your forumer habits (like helping Janson with ego searches :3)

i like checking the infractions log and ban threads because they provide a good source of amusement and schadenfreude. sometimes i'll see a particularly nasty burn from a mod and then check out the infracted person's posting history, just to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

a lot of times this ends up being a goldmine that eats up hour after hour of laughs.


also, when i see a forumer who's got an interesting avatar or sig pic, i'll look at the picture source and then poke around the root directory (if i can) for other interesting images. i find myself right-clicking/save-asing more often than not.


i also like usually saving the best for last when i'm reading posts. i'll go from the top (Gee and Tee) to the last (SE++) cause i like eating my dessert at the end (lol G+T sucks). the Awesome Posts subforum has thrown off my whole scheme tho.

what are your weird forumer habits?

    I ego search not just out of paranoia, but also to see if someone addressed something to me while I was offline.

    When I log on I look into SE, then H/A and finally into G&T. I go back to SE and see if there's a thread that is relevant to me in some way. If it's not, I leave it alone, if it is I rape the shit out out of it.

    sometimes i can't even tell if i'm trolling anymore

    i slip into bullshit and out of serious opinions, then back in again so quickly sometimes.

    if you read my posting history, and took it at face value, you would assume that i am an enormous asshole with some fucked up worldviews.

    I go straight to SE. If there aren't any threads I think I can contribute to I log off and find something else to do.

    The other forums don't interest me, and the strictness of the rules there scares me a little.

    I've been jailed for SE-esque antics in D&D and G&T. Never again.

    Lately I only browse SE++, I don't have time for the other forums, plus I've been trying to post and participate more here because you guys are rad

    The actual time I get to read varies based on how busy work is and whether I'm doing anything else interesting in the evenings though, I'm passed the point in my life where I can spend my whole day in front of the computer so I end up missing a lot of cool shit that goes down

    Plus, timezone differences don't help

    I check the awesome posts forums quite a bit. I think I've only come across like one or two threads that I thought were actually awesome. Everything else turns out to be shit.

    I think I like the shitty threads better than the awesome ones. I don't like to laugh at people, but it's such a guilty pleasure to laugh at dorks on the internet.

    Sometimes I like to make a post that is completely opposite my actual views on a subject, just to see what will happen. Starting to think this is a bad idea, though, because no matter how dumb I make them somebody replies earnestly.

    I also like to browse the AC, get all pumped up to learn drawing, break out the paper, sketch some stuff and then remember why I don't actually draw. The same thing happens every time Chicoblue posts one of his comics.
