Thank you

I visit daily for about hmm... an abusive 4 hours at least (yeah I like the BBS society...)
Anyways I guess it's just experiance with speed reading? a lot of topics are just lamers popping in and saying they have a problem thats already been long solved...
(BTW to be a little :topicoff: no1 has responded to my DDR thread so I am remaking it)

I only read threads that sound interesting or with which I have an affiliation with. I also usually just read the last few posts or wherever the "Go to first unread post" link takes me

Well, I read every thread (pretty much), in Game Discussion, Misc. Console Discussion to start things off, then I move into hardware, software, and open discussion, and read the threads that interest me.

In long threads, I usually read the first and last pages, so I can get the gist of what's going on.

I only read a small portion of all the threads that you can find here. I only check certain forums, and in those forums i only check the messages that do or might concern me.

I'm not the type of person you mentioned though. I spend a max time of 1 hour here a day. Sometimes weeks pass without me visiting this place.

I just reply my post went I think it is necessary. Went someone needs help, and I found that I manage to provide any help, I'll post. I would also post something new when I found it interesting and wanted to share it with everyone here. Honestly, it is good to know many people here and make many new friends.
