Ok, if you see a juicy topic, and the poster is someone completely unknown, then you see a not so fun topic posted by a popular user or a staff, which one is your priority to check out?

The newcomer, or the person you know.

Do not try to fool me:D I know the answer:D

That's completely untrue. No one in this forum cares who makes a topic; if it is worthy of an answer, then someone will post in it. What you're probably responding to is seeing the difference in "forum age" between members. New members tend to make less intruging, slightly noobish threads in general. The older members (who, coincidentally are more popular in general) and authority tend to know what kind of threads people enjoy and what would get a good discussion going. There are exceptions, but that's looking at the big picture.

Not many people care who makes a thread. They just care about the content.

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

Inside of the emulation I just have to check every thread, it doesnt matter who makes it. Just because I enjoy reading everything there.

Outside that area, I just pay attention to the ones that sound more interesting. I'll just wonder who is the person who created the thread while I'm reading it, but other than that, I wont care who creates the thread.

I'll be honest, of course I care. I DON'T care about who makes the thread as long as they have proper grammar while doing it.

OMG guyz wut pkmanz do u tink iz teh best?!?!?

I really can't stand the regular posts made by these people let alone topics created >_>

You, Angela, are most certainly not such a person :D

So yeah I guess it just matters if I'm interested in the topic and it's easy to read.

If the thread is by someone I know and I like I will most definitely read it irregardless of topic- but if it's someone I don't know (especially if they have a low post count) I will only read if it interests me

I almost never look at who starts a thread, to be honest D: The only times I do are when a thread title seems spammish, and so I usually just look to see if the member is one who's more familiar with the rules for not. But for the most part, I chose the threads I post in on the topics themselves <3

I usually hover over the topic to get a small description of it before actually clicking it.

You guys seriosuly are too perfect.

To be honest, yes, I do look at the person who made the topic. If its someone that I hate, then it generally decreases the chance fo me posting it it, unless it's a poular thread.

If it's someone that I like, then I will have a look, doesn't eman that i will post in it.

But coming in newb/oldie-wise, then I'd have to say that I prefer the oldies. I just like 'em, I guess.

If it's a staff member, or even someone with a little respect around here, then chances are, it's going to be a pretty interesting, open minded thread.

If I see a thread started by a staff member, chances are I'm tripping over myself trying to get to it. Staff member don't make too many threads, and when they do, they're usually important or something of interest. (just going by what I've noticed).

I don't really care. I hardly know anyone here anyways, so I don't know who's a mod or who's a newbie. It doesn't matter to me, as long as the thread sounds interesting or something then I'll read it and maybe post.

Yeah, sometimes I'll click on a thread first if I see it's made by one of my friends. Other than that, not really. There's no posters that I would avoid, so to say.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'
