Do you ever go into threads because a member you like was in it?

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

I don't run into a thread simply because a member I like posts in it. Unless the topic is something I'd care about seeing their response to. My list, in alphabetical order, goes like this.

• Blue
• Doctor XFizzle
• Flare
• Fluttershy
• Hayze
• Jokuc
• Jonke
• NewCalamity
• Pinkazoid
• Shankveld
• Thereisnospoon
• Tom the Diamond

That's not to say I don't care about your posts if you aren't on this list, but these users tend to catch my eye a little more often.

 

Not to mention I stalk a few of these members.

[Mason 2]

I do this on other forums, especially when I can't decide where to go for myself.

[Anonymous~ 588]

In the past, I did that a lot. I still do it now, but less frequently, I just look for threads rather than looking for my friends that posted in threads.

[Filly Pinkie Pie 208]

If I see that Pinkazoid, Jokuc, or....

nopony else...

posted there, my hand cringes to go click.

[Lily_Mae 36]

Not really. I go to threads which pique my interest; not because of someone else being in it.

[One 498]

No...I don't know anyone here because im new

[Lily_Mae 36]

No...I don't know anyone here because im new

 

Can't say I'm new here but I'm not that active here so...people here...they're still strangers to me except a two or three people.

[Nightfall 3,950]

Am I the only one refreshing to see if someone mentions you? xD

 

That's also my problem. XD

 

Sometimes I do, but I check the topic title first.

 

Bingo. Flare got that for me.

But I mostly go in because I'm curious, not just another user... or to see how someone rated me/my OCs...

Do it all the time. Chaotic Dischord is my stalking target N1

[Killian Jones 2,653]

I do not, I look at the thread title, read the original post, if they are interesting to me, I will go through all of the posts made by everyone, and see if I can bring something interesting to that thread. I don't want to derp and write the same thing someone else said already, or atleast not say something that has already been said without expanding on it, or refuting it. Then I will wall my text.

 

Although I do see trends of certain people making good and worthwhile points, which make threads more interesting. But sometimes I just ignore who posted and make my point myself. Although I doubt many read my posts though.

[Retro*Derpy 3,081]

No I usually don't, I just run through the back pages of the general discussion tell I find a thread that seems interesting, or something good pops up on the main page. Though I will say whenever someone mentions me, I than would say I go into the thread just because of them

[Hyper Tumble 1,483]

I'll do this, as well as if it is one of my friends. I also sometimes accidentally join in on other threads because I see that someone I know commented last, and I think he created the thread.

[Evilshy 5,089]

I follow DusK into political threads. I've been trying to stay out of political discussion for the most part, but even if I don't always agree with him, I like watching him argue. It's entertaining.

[Guest]

Nah, I simply browse whatever topic happens to pique my interest and respond if I have something to say. I do have my favorite and not-so-favorite members though *cough*.

[Sweet Dreams 1,893]

Actually, I've never really done that before. If it's an art thread with heaps of posts, then I'll go in it. If it's an interesting topic, then I'll post there. But a member I like? Never really paid much attention before.

[Betez 1,734]

I'll admit it. I'll occasionally do this. But most of the time I'll just take a chance and go into it, not because someone I like is in it, but because, well I don't know. Maybe I'll actually be interested in it.

[Mzukiller 233]

I usually do the inverse, I enter a thread for a member I dislike so that I can counter them. Without creating an argument of course.

[Scootalove 10,684]

Usually I do. I like a lot of members, while some members don't like me. But, I usually just lurk around threads when I am bored and threads entertain me sometimes.

[Ashley 2,427]

Nope.

I get dragged in by the title.

Although I have to agree with @@Evilshy, I do enjoy watching DusK argue things, quite entertaining

[duidamasterXD 9,626]

I stalk the heck out of a few people on here. The list has grown over time. Also, I'm pretty sure some of them are stalking me too, so it all evens out

[Nature's Spell 526]

I pretty much go into and comment on any thread I find interesting. If we're friends or I like what you say even better. Most ponies here have great ideas and are very insightful.

[MeanBlackHawk 147]

I stalk a lot of people on here, but for me I might go in and look at the thread but I might not post anything.  If I have nothing to contribute I usually go back out into the index and wait for things to happen. :3

[Inactive01 5,298]

Any post involving Zygen, DJ-BRONI3, Thereisnospoon, and Blue I would always traverse. They always have something neat and interesting to say.

 

Any thread involving musical analysis I will jump at it instantly.

 

That's... about it haha.

[Winterbass 763]

I do, there're 3 members on the forums that always have very interesting things to say and I always want to check it out if I happen to come across a thread with them being the latest poster. Not that I only have eye for their posts, I skim through a complete thread unless there're more than 5 pages (I'm a fast reader). But theirs are always the ones that makes me check out a thread that seemed a bit uninteresting to me at first.

[Mutemutt 772]

Yeah, there are five or so members whose posts I just have to read when I see them as the latest post in a thread. So I often get drawn into threads that I had no intention of posting in just to read their post(s). I usually don't end up posting in those threads even after getting drawn to them though.
