Explain why you never check what's on page 2

[Hobie1dog]

I've been paying attention for quite some time how there are threads that concern people but they never respond to the threads. It is obvious that they never go beyond page one, as if that must be the only important topics, so I'm curious as to why most people, and I emphasize most, or maybe I should say even partial groups of people only see what's on page 1. I'm just curious

Not me. I bury myself in this stuff.

Not me. I bury myself in this stuff.

and that's why you're on my "following" list

 

[dr wogz]

I check in frequently, no real need to pop onto the 2nd page, as most of it is "yesterday"

 

[David Schwantz]

Holy cow, I already forgot yesterday, so I gotta go back and look again!

You can always tag someone so they know they were mentioned in a particular thread. I'll do that if I really want someone to see something I wrote.

this is why I'm always hesitant to create happy birthday threads, as a good 50% of the time you will look and see that the person is online at the time that their thread is still on page one, or the first part of page two, and they never respond.

My attention span only goes for so...

 

[SDramstad]

The forum has a page 2??????

 

[dr wogz]

The forum has a page 2??????

1151 pages actually..

this particular forum. Other may vary.. (just had a look, pretty mazing in my opinion!)

Is Page Two the page with the topless models, or is that Page Three?

 

[Funkworks]

Same reason I never check what's on page 3. And 4. And 5. And 6...

 

[Pappy]

i check old stuff

 

[Steve Shannon]

If it's not interesting enough to remain on Page 1, I'm not interested.

 

[justforfun]

I'm old and just don't care. Kind of, what was I going to write?

There’s usually enough on page 1 for me to get my entertainment fix. Sure there’s more but I spend enough time here already.

Maybe they think the thread is ridiculous and do not feel a need to respond.

I'm here often enough that I assume whatever has scrolled off onto page two, is something that a) I already read, or b) I already ignored when it was on page 1. Otherwise, if I want to post to something that has scrolled off, such as a cat thread, dog thread, SpaceX thread, etc., I'll just click search, and then type my post. I *might* go to page two to look for it, but if it's scrolled farther down the list than that, I'm almost certainly going to just use the search function.

 

[Back_at_it]

I'm here almost everyday. Anything new will be on the first page for me.

Or I check the "what's new" section.

My problem here on TRF is I go down rabbit holes. I read a topic, then see the related topics at the bottom of the page, and then read all that. I've accidentally revived threads by posting a response to a series of pages that went back to 2019 or earlier. I keep absorbing knowledge. Soon my head is going to burst.

Maybe you're a person that doesn't appreciate a rocket community recognizing it, and, just wishing goodwill when you live another year......

Don't bother responding--no need.

I simply close my eyes and floor it. Tomorrow is another sunny day for a top down drive to my favorite coffee shop. It's good to be me.
