Do you avoid making the 20th post on a thread?

[silvadel 1,393]

I was about to make a LONG post on one of the threads and I decided not to because it would be the 20th and go away into the old page without many people reading it.  Do you do that ever as well?

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

Nope, I don't really care if my post is the last on the page... people often read it anyways, and for most of my posts it doesn't bother me if people read them or not.

I generally just wish to say something when I make a post. Regardless of whether it's on the first page or not is irrelevant to me, as long as I say what I need to say 

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,329]

My only problem is sometimes I feel I make my posts too vague compared to some people's essay long posts. Half the time I don't even read through all of it.

I voted sometimes but for me it's a VERY rare sometimes.  If it's something I want to get noticed, yes, I will wait until I know my post will go to or near the top of the page.  But for the most part, I don't worry about it.  More often than not, I end up getting the first post on the next page unintentionally.   

[Phoenix Flair 332]

No.  But I do silently curse my luck when I draw bottom of the page.

It really depends on what kind of thread it is. If it is a thread were I am just going to make a joke/reference and then leave then I will occasionally avoid posting past the first page, as the whole point of the joke is to make people laugh, and the less people see it the less may be able to enjoy it and laugh. But if it is a thread of legitimate discussion, then I don't worry as I am posting to share my opinion rather than make a reference or joke.

I never paid attention to that, but I do notice when I start a new page, which is the beginning of another 20.

[Fawkes The Phoenix 737]

I never even noticed that, i just write what i want to and post it

[Felix 1,363]

I never even bother to look. x3 I simply make a contribution. If someone sees it, great! If not, oh well!

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,838]

Doesn't matter to me,if you miss a post of mine then owell. 

[Abia 258]

I don't really look. I appreciate long replies, and people who are interested in discussing something in detail likely won't mind reading to the 20th post of a topic. While I do prefer to post on the first page, or end up as the first post of a new page, I don't go out of my way to get either option.

[DubWolf 16,621]

So that one time I posted a picture of myself.. It was the 20th post. I un spoilered it I believe. If it's not really important, I don't care, but sometimes if like people to read it (or it feels like I'm just telling myself that post).

[Guest90210 3,567]

I do this ALL THE TIME! I thought I was the only one, lol. If there's 18 posts, I wait until there's 19. Then once it's at 19, if you post in the thread it will bump you to the next page.

[Snow Frostflame 3,567]

meh sometimes I find it annoying when I'm the last post for a page because chances of someone finding my post are very slim but I still post my opinion no matter how high or low the number is 

[galaxysquid 2,121]

I never even knew that could happen... xD

Ah well.

[Invincible 2,090]

If i have something meaningful to say, would it really matter how many people read it? Might aswell let the few who do read the post have a piece of my mind.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,064]

In the "What's your Sexuality?" I made like like 40, so...

[Deathstroke 1,564]

The only thing i care about is the post so no, 

[ghostfacekiller39 23,857]

I wonder who's going to make the most ironic post of the year and make the 20th post in this thread

[boiteporte 591]

Well, I certainly don't, see ? lol

 

Well, I guess, that being the last post on this page no-one is going to read it right ?

Nopony ever reads me

 

 

I'm going to cry now

 

EDIT : Hang on a minute, did I miscount something ?

This is not the 20th post, it is the 21st.

 

 

Damn, I just look like a fool now.....

 

EDIT 2 : Of course, the count starts at 0, how did I not notice that

I really don't care personally, I actually didn't even know how many posts belonged to each page before you told me on here xD. Honestly, even after all the time i've been here, i never bothered to learn that...

 

So yeah, i can't say I care, I mean sure, I may possibly not get as many views of my post, but if I spent time typing it, I may as well post it.

 

There are some people who read posts on pages other than the first page... right?

 

No but seriously, I've started to try and do this myself more recently, but i'll be honest, I only really read the first page or last page at my time of posting, when posting in threads. But I make more of an effort now to read as many of the posts as I can, and I feel I enjoy discussion much more now! Especially if I end up finding someone to quote or respond to.

 

But yeah, as far as the topic goes, I don't really care where my post ends up in the end.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,064]

Maybe me?

 

 

*this is... FILLLER!!!*

[silvadel 1,393]

It would be nice if it kept the last page full regardless of where it was instead of doing it by number, so you would get the last 20 messages wherever they started when you click a thread.  Then it wouldn't matter.

[Jackleberry 1,920]

Yeah I tend to do that sometimes; not wanting to post my post if it's just gonna end up near the end of the page. Not just on the first page, on any page. Normally I don't pay too much attention, but when I do, I kinda feel hesitant.
