Not much to talk about, is there?ElJuski said:

I’ve noticed a strange phenomenon and I want to know if it’s me or if it happens to others.
The way I post is I open the active posts to see what is going on, open 4 or 5 threads on different tabs, read the subject and post on each, refresh and respond accordingly, but from time to time I get the feeling I’m either a thread killer or something is wrong, because I am stuck with 4 tabs were nobody is posting after me.
Ever get this feeling?
Is it me?

Nah just kidding. I used to get that idea too. That mine would be the post that ruined the thread. But that was back in the Halfpixel days when I really didn't think anyone cared what I thought.
It was nice to be brought back to these forums by certain members who wanted me to return.
It let me open up a bit, and if I kill a thread, no worries.

Yeah, don't stop posting. I'm pretty sure you'd find I have killed far more threads than you have :-P
Actually, it's just that, with some posters leaving and others joining, depending on the time of day, some threads will gently get lower down on the first page. When you opened it up, it might've been one of the top 4 threads, but for new arrivals, it may have been pushed down to fifth or sixth place, and they miss it.
I, for one, ALWAYS have only one tab open on this forum. I always go back and forth to the general forum to see what other threads have moved, who has responded where, etc. While the reaction speed is slightly slower, it enables you to follow more threads - and notice newer threads quicker - than by just opening threads in a new tab.

I totally used to feel this way. When I first started posting on HP, I was half afraid of being run out by foaming-at-the-mouth, vicious trolls... but that's just because I've had terrible forum experiences before this. I like it here. ^_^ And if you don't care what I have to say... well, too bad. I'm posting anyway!Gusto said:/cricketsThe Mike said:

Useless fact: My current favorite cheese is Cambazola.
A pick axe?!? Did you find any Thorium ore while you were at it?HCGLNS said:
RANT: I started the Board Request category on the same day that the main phpBB site got hit with a 0-day exploit. So I have all of these cool things I want to do* but I CAN'T!
Stupid 0-day exploits.
*Things such as navigation buttons, quick reply and possibly even a new skin. The skin one is problematic because all of these little things I'm adding would have to be added again, which is a pain in the butt.

You know, I get the exact same feeling. I'd post something and then the thread would drop like a stone.Gusto said:/cricketsThe Mike said:

You should have no issues now. Are you still getting an error?Shannow said:
Argh! My husbands temper is getting worst and it's making me me so depressed and angry! He will literally freak out about the smallest thing and start throwing books or chairs around and then shout at me if I tell him to calm down or to stop destroying my shit!
His gamer rage has reached new limits. Get shot once? Hell! I'll throw my wallet at the wall and leave a huge dent! He won't eat anything that is cooked for him because it's not he wanted despite the fact I ask him what he want and he says "I don't care" or I'll tell him what I want to cook he'll say "sure' then have a fit when he doesn't like it.
It's just...just....so mind numbing. It feels like everything is my fault.

Is this a dramatic departure? You might need to talk to him when he's in a calm & good mood (like after nookie) and ask him if there's something else going on like additional stress. Or he may need to see a doctor for something neurological.LittleSin said:
I'm going to agree there, I know my dad has the random snaps like that when he's stressed too. Hope you can get him to talk to you and calm down.Gusto said:Mr. Sin has the Stress.
I recognise that behaviour from my very worst days, too. I'd bet money it isn't just gamer rage, but there's something else going on...As previous people said - try talking to him at a calm and happy moment, if there still some like that.
I could be off base again, but it might be pre-becoming-a-father-stress? Or something else entirely, of course.
