Baron Samedi Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I hope that this isnt a spam-worthy thread (and dont think it is) but i just wondered if anyone here finds a compulsion to read closed threads... i dont understand why i do it, maybe to see if they were yelled at or something. I just think it is a strange habit, and does anyone else have something similar. Or are there any other annoying/ strange habits you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShinje Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 [size=1] I'll read them to see what they did wrong. So I don't make the same mistake, and it helps me remember the Rules. I wouldn't say i was fascinated with them though, most are pretty moronic, hence, closed. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted August 5, 2003 Author Share Posted August 5, 2003 I know they're moronic, i just find them interesting...I hope this doesnt reflect poorly on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spikey Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Hmm... I guess I do tend to read some closed threads because I like to see why they're closed. I usually don't look at them all that much anymore, but I do like to see what happened. So I guess you could say I like to look at closed threads, and I like to see what happens. Yes I do.

Guest Taylor Hewitt Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I read closed threads - the ones in RPG Section are funny because The Harliquin is so strict. I want to see how bad members have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild thang Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 i read closed threads just to seee why they were closed, plus the topics always seem to catch my eye and they seem interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'nica Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Yeah, I like to read closed threads. I feel drawn to them sometimes. ^^; First, I want to know why it was closed, like what kind of stupid thread it was. I'm also interested in what the mod who closed it said. Sometimes they're sarcastic or something like that, and I think it's funny. I can learn from the mistakes made, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amibasuki Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 [FONT=arial]if it has a weird (or just really stupid) thread subject, I'll read it to see who all said what *cough*. cuz I'm a bus-body like that :cross:. for some reason I also like looking at profiles of banned members and reading their final posts before they were banned, to see if they wrote anything particularly stupid and such. cuz I'm a busy-body. lol.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether to see why someone was banned, why the thread was closed, or what the mods said when they closed it. Their remarks are occasionally funny. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Taylor Hewitt Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Yeah... anyways I thought he was a good guy. I heard it was for spamming and inpersonating staff. Impersonating? He was a mod :P. And for the comment about him not being exempt from the rules. I wasn't saying that they don't effect him. I was saying he's a mod. Not a proper one from what I hear but mods usually follow the rules, especially. But now I'm getting off topic. I think I read closed threads so I can avoid making that mistake. I think most people do ^^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I don't bother reading the locked topics because they are usually locked because they're just "Hello i'm new" or other worthless things like that. All the interesting topics are probably deleted. Unless it's a rather long topic, then I'll browse through a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbfrontmanvdp Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I gotta go with wild thing on this one. I read them just to see why they were basically closed. Mostly its either spam or something that breaks the rules...now lately it just seems to be people insulting other people. I just like to see that the mods at least close useless threads.

[/B][/QUOTE] [size=1]That's too funny... Anyway, as a mod I always feel obligated to look at closed threads. Sometimes it gives me an idea of which members are causing trouble at the moment, and the closed threads are usually more interesting than the active ones. -Shy[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 [size=1]Morbid fascination, heh. It depends who started the thread, where it is, what the subject reads, etc. Also, who closed it. I guess I'm just as likely to look at a closed thread as an open one with the same title. If it's not obvious from the beginning why it's closed, it's good to find out, I suppose. Plus, you get to read amusing comments by some people. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Taylor Hewitt Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 The best ones are in Adverture Arena. I love to see Harlaquin in action yelling and telling off people. Oooo it send shivers down my spine. Another good place to look is general. [offtopic]I have made some good threads though. Just look at "what does your name mean". That's just one example. Now don't reply to this or quote me cuz ur gonna look for something mean to say like "oh thats nothing 8 or 9 pages big deal ive seen hundreds". Whatever.

Patronus Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 [size=1][color=700000][b]I read them to make fun of the people for making useless and stupid topics.

Guest Taylor Hewitt Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Yes Logan. You always agree with Raiha or Harry or PoisonTongue if they are saying something bad about me. And I'll have you know most of my threads are not closed and many are quite successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Samedi Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 Another thing i forgot to mention at the beginning was that many of tthm are humourous [i.e. how they are closed down by mods] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikku Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 [color=0099ff]I tend not to bother reading them. If they're locked, they're obviously either stupid enough to be locked, or I never cared to read about the topic when it was unlocked. If I had posted in the thread before it was locked, then I read it to see what happened.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Since I close many of the topics in this forum(and other than Staff, this is the only forum I visit daily), I [i]know[/i] why many are closed. However, if anyone else closes it, I rarely go in and read it. Unless the subject interests me, I have no real reason to. I don't usually question the motives of my peers, unless asked to. I normally leave that up to the authority. And I can tell you, if this erupts into an arguement between Harry and Logan and Taylor, THIS topic will go--and all three dealt with to the extent of my power to do so. The insults and bickering are pointless and vain. It shows immaturity in all parties involved. Grow up, [i]all[/i] of you. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
