Oh my goodness, this topic. <3
I can totally relate. Once a new thread is posted (by me), I would refresh my page every once in and awhile and wait. Then, I would leave and check how many visitors had checked it show far. Then, later on, maybe an hour, I check again to see if I have any new posts.
But if it have been 6 hours and no reply, I instantly get insulted and think it's unnecessary or just don't make any sense. Or, maybe its me and how I write; I'm bad at explaining things. Really.
But yeah, I'm a person who's likes to check every hour or so.
