Do you read beyond the first page of any/all of the forums? Or do you just let threads cross over to the “other side” never to be seen again?

Hey isn’t that so-and-so’s thread over there by Carol Anne? No, Carol Anne, don’t let the thread go into light! Don’t look at the light! Come baaaaack! Noooooo! Carol Annnne!

I let them go, and find peace. Once they pass to the other side, they fall beyuond the sight of mortals. To venture after them is to seek that which should not be found. Let them be buried by the sands of time…

Except for the Wally Tries Cybersex thread, which should be bumped every once in a while. God, that’s great.

I make it a point to read every title in General Questions at least once. IMHO and MPSIMS, not so much. For the others, it’s a non-issue. I do wish that if there were only 3 or 7 red envelopes on page 2, that they’d show you all of them at once. But, I suppose I’ll not have a grounds on which to complain until after I’ve written my own message board software.

I always look at all the new threads on GQ, but onthe others, unless I’m looking for a specific thread, forget about it. As it is, MPSIMS can already eat an hour or two easily.
