I was doing a little clean up on the database and noticed that not as many people are subscribed to email updates from various forums and topics as I had thought. Is that because people simple don't want the updates or don't understand how to manage them?

seeing how th threats here can get pages upon pages long, that clutters up mail-boxes like nobodys business . . -------------------- TrogCorp, Join us while it is still voluntary!

I tend to manage my subscriptions. All my pbp topics. Any post in this forums. When I start I new topic in in the main Shadowrun forum, I usually unsubscribe pretty quickly as that clutter you described begins quickly.

Yah, and i am lazy.
The board icons tell me where there has been activiy, when there has been activity in threads i posted in . . I simply don't need another reminder . . i check dumpshock at least every 5 minutes anyway ^^# -------------------- TrogCorp, Join us while it is still voluntary!

QUOTE (Redjack @ May 8 2012, 03:47 PM) I tend to manage my subscriptions. All my pbp topics. Any post in this forums. When I start I new topic in in the main Shadowrun forum, I usually unsubscribe pretty quickly as that clutter you described begins quickly. I only use email notifications for my pbp stuff or to track a thread I'm particularly interested. Otherwise, I just use the sites View New Posts function to avoid the infinite clutter. Also, any post received by email will not reflect any edits, which can have a detrimental effect to your response if you don't take the time to reread every single post you read by email. This is nothing against this board; it's just the nature of forums in general. -------------------- Just my 0.02.
