799…I try to un-subscribe when I lose interest, but most have just died out on their own.
None.
2875 but once I hit post it will be 2876.
10536
But then I have it set to automatically subscribe me to any thread I post in. Otherwise, how am I supposed to track conversations?
18, all really old. I don’t automatically subscribe. I subscribe to threads in which I have posted something that I believe may result in responses that I really should reply to. Apparently that’s a rare belief on my part.
Good point! Mine’s 356 now
Hmmph. I bet you don’t own a TV either, right?
Ditto, but I also unsubscribe from threads after a while if I’m bored of getting the emails from them, and umm, I’ve only been here two years, so tens of thousands of thread ubscriptions are a bit out of reach for me!
Zero. I don’t subscribe. I hate getting emails or PMs about it. I generally search for my posts if I can’t find one I’ve posted to, and if I’ve been following, but not posting…then, oh well, I probably wasn’t that interested anyway.
I have e-mail notification turned off. I mean, the thread subscriptions only really make a difference to me in two ways: they show up on my user CP and the threads show up with little check marks on the boards. it’s pretty non-intrusive.
This. It seems a lot less of a hassle to just do a vanity search every time you log in.
It would be neat if this board could Text your phone anytime someone quoted one of your posts. That way you could give a quick response if one is required.
I was going to say “none,” but I checked and found I subscribed to one very mundane thread in 2009. How strange. Maybe I did it by accident.
But…I don’t have to search at all. I literally just hit “User CP” and there are all the threads I posted to that have activity. When I’m away from the boards, I get nothing, no e-mails, no PMs, nothing.
It’s not even remotely a hassle, once you set it up.
2313, but there are plenty that I have unsubscribed from - at least another 250, 500, something like that.
I auto-subscribe, then, on each visit, make User CP my first page view to see if any responses to any of my posts. If so, read / respond, if not, on to “New Posts”
Same here. Believe it or not but if I’m not on the board, I don’t really care what’s going on and I don’t need emails telling me about threads.
Also, I use New Posts for a lot of my board reading so doing a vanity search all the time would interfere with being able to actually read stuff.
You can have a subscription that sends you neither email nor PM, just updates your Control Panel when there is a response in a thread in which you’ve posted.
Ditto.
Oh, and 3321.
1470, including this one.

No, we have two televisions in the house. The one down the cellar is not connected to cable, but does have a VCR and DVD player. To watch movies.
The one in the living room is about ten years old, and I think it is a 27 or 29 inch screen. Good enough for the sitcoms and reality shows I watch for entertainment.
But I don’t subscribe to threads. If I can’t recall participating in a thread, it must not have held my interest enough to follow through.
None. I do sometimes subscribe to threads, but I delete them when they become in active.
