How do you keep up Random Thoughts and Ideas?

I usually read every single page, unless they almost entirely consist of song lyrics.

A little of everything.

Except the Temporal Dilation thing. What the fructose is that?

In BB2, I'd usually come here for some other thread and not feel like reading Random Thoughts that time, so I'd lose the new post flag on it. Then I'd start speed reading (quick but not inattentive enough to be scanning) from wherever the new post flag was when I came back. Yeah, that means that even as a mod, I wasn't reading the whole thing.

BB3, tho, doesn't reset the new post flag until you actually look in the thread. So now I'm speed reading the whole thing eventually. Unfortunately.

Would a temporal dilation change anything? I mean, the servers aren't in your room.

I either read everything from my last post, or, if the thread has advanced more than 3 pages, I skip ahead.

I used to read from my last post, but I've lost interest in RT a bit so I mainly just start at the current page, and if the discussion seems interesting enough, I'll go back to where it started.

I just skip to the current page. I'm too lazy to read all of them.

I tend to read or skim through all posts since my last. BECAUSE I AM OCD.

If it's like, 3 pages, I read them all. But anymore than that I skip 'em.

I'll look through all of the old pages as quickly as possible, then tune in to the last page.

Yeah, that last one.

I re-read all the threads all the way through whenever I read, but since I can control the flow of time through the new mod board on phpBB3, it's a piece of cake now.

You mean other than the obligatory choice that exists for the sole purpose of being humorously absurd? You apparently haven't seen very many episodes of Stargate SG-1.

Science Fiction Trivia
A 'Time Dilation Device' from Stargate essentially alters the rate at which time elapses within a defined area of space; usually a perfect sphere around the device.

Why I Said 'Temporal' Instead of 'Time'... Trivia
It means the same thing, though longer and more unusual words make it sound more like mad science. :mrgreen:

If there's only been one or two pages since my last visit, I'll read those. Otherwise, I'll just skip to the current page.

Read from my last post to the current page, even if it takes an hour or so.
