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

[Treble Bolt 1,122]

I honestly don't care. Some people will read a whole thread before commenting and other just jump in without much concept. Personally, I often read the OP and the last 1-2 pages to get the jist of a long conversation and then I comment. Whether people read what  I type or not does matter to me, but I go in expecting no one to read my posts....oftentimes because my posts are often quite methodical and long. I often put a lot of thought into topics that are long enough to warrant such good debate/conversation/interactions....I am excluding Forum games of course....

Never really thought about it.  I've never really noticed or cared where my post goes.  I just like to state my piece on a given topic and usually go on, and if someone does or doesn't read it, oh well.  I said what I wanted to say.

[Frostgage 7,972]

I try not to think about it but I'd be lying if I said I didn't notice it at all. If I really want people to see my post for whatever reason I'll usually wait for someone else to say something, but otherwise I don't really care.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

Never noticed that, but there are times I've been worried my post would be overlooked. I actually do read the posts at the bottom of the page more than the ones in the middle, consider I use the quick reply box, and so the last post is right above me.

[Spagem 505]

I never really thought about it until now... but it makes sense. If you're the 20th post, not many people will see it.

 

I'll probably start avoiding it now...

[Haruhi-chan 486]

Not really. XD I don't pay much attention to my post count. I just pretty much post whenever I feel like posting.

[Dewdlz 938]

Not really lol. I just now learned what the 20th post is, woooot!

[Hovershy 3,812]

No, I never pay attention to how many posts there are, but I will admit it's nice seeing my post pop up at the top of the next page.

Actually, do not make the same mistake as I did. The 20th post is the one at the bottom of the page. The one at the top would be the 21st post. And this is because the count starts at 0. 

[DormantAccount 308]

Nah,I don't worry about that sort of thing. I just post, whatever happens happens.

Yeah I know, I'm saying it's satisfying getting the 21st post but I don't really care if I get the 20th. 

[Retro*Derpy 3,081]

If I'm really that concerned on where my post is I usually wait out 1-2 pages before posting. Otherwise it doesn't bother me. 

[catnet 9,353]

I honestly couldn't care less, so I don't even check what number the last post was (plus, I never can recall exactly how this system works... ). And, what can I say- I'm impatient 

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Honestly, why should I care if my post is the 20th or whatever. It's not like it'll make it less readable or something would happen to me in a negative way.

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

Yes actually, because I want people to see what I have to say. If I'm on the bottom of the page in a fast moving discussion then I'm basically screwed.

[MEOWKB48 1,864]

Nope, I never really noticed or paid attention to what number post mine is gonna be.

[#1FluttershyFan 206]

I never noticed that and still don't really care because I just want to post my thought. WHere that post lands after it's posted is no longer my problem.

I never avoid it. But for example on the ipad that lags like fuck on the forums, then it's a pain.

[Skye 463]

Oh, I don't really care about that. I don't know why it'd bother some people?

[Pastel 7,627]

I never care about it when I'm about to post, but I'm sometimes a bit frustrated to see I posted the last post of the page...

[SCS 7,443]

I honestly don't care about what number my post is.

[Sommar 1,289]

I don't pay attention to the post # when I post; if I have something to contribute to a thread, I don't hesitate to post.

[Venomous 18,813]

I don't care what number post it is unless it's on an art request thread.

20 is one of my favorite numbers, so I try to make the 20th post quite frequently. It does not appear to serve any beneficial purpose to the communities in which I make these posts because nopony seems to read them.
