Very interesting stuff.
I do notice that a thread will start out then reach maybe 3 or 10 or even 20 pages, but not many "Make it" to the dizzing height of this thread ...... I need to keep a closer eye on these threads me thinks....... and try to work out who these people are they help kill certain threads.
And forum etiquette is a something that i personally will follow one day and the next I might be a bit of a cunt. Do you have any specific rules to your version of forum etiquette?
Oh yeah, you should definitely pay attention, it's really fun/interesting. I have some pretty bad social issues though haha so maybe I'm being weird and looking too much into things, but yeah, analysing threads is heaps cool. Focus on the who
I don't know if I necessarily have rules, or none that I can properly verbalise. I do catch myself sometimes not replying to something, or liking certain posts, or doing something and then I sorta stop myself for a second afterwards and wonder just exactly why I chose to do whatever it is I did (or didn't do). I dunno, again, I'm probably just being weird and reading into it all far too much, haha.
