It seems there's a vast difference between how people treat their userpages. I've seen two obvious trends. There's the type of people that treat it as a blog. Post something that happens in their day and leave it there forever. This typically builds up and you're left with atleast 100+ news posts.

The other type is those who treat it as a news bulletin. Something that only needs to be posted every so often to portray a piece of information, maybe a long post about something that doesn't belong on forums, but needs to be published somewhere, e.g. a story.

I'm the type of person that likes to have no more than 5 posts at once. They usually contain a story I've wrote, or something important that's happened to me. Maybe just something that can't be posted in General because it breaks a rule of some-sort.

How do you treat your userpage?

I just update it with whatever's happening in my life. It's the closest I have to a blog, so I treat it as such.

I keep it pretty tidy, the most blog entries I have never had is 4 at a time, at the moment its 3.

It is pretty annoying when you see the list go 1....78...114, 115, 116

I mean, really, clean that out yo.

I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they would greet me with cries of hate.

I used to update it once a week, but I deleted 'em all besides two reasonably intelligent posts...

I usually end up deleting my old news posts, but I don't really make many to begin with.

10 news post. I just update the latest News Post.

Never made a post for awhile now, I'm planning to keep it that way.

Everything I see is just a image of my thoughts "Always looking for a better day..."

For me, both. I use it to post something that happened to me in the day, and leave it like that. And I also use it as a news bulletin.

I don't really have a lot of news posts. I deleted the majority of them from around redesign time, because they were shitty. But I really only update it when I feel like changing the look around.

Sometimes it's nice to have a bunch of text that you know no one will read, because it looks important.

Mine stay up for about a month, which makes them really outdated. Sometimes I just make posts like my current one, which i will leave up until I have something interesting to say. Which i don't.

I stole it because I'm an attention whore who knows that userpages get a lot of views if it's about one persons opinion on another user.

Well, obviously AlphaCenturai feels the same way, I hate going onto a userpage and seeing 100's of posts. I'd rather see 5 and be able to look through them casually.

I don't have a lot to say so I just posted my charity project progress on my page just to add in some content so it doesn't look so empty. I tend to keep the comments section tidy by deleting spam, trolling and sometimes off topic posts. If you are to post in my user page, then please wipe your feet.

I plan to post future projects in my blog because I enjoy reading people's comments.
