Does anyone else do this or am I just sad?

[WayOutThere]

Sometimes when I'm bored or think I have been really clever or funny when I post a comment on a site, I like to go back and see if anyone has quoted me or commented on it

I do this

(shameful sigh)

 

[SimuLord]

I do this on the Escapist, probably because these forums are sitting in the background pretty much whenever I'm not running a full-screen game.

 

[paiged]

I only go back to check and see where the conversation is headed, to see if I can add more. But it is nice to be quoted, to see people actually read and respond to what you say.

That's not sad. I do that all the time. Or maybe that is sad...

 

[chromewarriorXIII]

You think that it's great until you are the first post and the next 10 people quote you.

The Escapist: 10 UNREAD MESSAGES!!!
Me: Hmm, maybe it's something about that RP I joined.

You've been quoted by this person, that person, and that other guy. They all disagree with you and think you're an idiot. Except that guy, he agrees with you.

Me: Oh.

 

[DrDeath3191]

The answer to your topic: Both.

Half of the time when someone quotes me, it's about how much of an ass I unknowingly made of myself.

 

[ffxfriek]

I would have quoted you but I couldn't be bothered to do such a lazy thing like move a cursor over a button and click it.

OT: Sometimes I do. I have quote notifactions[sp?] on so I always know when I've been quoted.

And now for something completely different.

Spoiler: HAVE A PICTURE!

cookie for that picture that totally made my day.

Does anyone else do that or am I just clinging to scraps that maybe someone will validate my existence on a website I don't even care about?

EDIT: I'm not only talking about on the escapist, I do it on sites like youtube and I-am-bored all the time

ya everybody likes to get quoted.

a good way to get quoted is say reference something every body knows, then say cookie for whoever gets the reference.

my friend did that got like 7 quotes

 

[War Penguin]

All the time. I like a good chat.

... Hi.

 

[Simalacrum]

Meh, I get quoted all the time.

I guess that makes me popular?

I do that too. It's usuaully the only intelligent conversation I get, when people reply.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

I love getting quoted personally it makes my life seem worth while.

 

[Canadaftw]

When I don't get quoted on somthing I thought would be very insightfull or funny I do get a little dissapointed. So by my standards your normal but I myself am not normal soo....

 

[SilentStranger]

Buddy, I'm a failed cartoonist, you think you know sad? You havent even scratched the SURFACE

 

[Akai Shizuku]

All the time, because I'm a sad, sad commie.

There, I just made your life worth living. The only time I don't like being quoted is when people are quoting me because they dissagre with me. It's not that I don't like arguments (I guess from that you could call me a troll) and I infact enjoy having the oppourtunitie to learn from my mistakes and see how others see the world. I just hate it when they flat out say somthing like "ur supid just go kil urselv" or only quote me to sorrect my spelling/grammar. Although I would not mind someone letting me know what times to use a semi colon.Edit: Now I'm sad noone quoted me.

 

[Deofuta]

Ive thought so once or twice :0

I try to be as creative as possible to see what happens.
Maybe I'll just take the easy way out and troll/flame to get quoted
