Poll: Do you pity post?

[Dr Ampersand]

Whenever you see a topic that has a very small amount of posts despite having a ok-good starting post do you post in hopes that more people will post on the thread?

I personally do it but only if I have at least a tiny amount of input to the topic.

Also have you pity posted in this topc?

 

[AWC Viper]

i pity da thread with no posts (say like Mr.T)

 

[wolfy098]

no I write on small tiime posts because there is something I can say in the first 3 pages...

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

If it is worthy of a chance, then I suppose I 'Pity Post'.

 

[DrunkWithPower]

I do it if the post is really good and/or creative. If it's a Obama grrr or Cakes a lie? post, I'll watch it die.

 

[Jedamethis]

only if it's a good thread, otherwise I share out the popcorn

 

[annoyinglizardvoice]

If the starting post isn't too bad, then is it technically a pity-post and not just posting in reponse to the OP on a thread without many posts on it?

 

[Dr Ampersand]

No I mean if you normally wouldn't post on the topic but you only do because of the low post count. Also I'll add another thing to the poll.

 

[AWC Viper]

Completely off topic but there's a show on TV about mercy hospital. All i can think about is Left 4 Dead.

but yeah i do pity post. though mainly to increase my post count.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Sometimes. Because I've had threads that consist of walls of text that only get about half a page of response, so I know how it feels. Maybe it's just that people are lazy and don't want to take time to read on the internet...

If it's something I don't care about, then I'll just skip it because there's no use posting in a thread that doesn't apply to me. I do like to see threads with no posts because I get some sort of small feeling of pride when I post first on a thread that eventually goes on to be like 10 pages.

I don't pity post - I post to increase my post count, even on the most rubbish threads.

I'm striving for Max-esque fame.

That's a good way to get Max-esque bans.

 

[T3h Camp3r T3rr0r1st]

I really don't care for post count, usually when I'm looking at vids on the site I look for something with very few posts so that I won't be repeating anyone


Also what I really hate it when people make posts about making post just to get more posts for their post getting badge (that's a shitload of posts!)

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I'm pity-posting right now. =D

 

[Aedrial]

Only if the poor poster is sitting there "bumping" himself.... god that sounded dirty.

 

[TriGGeR_HaPPy]

Didn't vote. My option isn't up there.
The closest I can find is "Yes but only if I have at least a little to contribute."

Whether there are hundreds of responses, or only 4 responses about 3 hours ago. I'll post if I find the topic, well... good.
If I don't know what to say, or don't have anything of any great relevance to contribute, then I often just won't post.

But, again. If it's interesting enough, then sure, I'll post my opinion.
I haven't "pity" posted yet though...
This is probably also why I've been around this forum for so long, yet have such a (relatively) low post count.

 

[Distorted Stu]

I post in any thread i see with legit posts. Its my way to contribute to the community.

 

[UberMore]

I don't pity post - I post to increase my post count, even on the most rubbish threads.

I'm striving for Max-esque fame.

Max fame would be something to aspire too, but what about "neonbob"?
He has 17,367 posts, whereas The Reaper has 13,759 (correct at time of post)

OT: I don't pity post often, but when I do, it's because I have something to contribute.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Well I'm posting here so I guess I do...

 

[Sparrow]

I do in Forum RP's and Game sections. I hate to see RP's die and Forum Games not lift off.

 

[LongAndShort]

If i've got something i wanna say, it doesn't matter the post-count. Sometimes though i'll find something to say out of pity. Rarely though.
