For the most part I'll read people's answers up to the point of my reply. However, it'll be very rare that I check back into a thread that I've posted in OVP. The only time I'd really contemplate doing that would be if I really thought the topic was interesting, or liked some of the answers thus far and thought they'd blossom into a discussion.

It really depends on what catches my eye. Like Vendak's avatar, or moments.'s sig for example, it caught my eye so I read the post. I'll also tend to read the posts from Staff (at least skim) because the name color catches my eye. And then there are some people were I'll read their post everytime it comes up.
I wish I had the time to read every post, but like everyone I have a limited amount of time (unless you're Sammi where you're a speed reader and you can read a whole DCC in 10 mins XD), so I skim.

I read the posts of the people that use correct grammar, good vocabulary, and have a nice shiny eye-drawing avatar.
I like the colors.

I actually tend to read the longer ones, because that means people put more time into their post. (Generally. Hypothetically, someone could spend an hour on a response, then decided they don't like it and post a one line answer. XD)
If I post a thread, I generally try to read all the responses. And I always at least glance at the responses in the threads I post in, so I at least can get a general opinion from everyone.

Yes I do read posts, to use as like samples as for what I will post. I only post in threads I want to, and I normally decide which threads to post in after reading other people's comments.

If you're not already on my ignore list, your posts in OVP automatically get read by me, even if I just skim most of them briefly. I also revisit topics often to read what others have posted after me.

Pretty much like half the posters before me. Yes that actually means I read every post on this thread lol
If a topic seems interesting to me, I read all the replies up to date, then post mine, and then check it again every time I get the chance to see it updated.

I think this sums up exactly what I do as well. In fact, this was one of the threads where I wasn't really planning on reading too many replies, but my scroll bar got stuck on Toshiro's post, and I noticed I had the exact same opinion.
I rarely ever reply to a thread without reading most of the other replies. I'd say it was the moderator in me, gotta check for rule breakage and what not, but I dunno.. I did that before I was a mod. I like hearing what others have to say. Find it kinda pointless to post and then just leave.
