I'm curious as to how many pages back you all go when checking out GD. I also love this poll software. :D

[img]graemlins/nono.gif[/img] tsk tsk Genie boy, remember we have a polls forum ;)
But *sigh* I'm feeling generous today and since this is a GD poll I guess it can stay.
What a nice guy I am.

He's a mod Azure, so he can do what he wants. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Sides this is a poll for GD so technically...

Well, personally I DETEST the poll software, but not to start a war between mods.... (grrrr)

I usually check page 1, and then page 2 to see if anything has "fallen", especially if I've been offline for over a day, and that's it.

No farther back than the 1st page, IW is rarely active enough for anything beyond that to be anything that I haven't already read....

Grojlach 05-16-2002 09:20 AM

Normally only the frontpage, unless there was an interesting thread during my last visit that dropped off that frontpage. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ar-Cunin 05-16-2002 09:22 AM

Just the front page - I'm coming here far to much ;)

Thank you Neb for your heartwarming reminder of the good old days. :rolleyes: Don't you wake up in the morning and see that a thread has been pushed to the second page? Oh I forgot you never sleep. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I'm with Saz...

Not a fan of the poll software...

I rarely go past the first page.... [img]graemlins/whome.gif[/img]

THANK YOU, Rudy! Someone who agrees with me for once! Personally, I think it's a spam generator, but when in Rome... *sigh*

Cloudbringer 05-16-2002 11:40 AM

RomanCloud reporting... ;)

I check the first two pages usually.

Nanaki3 05-16-2002 11:43 AM

I tied it up baby. Ha ha

Scholarcs 05-16-2002 03:37 PM

I only check the front page, not because its boring, but because of my limited time on the computer!

Scholarcs 05-16-2002 03:39 PM

and btw im glad that no one has checked the last option yet!

Jafin 05-16-2002 03:47 PM

Usually, I only check the first page, unless I haven't been on for a couple days, then I check page 2. Or if there was an interesting/funny thread, then I go further back. Or maybe if I'm bored, then I start going back through the pages... but USUALLY it's only the first page.... usually.... :D

Reeka 05-16-2002 04:02 PM

I usually just check out the first page, but the second pretty often. I just don't have time to do much more than that.

Aelia Jusa 05-16-2002 04:54 PM

I'm not much on the poll thing either. Makes people make stupid polls that really aren't suited to using it anyway ;) .

I check up to wherever there are new posts. That's usually only the first page, but sometimes on the second. The times I've missed looking a few days in a row I didn't go past the third page [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sir Goulum 05-16-2002 06:26 PM

<font color=Orange>Pages Uno and TwoO</font>

LennonCook 05-18-2002 02:59 AM

<font color="silver">Well, I found this on page 4, so... </font>

<font color="lawngreen" face="trebuchet MS"> Same for me... but sometimes I dont even bother checking no. 2 even when I want to find that recent thread ;) </font>

Black Knight 05-18-2002 04:52 AM

depends, really. If there is a specific thread I'm looking for, I'll go back a couple, but usually, I've keep up on the more recent threads pages 1 and 2....

Epona 05-18-2002 08:18 AM

If I've been away (as I was last week :D ) I'll check out the front page first, then work my way back, see what I missed [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Can I get counselling for my addiction?

Lioness 05-18-2002 09:11 AM

usually the same as Epona...if I'm VERY bored, I go back to pages 121, and 230, etc... :D

Memnoch 05-19-2002 06:05 AM

Put it this way...with a broadband connection it's pretty easy to check back to Page 5...only takes a minute or so. ;)

Beaumanoir 05-19-2002 06:11 AM

1st Page, Then The 2nd. Then The 1st Again. Then I'll Try The Roleplaying Board. Then 1st Page. Then I'll Try The BG1 Board. 1st Page. Then The Books And Movie Board. 1st Page. Then The Poll Forum. Then 1st Page. Online RP Board Again. 1st Page. 2nd Page. (A Vicious Cycle)

Huh? IW is VERY busy!! It's just that you check so often that you don't miss anything! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Heck, this forum is so busy, we are nearing 200,000 POSTS! wow!
Durning the day in the USA, we get sometimes up to 180 people on the site at once! I nearly fell out of my chair when I see that.. Thank god for the dedicated server huh? ;) -- and all of you! :D

<font color="silver">For me it only takes about 2 seconds to check that far back... I click on the "5" link and rarely check anything in between. :D </font>

Moiraine 05-19-2002 07:19 AM

Well, I don't have a broadband connection, so I usually check pages 1 and 2, sometimes 3. Takes more than 20 s to load a page ... :S

Downunda 05-19-2002 07:21 AM

When you're on as often as me, there's no need to go back further than the top three threads :D
