Sometimes.
Really depends how many pages long the topic is.
If it's over three, I won't read it.

Well, the Escapist liked to fuck me over by putting me at the bottom of the last page of a topic which is REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING, but I usually just skim through the OP, and read the whole thing if it's fairly short and I'm not tired.
Unless the thread is really long, i'l take a look at people's posts so i can see if i'm not copying. I'l take a look at people's posts anyway.
i will read the first post as long as it isn't too long, otherwise i don't read it at all and usually won't post either. think i posted in your QTE thread and there were a lot of people who mentioned GoW.
EDIT: is the 'you shot who in the what now' option a reference to The Simpsons? (namely the Who Shot Mr. Burns Part II episode?)

Factual discussion: OP + all other relevant posts (basically ignoring all trollage)
Opinionated discussion: OP + well argumented ones (basically ignoring all trollage + all opinions who don't explain why they are theirs)
Come to think of it, i guess i "read" everything or how i prefer to call it "scanning".
If choice of words from any of the replies is unchallenging i skip to the next.
And if the OP isn't interesting enough in the first place i skip the whole thread.

Yes and i do in real life to. For the 5th time im trying to finish Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Rin. Tolkien can be a bit slow at times.
I read the OP.
I read the whole thread if it is two pages or less.
If I find the topic really interesting, then I read the whole thread regardless of length.
Otherwise, no way. I have better things to do with my time then read 6 pages of people making the same three points.

No, I don't want any christmas cakes...
But seriously, I do read and listen, and get very irritated when people start throwing in things advised against. That's part of why I stopped making threads, everything just degraded.

I read and listen. Although I don't personally think it's a big deal when someone repeats something are doesn't quite read the whole thing. It just means I don't need to take their opinion seriously.
I usually read the entire thread when I come across something interesting. Have a habit of skimming posts a bit though, which sucks because I don't like repeating suggestions or ideas other people have, unless when needed.
tl:dr - it was more than one word...Bobic said:
I'll read the OP and the first page of comments. Maybe the next page if I think what I'm going to say is almost certain to have been said already. And I try not to repeat things that have already been said, other than to quote the first person to have said it.
Of course, all of these rules go out the window when confronted with a poll, in which case I'll explain my answer, and you'll listen, dammit!
First off, nice username.Snarky Username said:
Second off, I usually do the same, or (as others have said) don't respond.
I've started being more careful about that kind of stuff. I didn't at first, but now I take the time to read the OP, and read through the thread first before I post. Both to avoid doubly posting, and to avoid just looking like an arse.
You should have said in the OP, if you read this say X that way you could really know weather or not people read it.
But I read them, and all the posts as long as its reasonable and interesting.
