The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
This is addressed to everyone, just because I think it's relevant to these forums, and *might* be interesting.
The question:
When you read a thread you haven't looked at before, how many of the posts do you read?
Do you read the initial message, plus say, the most recent page?
Or do you just read the last few messages?
Or maybe the whole thread, if it's below 20 posts or so?
So what do you all do?
Myself, I'll read the initial message first, then the last 6/7 messages to see if the topic is still on track. If not, I probably won't bother replying to the original topic, but maybe one of the few most recent replies. If it is on track, I'll post my thoughts, and if the whole thread is no more than 20 or so posts, I'll probably read the lot before replying.
What about the rest of you?
