Is it just me or do you check out the number of posts on a thread before reading the tread title?

My limit is about 25, if there'e more than that I can't be bothered reading them all to get the full story and make sure I don't post/ask something already mentioned. Therefore, invariably I don't even open it.

Is this just being lazy?

Am I missing the point of a forum?

it depends on what it's about, and if it's interesting...

I also open the threads with pages and pages of replies becuase it generally means that forum members are bitching at each other and can be mildly entertaining on a very slow day..

I'd tend agree, as a general rule the more posts the bigger the arguement...

it depends on whether your friend is being outed as "the only gay in the woods" by another poster. I think it got to 150 posts and I was still pi$$ing myself.

More than one page and I can't be arsed, unless the thread title is too good to miss!

I always read any thread that's been locked to see what it was all about.

Nonsense just means there's more interest in the thread.

Generally the more replies the more trivial the subject matter of the thread !
