Ever notice your own habits when you're posting? I'm pretty sure most of you have atleast 1 or 2. For example, today I noticed:

"
Whenever I post something detailed, I do 1-2 sentence paragraphs.

And end up with an entire post that looks double spaced.

Like this.

Except sometimes I get like a 3 liner near the end somewhere. Atleast that's how it shows up when i'm typing it... but the actual post cuts it down to just two lines.
"

Also more often than not: I open this forum in a less than happy mood and start typing a long response, only to press the back button half way through because the message really doesn't contribute, or may be too conterversial. Or sometimes I forget what I was getting at in the first place.

I don't know, I thought it might be fun if everyone shared these things.

Oh dear God yes. I get enough pm's as it is. That and I jump around within the forum like a spider monkey on crack.

I really need more to do at work.

KoKoS · May 29, 2009, 09:17 PM // 21:17

overusing smilies..! ;p
Posts i make that don't have a smilie are rare xD

usually add 2 fullstops instead of one..
when using a question or exclamation mark it usually follows two fullst0ps.. xD
e.g: What day is it..? ;p

I start typing really long posts, get distracted, then come back hours or days later and either finish the post, just post it anyway, or decide that I don't know what the hell I was on about and just close the tab.

I find the longer it takes to type a post the less sense it actually makes
i like to keep my posts short and sweet or else I am talking about something unrelated

I do the typing of long post and deleted them a lot, to avoid myself trolling someone else. Its my: "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all" syndrome.

I also like this

smiley alot.

Yang Whirlwind · May 30, 2009, 10:41 AM // 10:41

Same for me:

<--- loads of these

I also like to use:

,- and ! a lot

When I'm at work I usually tend to type up something big. Then I let it sit for awhile to do something important then come back and hit "Post Reply". The problem? The forum logs you out after awhile if you're not active and I always hit "back" instead of just logging in again, losing all of my post.

Gr.

Empress Amarox · May 30, 2009, 12:33 PM // 12:33

Mine never logs me out. Ever.

Mr. G · May 30, 2009, 08:41 PM // 20:41

I always copy what I'm about to post in case of forum hic-cups. Old habits I s'pose.

MMSDome · May 31, 2009, 03:24 AM // 03:24

My post have a trend of being either a troll or me bitching/beingangry about something.

haggus71 · May 31, 2009, 05:17 PM // 17:17

I tend to miss the fact that the post I am writing was addressed 5 posts before mine, or spend so much time thinking it out, that someone says the same thing(only more eloquently and succinct) in the time it takes for me to write and post.

Elder III · May 31, 2009, 05:22 PM // 17:22

i always start typing in in lower case for the first sentence. Then, after that, I usually type with (fairly) proper punctuation, grammar and syntax. It's a bad habit that I blame on many a long night spent on AIM, with drunken Estonians, in my younger years.

glacialphoenix · May 31, 2009, 05:40 PM // 17:40

I tend to not include the username of the person I'm quoting. Oops?

Divinitys Creature · Jun 01, 2009, 10:10 PM // 22:10

I kicked my all consuming habit ages ago - it was trying to _reason_ with PvEers. True story.

Neo Nugget · Jun 02, 2009, 12:23 AM // 00:23

I see I'm not the only one that uses an excessive amount of emoticons

Earth · Jun 02, 2009, 02:39 PM // 14:39

I tend to make really short posts. I just can't be bothered to type out long posts...
