How many subscriptions do you have?

III · Aug 10, 2007

I used to delete my old thread subscriptions every few days, but now I'm just too lazy and I'm letting them build up. But now I'm afraid my internet will explode and kill people around me.

How many subscriptions do you have and has it made your internet explode?

Devil Ledbetter · Aug 10, 2007

One. I have no posts on it -- I subscribed to look out for a friend.

cray · Aug 10, 2007

subscribing to threads is for losers. unless it's cool in which case i do it all the time. i always have and i always will and i have lots and lots of subscriptions...like a hundred. and i subscribe to some theorems too. but only the good ones.

oh, and food and wine magazine

That sounded like a Michael Scott rant. Well done. You've earned one Schrute Buck.

Aww, here I thought this was going to be about magazine subscriptions... I have tons of those. I am not subscribed to any posts, though I probably should subscribe to the ones I started in SYW.

I thought this thread was about prescriptions. I don't have either, but give me a drug anyday of the week.

RLB · Aug 10, 2007

I thought I was going to have to own up to my Vogue subscription.

Threads? Nah, I don't do it.

ChunkyC · Aug 10, 2007

26 right now. It varies though as I add new ones and delete those that haven't had a new post in ages.

ETA: 27

Finally! Someone else who subscribes to threads! I was beginning to think Mac gave me some kind of super-power that nobody else had. But I've been known to jump to delusional egotism before.

I tried subscribing to threads a few times, but it made my email box explode (with notifications). Now I just try to remember the important ones, and check "New Posts" to keep current.

ChunkyC · Aug 10, 2007

You can set it so that it does not send you an email notification, then whenever there's a new post in a subscribed thread, you just see a link in your UserCP above your rep comments. That's how I have it set. When I log in, I go to my CP and see wazzup with subbed threads and rep comments, then venture out onto the boards.

912

I have it set up like Chunky explained. WAYYYY back when I got emails. When III found my newb thread asking how long I would be an Esteemed New Member, I got an email. It was freaky. Sometimes I get so stuck on just checking my USERCP I completely miss new threads, then someone will refer to one and I think, "MAN, I always miss the good stuff."

Er now it is 913. I have it set so when I post I am subscribed, no email notification. SOmetimes I post just to subscribe. rarely I have been known to subscribe w/out posting. And even less often I delete a subscription becuase I am just done with the subject, you know?

rhymegirl · Aug 10, 2007

Zero.

I just zip through the forums looking for some tasty threads.

auntybug · Aug 10, 2007

I have about 10 and I wear out the new posts button also...

yup - no life, slow days at work.

sassandgroove · Aug 10, 2007

man how do you do that. I want to know what other people said in threads I've posted in.

I'm addicted to this place, let me tell you. I click usercp habitually. sometimes I mean to click new posts or back into a forum from a thread and click usercp. Sometimes I mean to click view first unread and click usercp and have to go back to the thread. ARGH!

Oh, good, I thought I was weird with 600+.

I subscribe to various challenge entries b/c I like to see the comments, and some of the general-useful-information type. Plus mine's set to automatically subscribe when I post, and I haven't gotten around to cleaning house.

sassandgroove · Aug 10, 2007

I'm never cleaning house. It was a total blast from the past when III found a thread I started in 2005. I wouldn't have known if I weren't subscribed. eh eh, never cleaninghouse.

I am not addicted....

Hmmm. Addicted to AW. Been using it constantly for months and still can't get the hang of the buttons. Just adorable.

auntybug · Aug 10, 2007

Case in point - I forgot to subscribe - then had to search for it.

(Cause I love III - every time I hear Crazy Train - I think of him now!)

*off to subscribe to thread*

OOh, Kevin. This could be a good poem.

Sounds like the makings of an AW Summer Camp Theme Song.

Gee Mom I wanna go Home.

triceretops · Aug 10, 2007

360, but they are all sooooooo old that they are gathering dust. I'm tuned into the Bewares thread and the dejection rejection thingy, mostly. I have to go and clean out my attic.
