I've noticed on Howrse that 8 main types of posters show up to answer a Game Play question thread. Let us examine them.
- The
 No-Nonsenser. This specimen is generally easy to classify. Their
 answers tend to be short and to the point and are generally adequate
 and further answering is unnecessary.
 
- The
 Reiterater. This specimen builds upon the No-Nonsenser, generally
 adding superfulous information for the sake of looking more
 informative. The Reiterater tends to travel in packs.
 
- The
 Budding Mod. Much like the Reiterater, The Budding Mod will over
 answer a question by adding any bit of information they deem
 relevant to the topic at hand whether or not it is helpful. This specimen differs from the Reiterater in that they can generally be
 found in most any open thread, whereas the Reiterater tends to be
 less organized.
 
- The
 Party Crasher. This specimen has a question, a really important
 question. They could just make their own thread, and chances are
 they already did, but they're going to post in the topic with the
 most recent activity anyway. Why? The Party Crasher likes to make
 sure all their bases are covered.
 
- The
 Late to the Party. Hey guys, nice thread you've got here... Mind if
 I join you? Guys? Guys...?
 
- The
 Necromancer. You thought this thread was dead and gone? You were
 wrong. The Necromancer is not bound by the same constraints that we
 mere mortals struggle to overcome. They bravely venture into the
 darkness that is the second page and return, like a grave-robber in
 the night, with their prize: a rather dusty and most likely
 completely irrelevant thread from days long past.
 
- Clueless and Proud. This specimen doesn't know the answer to your question. Furthermore, they're not even sure what you're talking about. Nonetheless, they'd like to inform you of their inadequacy.
- The
 Carebear. CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? Stop being so mean! The
 Carebear is determined to protect the feelings of others no matter
 the situation. Misplaced thread? Offsite advertising? Rant? It
 doesn't matter, the Carebear knows it was only a mistake and you won't do it again. It happens to everyone. The Carebear
 understands.
 
 
This is so mean but I can't stop laughing ~~ (‐^▽^‐)
