I tend to tr;dr myself, so it's not like I dislike it. However, when people tr;dr me: unless it's very important or it's of my interest, I usually just don't read it, or I skim through it. This usually happens when you're ranting to me and being a total drama queen about it, and I don't give a crap.

It all depends on the topic of the tr;dr really.

Depends on the section/thread/etc.

For Roleplays, I, of course, HAVE to put in long posts if I can ever expect to get accepted/stay in them >.>

Other than that, my posts generally stay as short messages :3

Franceschi September 28th, 2009 3:31 PM

I don't particularly like to tl;dr because most of the time I just end up repeating myself over and over. But sometimes when it's needed and gets a good response, I do enjoy it - it feels like it's worth the effort. :>

I hate seeing the term "tl;dr". I'll read whatever I want to read, thank you very much.

Honest October 1st, 2009 4:06 PM

I keep it short and simple, usualy. The only times I right long stuf is when I'm hosting something, like PC's Prettiest Profile Contest. Or when I'm talking to someone exceptionaly stupid. O_O

Lolz, JK

I just post short messages because I don't usually..say a lot. Unless I need to..then..yeah..

Rarely do I feel the need to make long posts (fan fiction is a notable exception). But I will type up long posts if the situation warrants it.

lolno

If it's over about two lines it's long for me ;D

Neko October 2nd, 2009 6:48 AM

I really think it depends on the type of post I am making, how much I have to say, what type of mood I'm in, etc. Though roleplays are an exception; I try to at least make three or more paragraphs for each roleplay post I make. :3

Aurafire October 2nd, 2009 6:50 AM

Only when I actually care about what the topic is. Otherwise I very rarely tl;dr.

Netto Azure October 2nd, 2009 3:39 PM

Oh TL;DR?

I still type those up when the topic appeals to me (Hence the SU Emblem)
But nowadays, QR OT posts are the way to go due to school. ;;

Lana. October 2nd, 2009 4:23 PM

Normally: I don't think so. My posts are usually a few lines or a medium-sized paragraph. There are certain subjects I can be long-winded on, but most of the time I keep it short and sweet. ^^

ÇyänïdëÉX October 2nd, 2009 6:13 PM

I have more to say verbally than i can type. I guess i suck at expressing myself through text.

doesn't matter October 2nd, 2009 7:53 PM

oh god, why are you using an acronym as a verb? It doesn't even make any sense: "Do you like to too long; didn't read?"

That said, whatever. I'll write how much I deem necessary when I feel like it.

Idiot! October 3rd, 2009 1:15 AM

I always emphasise on quality, not quantity. So whether it's a long post or a short one, the point can be seen quickly, with the point put forward.

Percy Thrillington October 3rd, 2009 3:14 AM

My posts can switch between one liners to, um, ten paragraphers? I don't always make huge posts, but when I deem it necessary and if I have the time, I'll do it.

♣Gawain♣ October 3rd, 2009 3:42 AM


I've always considered abnormally long and very specific-to the point posts in what they call "know-it-all", but...


No. But occasionally, if it's my kind of subject, I'll use long posts.

Sammi October 3rd, 2009 1:18 PM

I only write a really long post when I'm passionate about the subject and there's a lot of ground to cover, it seems. I try my best to keep it short, though, even in those situations. I don't really like to repeat myself.

Hiidoran October 3rd, 2009 9:03 PM

Thought I already posted in this thread. Mind must be playin' tricks on me.

I used to make long replies to every thread my little eyes happened to fall upon, but those days are well over with. It's not that I don't enjoy extrapolating, I just don't like dragging things out when they don't have to be.

That being said, I can still be a blabbermouth when the situation calls for it.
