Once I see the page number reach "2", I always don't want to read it as I think it's gonna be boring. What about you?

Pretty much, yeah. I think a lot of times the only important information comes from the first maybe 3 posts, then after that, the posts either repeath themselves or go off topic. Which sometimes can be fun, but often times annoying

I rarely see a thread ever reach page two.

That's probably because I have 40 posts per page though.

I hate first read a thread when its several pages long.
Cuz I only feel like reading the first and last pages, missing all the info in the middle pages. :rolleyes:

I like big threads that are about something... not just crap. Reading doesn't bother me.

It depends what the topic is about. For example, I read every single post in the World Cup thread.

I don't like jumping into a thread once it's reached two pages (30 + for me, I think).
