After how many days or how many discussion topics do you continue to follow them? I usually try to read maybe the past 20 discussion topics, but it seems like only the last 5 to 10 receive active responses.
Oh fer fun I kept hitting "older topics" link at the bottom of the page and made it all the way back to I think last June. Tried to post a new entry to an old topic from then and discovered Founder has limited the fun to newer material. I guess if it's 4 or 6 weeks or older it's no longer open to new posts.
I would add to the older topics if I could. Would be nice to be able to bump them to the top when some of the same questions show up over and over. But I don't really read past the first couple of pages since I don't post much.
During the week I check this topic list once per day. So however many topics have received updates in the past 24 hrs. Typical is probably 10-15 topics.
The display is of the most recent 25 topics. It is very rare that more than 25 topics have been updated in a 24 hr period.
It would be really helpful if the site kept track of the last time you were logged in and highlighted the discussion threads that had activity since the last time you were here. That way you could just scan the titles and look for the "New" flag. Would be a great help.
I usually stick to the first page unless I want to check on a topic I posted in earlier that is no longer on that page (or any Dick Johnson post). Unfortunately, I seem to be a thread killer, since many of the topics that end up dying out have one of mine as the last post. If I wasn't so confident about my nerdy, vapid charm; muddled, obscure insights; and primitive, Neanderthal wit, I might develop a complex about a thing like that!
Funny you should say that, when I woke up from a particularly rough night of clubbing the other day I was missing my keys, wallet, spleen, and one of my kidneys.
NOW this thread is officially a dead parrot! It's deceased . . . no longer living . . . categorically non-functional, etc.
I normaly just do the current stuff....but when I first started I would dig like a made man !....I only do it know if I'm bored and I'm waiting on people to comment on the current stuff !
I seldom post to topics that aren't still on the first page, but the NEW TUSCL format only has 10 per page...I thought the previous version had more. Maybe I'll have to get into the 2nd page if I'm away for more than a day.
I used to scan back to the last topic with new comments added since my last visit. Now that format change doesn't shoe laast comment date don't know what I'll do.

Founder? Any hope on this one?
