Do you ever do math while browsing the forums?

[DrPizza]

I was just thinking about that... I saw a joke thread with 53 replies after 353 views. That's a pretty high fraction of people replying to a thread... must be worth viewing it myself?

 

[DrPizza]

whoa. And, I looked at that joke thread... "algea bra"?? The math was wayyyyyy off that time.

 

[clamum]

I usually glance the number of replies... if there's a ton I don't bother replying most of the time.

 

[Tiamat]

yeah, i glance usually at the numbers.

I always do math while browsing the forums. That's because I usually browse from work and I'm a mathematician.

I view 100 or 120 replies per thread. if the thread shows multiple pages, I rarely bother with the thread at all, unless the topic really grabs my attention.

I do not. I usually click on a thread that looks interesting, read the OP and replies, then decide on whether I should post based on the thread content.

 

[Minjin]

I do the opposite of people above. Unless its brand new, I don't look at threads that only have a few responses because apparently people didn't find it very interesting. I don't see the point in not looking at threads that have alot of responses unless the whole purpose is to get attention with your post.

 

[Suspicious-Teach8788]

I glance at the # of responses, not the # of views. I don't give a damn about views.

 

[CKent]

It's almost without fail in the neighborhood of 1:10 in OT. If it mentions an attractive female and/or insinuates pics (especially of said attractive female) it can climb to 1:25 or more :laugh: Er.. in other words, to answer the OP - yes

First I check the thread title, OP then number of replies.

OP is a major factor. Usually I like to read YAGTS and threads by trolls because there is usually pwnage to be had in those threads. (either by the mods or other AT members)

I also take the OP into consideration as well but the thread title usually catches my eye first.

I don't pay much attention to posts or views, rather OP.

Then again, i post in non-OT sections of AT mainly.

 

[Martin]

Yeah, and I get the feeling that my threads have a much larger views:responses ratio then others.

When I'm really bored one of these days, I'll write a little script that computes that average, then compares my threads to the forums in general.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Very rarely. Just look at the amount of worthless YAGTs with 200< replies.

Same here.
