Subject: A question for y'all

Okay, here is something i'm very curious to find out. I've noticed some people can come up with something to say on like every topic here at the good ol' forums. For me, I have to be atleast remotely interested in the topic to reply to it. Which makes me wonder why I read so many if I'm only going to reply to like 3% of them.

So here's my question: What determines which topics you reply on?

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

If it's on the front page, and within the first ten topics, I usually reply to those. I make exceptions if I have something important to say or add, or something funny.

Random number scrol across my mainframe and send in a code that leads me to a sutable topic.

Does this one qualify?

i reply to ones that interest me and ones where people say bad things so i can be a mod wannabe and tell them "dont do that" or "you will get banned" yet it saddens me that i can do nothing about it

I usually reply to short, new topics. If it's over three pages long then it's almost impossible to join the discussion with some sort of new information.

I reply when I have something useful or completely not useful to say. But never in between.

Hmm... I guess I just screwed that up.

I reply if I care, or feel like making someone look foolish. Not that hard around there parts I might add. ^_-

Usually has to be on the front and look impressive with a good title that gets my attention.Or just when i do thread sweeps and read through all and reply to what I think deserves it.

Why do people only say "yar" after I say "yar"? "Yar" is property of GreenChief! Don't touch.

An axon is an extension of nerve cell.

Oh, I think I get it... Heh, heh.

I usually reply to topics if I agree/disagree on the topic, or have something to add or have a funny remark about it. If a person breaks his/her leg or gets dumped by his girlfriend I give them my sympathetic quote: "Sucks for you"
