after that, I decide if I'm into it or not. If I log in, I go to the top of the home page & click Show new replies to your posts. I check for newly posted  pics, & I check Baker's Dozen, & a few of my other favorite board games that I like to post in because they're simple. I check PPP threads to see if I wanna get involved. Usually I hang out in Playful Penguin Place.  I try not to stay on page 1 of Playful Penguin Place as it can get boring when it's the same threads on that page. There is such a variety & so many good threads that have gone by the wayside that need to be ressurected & I like doing that. I'll go as deep as page 10 if I have to, & find that there's always a good thread that needs to be bumped.
