Hey guys here is another thread from me. When you make new threads or a new thread what do you do when waiting for other people on the board to reply to them? Log off and do some other things? Play games maybe? Or go and do chores? Doing these usually helps in a way since you wouldn't know when people would reply back, and its not really good to be glued onto the computer waiting every second of it. For me I would either do some guide work, sleep, play games, or maybe do some chores to have the time pass by quickly, and before I know it a few people have replied to my threads! So what do you do while waiting for people to reply to your threads?

Simply put: nothing different than when I haven't posted any new thread.

I can go take a nap, play videogames, do some guide work, or even shut off my computer because it's late at night (and then wake up to see the thread has got several replies and sometimes already been closed). I do pay small attention to my notifications when doing game adding, simply because I click so many pages that I stay up to date to what's happening.

And well, it's not like I'm impatient for replies. I sometimes just make threads because I feel like doing them: assertions, random subjects, milestones... I appreciate any replies my threads get, and it can sometimes be a bloodily fun time to read the replies and reply back, but I mostly make threads to let something out of my chest.

EX Palen : Ah I see yeah I remember your not big on that type of stuff. So it makes sense with how you normally do your posting as you have just explained it. Thanks for explaining your ways on how you do it. Since its pretty much different for everyone and I would like to know what other people have to say. Its always nice when people reply to threads you make so you can have a general convo about the topic, and all. ^-^

I also do what I normally do, nothing,

If people take a while to reply to my thread, oh well, I normally take a while to reply back.

I just go take a nap, watch some tv, play some games, talk to some people, you know, just the normal.

Barathemos : Ah I see. Its the best way to do things so then you don't get annoyed that people are not replying back to your thread, and just wait for a few hours or so before people start to reply back. I like doing that too it helps. XD

Well, I mean, I don't do anything special if I'm waiting for someone to reply to my new thread. In fact, I don't do anything at all. The only time I might wait if it is for something urgent but that's rare to nothing.

I just do what I normally do. Listen to music, work on my computer science project, nap, eat.... etc.

Mohammedroxx3 : Ah.... I see. Maybe I should explain with my one. I wait for at least or want at least 2 people to post in my threads normally it would be one, and I reply back. Its because I can watching on my post count number? So its easier to track with the replies I do. I don't like it when its up to 4 or 5 not only it may take time for me to post back. Don't get me wrong I like people replying to my threads. Its because of this kind of structure I made to help me in a way to do with my posting, and all if that makes sense? If you want to ask why more on that, I don't mind explaining in full depth.

I mostly go to YouTube and watch/make video's while waiting on a thread of which i really want replies on. But mostly i don't mind people replying to my threads (That's what they are for), so i guess this situation is too rare to me. Of course this also depends on how likely you wait for replies like you stalk your own thread, waiting for people to go into your trap. go and reply to your thread.

Also, i've noticed that the subject of the thread must be important too. If you need urgent help, for example, then you surely stalk your thread like a dog stalks someone with a hotdog, waiting for the sausage to fall. (this sausage is in this case the help needed) Or if you make a forum game like my 'Lucky Card Game', then you need to be there in time for those who want to know if they've won or not.

In case you don't know what i'm talking about: I'm talking about... I don't know, actually. I guess only the first part is important. (But then you've already been reading the entire post)

While I'm waiting for replies I just go to other places and reply to other things, that's really all that I can do.

MarioLucarioFan64 : Oh yeah.....I forgot you say or said that you make youtube videos..... the type of threads you do is the type of one that can help people or just in general try and make a new game something that is fun. Because I do see you do this in the crazy house forum, and its good introducing new ones to people. Because going through the same ones can tend to bore people out. So you are helping them in a way.

I twiddle my thumbs while waiting for people to reply :v.

Not really, I mean I don't often reply to the threads that I make (but I do enjoy reading the replies) but when my thread has no replies I often just refresh the page and worry that everyone hates my thread xp. Then I usually get bored of that and decide to just post around or watch YT. Usually I get a reply in like a day however, and get to read people's opinions on the subject :3.

ZeeTee : I see.....but I do know that some of you threads do get replies on. I think the most replies you get are the ones people can talk more about. I know its not every time that everyone doesn't always replies to you threads. But, as a saying goes it depends on the types of threads that you make.

It depends. If I'm spreeing at the time, then I go and find other places to post. If not, I do my normal thing, which is watch weird YT vids and play games, lol. If I'm really bored and have nothing else to do, I occasionally look at the thread's page to see if anyone is viewing it or posting in it at the time. 

RDay13 : Yeah that's the thing really when it comes to some cases when waiting on a reply. If I don't see for mine I would try and look for another thread to post in. Or just get onto the other things quickly than to wait, and see what happens. Time goes slow when you stand still looking at the time for waiting on replies. But, when you don't look at the time and do other things the time goes after because you did work or whatever you did in a matter of hours.

I don't really make good threads, so I never expect very many replies, anyway. I'm always a little surprised if I get more than about five or six. Usually, after posting threads, I just go about my normal business on the board and look around for places to post. It probably isn't a good thing to be glued to the computer all the time, as you've said, but that fits me pretty well lol. I've been playing my PlayStation 2 for the last couple days for the first time in months, only because of internet problems.

m0ssb3rg935 : I see, but people have their reasons so yours is fine. With me I did say I don't like too many people replying in my threads at one time. I don't ask for them to do that. I make sure I can catch who posts in the thread, and then post when I need too. So it would be easier for me to keep track, and on clock with my plans of how and the way I post.

Right now i'm posting a lot (as you know) and while waiting for replies, i go to my notifications to check if a good person named Eniitan replied to my thread or my post on her threads. What i'm also doing is achieving my goal. What? I'm just playing with fire but i can't seem to interact with it just yet. (Jk)

MarioLucarioFan64 : Aww....thank you foe saying that, its really nice of you lol. I will reply to how many I need to go and post for the day. When I am happy I will stop, but I've gotten up not too long ago so I doubt I would stop now. XD

And about your goal achieving it good luck your doing well so far. I'll help you if you need too build more of that posts, that you need to get there.

I never have any expectation on responses to my questions. Maybe it is that they are not the most appropriate for this website and they don't garner attention or maybe I just don't phrase them well but it seems I rarely get many answers.

I'll throw a question out there and then I go do something else. Maybe I'll get answers, usually there replies are only made by a few people, the conversation fizzles out, and that's the end of that. The thread goes off to die somewhere.

So, what do I do? I go off and go run after my kids, or I check back in on the Dragon Warrior III campaign I'm working on, or I do some real work for my career stuff, or I go for a run. I don't sit there and wait. I just don't get the responses the rest of you do.

Maybe I'll try one more time and spark some fun.

Ghostbear1111 : Well the secret to keeping a thread active is....to reply back to the person who posted in it. To as you say make a conversation of it before it fizzles out. It also depends on the type of thread you make as well really.....some people will post some will not so we can't always determine what can happen, but only watch to see. Ah I see that's a good way to wait and see if anyone has replied back to your thread. And what? That sounds interesting too working on dragon warrior III campaign? Nice very nice. ^-^
