Woman was thrown out of X because of her bikini or top. X regret throwing girl out when they see who her father is. Man discovers mystery door in house. I understand it's just click bait but why the exact same generic stories for years. Wait until you see what X looks like today - it will shock you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rds1983 Posted December 24, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Why people bother to check threads/posts from weeks or months ago. Every now and then I get a like on a post from yonks ago. I'll go back a few days or maybe a week but don't think I could manage more than that. Thanks for all the random likes on old posts I've suddenly got in the last day. Edited December 25, 2020 by Rds1983 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every now and then I get a like on a post from yonks ago. I'll go back a few days or maybe a week but don't think I could manage more than that. Some threads, like “your favourite Xmas song” might only be 5 or 6 pages, so I’d possibly be inclined to start from page one and if I see something that I feel warrants it, I’ll like the post accordingly. If you’re receiving likes or responses to posts from months ago in the popular threads, (piss you off that shouldn’t thread, the general chat thread....) that’s a bit more proactive and thorough on the poster’s part. But it could just be that they’re catching up, we have this “unread replies” notice, so that might be playing it’s part. This post started out more interesting in my head when I started it and now as I approach the end I find myself growing weary of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post started out more interesting in my head when I started it and now as I approach the end I find myself growing weary of it. It's the popular threads, I'm just amazed anyone has the time or interest to go back and read posts from months ago that are buried 20 or 30 odd pages back. I'll look at unread replies but unless it's 4 or 5 pages max I'll skip to the end. Maybe I'm just impatient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that might be the point at which they were last in that thread so they were brought straight there when they clicked it. It won't always be that they navigated backwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villa4europe Posted December 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2020 Why aren't triceratops better represented in the jurassic Park films?
