I hit the new post button for everything.

I also don’t use the ignore feature. There’s only a handful I’ve debated using it on and even then nobody is THAT bad here. Some of the nuttier posts are what makes it fun here.

Honestly? I pick only threads that interest me to start. In those threads, I'll read carefully until the thread becomes derailed (which is often) and then I start skimming the first few words of the post. If I don't like what I see, I just skip the post. "Don't waste my time" is my motto. For that reason, I almost always skip any post that has a projected lineup in it. I'm at the point where I consider that a complete waste of time.

Then if I'm really bored I'll start picking random threads in the off topic forum and see what people have been talking about for the last 2 or 3 days. Often it's not exciting, but every once in a while you find a gem of a thread.

Sometimes I read long threads in reverse order, just to see how the madness unfolded.

Some threads I just read the first page, then the 7th page to see how far off the original post things have gone.

Read any thread pertaining to it's actual subject, ignore any thread talking about how Sam Bennett sucks at hockey

Depending on the post, I read them as popular cartoon characters. Positive posts range from Kermit the Frog to Michelangelo, Negative posts include Snidely Whiplash, Fred Flintstone and Cartman( thanks to Ricardo), then funny or sarcastic posts are usually Archer or Sideshow Bob. Though I do reserve some voices for specific posters, but I don’t think I should reveal those.

I open most threads at least once hoping for a Crazy Bacon Legs post.

I read from the beginning until someone brings up how bad Bennett is and then skip ahead two pages at a time until everyone finally gets on to a new topic

Anything over a paragraph I don't read, unless it has a boatload of thanks or it's one of my fav posters.

Unless there is a fight happening. Everyone likes to watch a good dust up.

I secretly agree with some of the posters who are being trashed, then I slowly back away and don't say anything.
