I've noticed that almost nobody on this forum posts subjects in their replies to other posts. Why is this? Was there some sort of etiquette rule I missed? Replies are posts too; don't they deserve subjects?

ModestlyHotGirl · **Posted:** Fri Feb 25, 2005 9:17 pm

I know I never look at the subjects of others' posts. So I guess I never thought to put subjects into my own.

sticklyman · **Posted:** Fri Feb 25, 2005 9:26 pm

It's not necessary. Like MHG said, no one reads the subjects. Do you really care that the summary of my response is "Eh...?" No, you read the entire post. Simple.

Evin290 · **Posted:** Fri Feb 25, 2005 9:34 pm

I never put in a subject. I just don't find it neccesary at all.

InterruptorJones · **Posted:** Fri Feb 25, 2005 9:53 pm

ModestlyHotGirl hit the nail on the head. Nobody reads subjects on replies, so why write them?

ThatGoblin · **Posted:** Fri Feb 25, 2005 10:21 pm

Healthy ones, eh? SUBJECT!!!

If someone wants to know the subject of a post, then read it! Seriously, an accurate subject line wouldn't come in handy, anyway. Hmm, I wonder what this post is about. Better read the subject line.

It feels like I'm doing something wrong...

Usually if there is a subject, I'll read it. But I don't put in subjects because it wastes 4 seconds.

Wow, this is the first time I really gave a care about the subject.

Cmarbagoi · **Posted:** Sat Feb 26, 2005 7:03 pm

Maybe the reason is that it's a waste of time. Writing that^ took me like 45 seconds. Thanks Ricksea, in that time I could of watched TV for 45 seconds.

Melonade Man · **Posted:** Sat Feb 26, 2005 7:25 pm

For my first... 5... maybe 10 posts maybe I put a subject. The only times I put a subject NOW is when I start a topic. Thanks very much and good night.

Krissy · **Posted:** Sat Feb 26, 2005 8:39 pm

Posts, at least the ones I make, usually aren't longer than two or three sentences, so I never see a point in adding a subject. If people want to know what my post is about, it shouldn't be too difficult for them to just read it.

I make a subject now and then... but not usually because no one reads it because it just doesn't stand out enough.

I may have done it a few times in the beginning of me joining the forum, but I don't remember. Although I did put a subject on the post in the 2005 Wiki Awards when I awarded the trophies. That one actually meant something.

EDIT: Actually, I believe Buz puts a subject in his posts all da time.

Well, I never use them. I'm not required to. So I don't. You don't hafta either, Ricksea.

box and end up with half a message in the text box.....too lazy to fix.

Lunar Jesty · **Posted:** Mon Feb 28, 2005 2:45 am

Something to think about:

ramrod · **Posted:** Mon Feb 28, 2005 3:13 am

I don't usually post in the subject box because I don't read them, and I figure that not many others do too.

Ricksea · **Posted:** Tue Mar 01, 2005 3:05 pm

Well, since everyone except me on this forum is against "post-subjects" then why are they even an option?

No Toppings · **Posted:** Tue Mar 01, 2005 6:15 pm

doing it again..i hate the subject box, it gets in the way...CURSE YOU SUBJECT BOX!

The Experimental Film · **Posted:** Tue Mar 01, 2005 11:00 pm

I don't mind the subject box. I can put hidden stuff in it.

Puphles · **Posted:** Fri Mar 04, 2005 1:55 am

also the first sentence of your post, so if nobody read the subject, then they be all like, "Where's the first sentence of that person's post???? AAAARRRRRGGGGLLLBLBLLBLBL!!!"

Well, like said earlier, Buz always puts a subject in. I don't since I haven't seen any need for it, as people can just as easily find the subject of my post by, well, reading my post.

ThatGoblin · **Posted:** Fri Mar 04, 2005 2:23 am

Don't bother looking.

ramrod · **Posted:** Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:50 am

I actually have been using the subject bar a little more, but I mostly don't use it because I want to get my post out as soon as I can before my compy crashes (Which it likes to do, randomly).

Ricksea · **Posted:** Mon Mar 07, 2005 3:27 pm

I don't want to spam so I'm not going to try it, but what happens if you don't post a subject in a topic?

It won't allow it. Dangit.

ramrod · **Posted:** Mon Mar 07, 2005 4:16 pm

You mean if you don't put anything in the subject box? Nothing happens. The world does not end. But I do happen to see a meteor coming at me...

Wait, sorry, maybe I'm confused. Do you mean the sunject box or the actual text like what I'm putting here? Please excuse my stupidity.
