Do you follow your topics?

[Tom Snyder 4,111]

So when i create a topic, i follow them to see what their replies are. Do you follow all of them or just the ones you're interested in?

[P-Jay 1,987]

I follow all topics i make.

[mars 4,861]

No, not usually. Though I did follow my signature request thread, so I can see when people ask for sigs.

[Dynamo Pad 10,777]

I follow most if not all of my topics to see what others say about it or if there can be a nice debate or discussion. 

[Lisa 5,552]

I used to, not anymore though because it just clutters my notifications.

[Blue Moon 6,336]

I usually don't follow my own threads, but I do follow others.

[Arylett Charnoa 4,919]

I don't follow any threads I make unless they're related directly to me - like an art thread. Otherwise, it'll be various peoples' unrelated responses that have nothing to do with me coming in really quickly and cluttering up my notifications. That's how this forum works. Most topics are less discussions and more so answers to a question.

[SparklingSwirls 21,261]

Yeah, I follow my topics, but I've only made like 4 topics, so

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,298]

I usually do.  I still get the occasional notification for the Pudgy Pony Belly Fan Club. x3

[ChoroChii 284]

Nope. I just check back every once and a while.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,274]

Only very specific topics. If I make a thread that is just general discussion for something, I don't follow. If it is something like my signature/avatar thread, then I will follow. That thread is important to me. That's one of my only created threads that I follow now.

[Smarts 1,620]

I follow every topic I create, that way I can keep up with everyone in my thread. I like reading everyone's replies and would like to be informed about it ASAP.

[ggg-2 3,550]

yes, of course i do i follow all of them.

[Pastel 7,627]

No, the only topic I'm following is my AMA thread.
Otherwise I'd have too many notifications.

[catnet 9,353]

I follow every topic I make from the start, unless/until it gets too many replies or I'm not interested in keeping up with it anymore.

[long gone 8,929]

I used to not do so, but since I've joined LinusTechTips I've made a habit out of it, both on LTT and here.

[Envy 5,998]

What's this thing called "following a topic"? I browse forums the old-fashioned way, going to the boards themselves and seeing if a topic has been updated.

Not really, only if I get a notification saying I was quoted do I follow up with my posts/topics.

[ChikaChan 7,320]

I don't like to follow any topics  I'm just embarrassed to see on what people have posted in my topics    

[Denim&Venöm 16,503]

Not really. I forget half the topics I post. It's the responsibility of others to reply to them. And if interest in my topics dies, then so be it. I won't force the issue. 

[Not Yellow Diamond 924]

Yeah, i like to keep up with what I've done an as the starter of the topic i feel like I should be involved.

[Tom Snyder 4,111]

I follow only the ones that get people's interest and become a hot topic. But not much else.

[sweetolebob18 724]

I don't start threads unless I'm interested, so I try to follow them.  If they get buried more than 3 or 4 pages back, I don't.  If it's just a thread I've replied to, I usually check if it come up on the 1st page, otherwise just let it go unless I get a notification that someone has quoted me or replied to me.

[SilverComet 169]

I do not start "my own threads" ; but for those were I did a long, complex answer (to another user previos post); I usualy set  the "Follow: 1 day" to know (from my email notifications) if at least there is some activity on the thread [because I am more interested on being readed than quoted =P ].
