I was just wondering how many people read threads but don't reply to them. So how about this little game. For now on, whenever you read ANY thread, you HAVE TO reply to it in some way that adds to the thread logically. Then we'll see how many posts there are in just a few minutes.

Who's game? If you are, you MUST reply to this thread.

@MODS: If you think this is stupid, do go ahead and lock it, but you MUST reply first. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Same here, but I'll play anyway.

I think that's what the 'view count' is for.

That won't tell you if the viewer posted or not.

Goodness, I already have a massive post count as it is. Well if it's a bit of fun, plus it means people might get more help if they need it or have their question answered, so I'm game, but I'll only post when I can say something useful. No point posting if I can't say anything to add to it 'logically'. Basically do what I already do (Except the useless posts I seem to make)

I generally only reply to the threads that I have a question, useful comment or opinion on. The rest I just can't be bothered.

I just reply if I have something stupid to say. othewise, I won't bother. Sometimes, a few slip-ups occur where I make sense or give helpful advice.

If everyone replied to every thread they read then this forum would be even more full of crap than it is already.
