The Blur Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 Hey I was just thinking about my posting habits on here which include timing of my posts, threads I am interested in and all other idiosyncrasies. I have found that I tend post a lot during half term and in the summer (no shit!), a look at some graphs also show that I am at most active at 9pm but I am also rather active at 3pm which surprised me as I do not post a lot during matchday because I am unable to go to games often so I do not feel I can contribute a lot. This also meant I tend to stick to General Chat and General Sports forum rather than the main forum. I stay away after 9.30pm as I usually like to watch a film or few episodes of TV series before bed. I usually post in threads that I have an interest in such as running, films and betting (typical lad I know ) but last general election has inspired me to post bit more about politics and to learn more about it though I am approaching that awkward stage when I do not really know the conventions on here to stop replying to a debate otherwise it would take days! I just thought it would be interesting to get you all to share your habits such as do you avoid a thread when you saw a certain poster has posted in it or that you have developed an in joke with someone on here that you never have met in real life etc to compare and to see anything interesting come up and I was also wondering how the heck guys who post 20+ a day and get in heated debates find time especially that most of them work full time and a fair few also have kids or appear to watch two or three series at once in TV Shows thread!
Rincewind Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 I post crap most of the time. (all the time according to some)
Unabomber Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 Tend to just help people out with different things and put in some decent post match analysis etc.
foxfanazer Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 Don't have any particular pattern to be honest. Check FT quite a few times per day though. It seems like you don't really get many replies unless you're being controversial (especially in the LCFC section. Some really good posters on here that I like to hear their views on things. Some people I don't agree with but still make really good posts
Stadt Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 If you post 2 or 3 times in 5 minutes spells, if you look at your phone 5 or 6 times then its easily done. I've made an effort to post less this year, I think I've cut down but I still probably spend too much time on here

Stadt Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 How come you have tried to cut down? I'm 17 years old and I spend my time on an internet forum, I feel like I should be more of a reprobate well do more schoolwork
Unabomber Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 I'm 17 years old and I spend my time on an internet forum, I feel like I should be more of a reprobate well do more schoolwork I had you as late 40's.
Stadt Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 I had you as late 40's. I looked at that how old.net thing and it said I was 31
Parafox Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 I'm 17 years old and I spend my time on an internet forum, AHA!!! That explains your responses to my comments on the Benefits Steet topic
Captain... Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 I've seriously cut down my posting this season, partly due to the main forum being as much fun as bobbing for apples in used needles for much of it, that and the added exposure means I don't need ft to find out what is going within the club. I also find general chat to be less interesting than it used to be, it just feels like the same old arguments by the same posters and they have already been done to death. The odd topic is worth getting stuck into, such as Ched Evans, but really there is very rarely a topic that hasn't been discussed to death and whenever there is it always ends up coming back to the same old arguments.
SystonFox Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 Can't believe Wookie is 17. When he's old enough he'd be decent to go for a pint with I post in the morning when on the shitter. At work when on the shitter. After work at home, you guessed it, on the shitter and now. Always now
Finnaldo Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 Follow a fair few threads on both the main forum and general chat. Interject occasionally if feel I have a strong enough opinion or know enough about the subject (pretty rarely). I'm 18 so normally come on after I finish at school.
lavrentis Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 how was your day / questions tend to find myself agreeing with people i wouldnt have done a year or so back
theessexfox Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 I read a lot of the political threads and being young, and having had no real education about politics, I learn a hell of a lot more from them (people on all parts of the spectrum offering good, balanced debate) than I do from news outlets with politicians swerving questions and no real clarity.
MooseBreath Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 I'm on way too much and I blame easy access via the smartphone for that. Any time I've got a minute spare through the working day I'll fire up ft for a mini break. Stuck in traffic? Browse ft. Boring meeting? Browse ft. Can't sleep? Browse ft. Waiting for dinner to be cooked? Browse ft. Etc etc The debates on here are great. A bit repetitive at times for sure, but it's much more balanced and tolerant now that the old aggressive left wing clique has quietened down. There seems to be more people involved now than ever before, with some top quality new and younger posters getting involved as well.
ADK Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 I've had a bit of a FT binge with the election and realising what a politics nerd I still am. Usually find I'd like to post a longer response but either something distracts me or I lose interest halfway through.
Rincewind Posted 14 May 2015 Posted 14 May 2015 Used to post quite a lot but quietened down a bit after realising that hoping that a Camerette will concede that right is not always right is like betting on Richard Dawkins to become the next pope.

I work with some awfully slow ict systems and tend to browse ft whilst waiting for it to catch up. Whenever I'm bored out comes the phone. What a shit invention ha.
kingcarr21 Posted 15 May 2015 Posted 15 May 2015 I only post when im at work. So literally all my posts i have been paid to write
bovril Posted 15 May 2015 Posted 15 May 2015 I think most of my posts have just been stating the obvious on match day threads.
