How far back do you look at questions on AB? Is a question on page 30, 100 or 500 essentially dead?

The farthest back I have made it is around page 30. I know that others on the bag have gone farther, but I tend to suffer from ADD and I find it difficult to... Oh look! A chicken!
-
Not in my case. I actually like buried pages because they are a mine of "flaggable" questions.
-
When AB is dead I generally click at random pages, sometimes I go well into the hundreds! Mostly I look for unanswered questions but I do answer anything that looks good and where I feel I can add something to the question!

Obscure questions can be quaint little treasures that are a pleasure to answer. A lot of good questions don't get answered because they aren't popular since they usually require some mental ability and I hate to say it but AB is in short supply of intellectually minded user. It is a sad commentary on the state of affairs.

As long as there is an interest and time, there is no such thing as a dead question or page. I can go as far as it takes to give a helping hand.

I might go back a week or so to answer stuff and its also my cut off point.

No limit here........M.C.S.

I look way back if AB is slow, or short on questions I'm interested in answering, but I often look for questions with only a few answers or no answers at all.
-
I'm all over the place, I bring up questions from a year back. I do this by searching via the history links and by searching key words.

I go way WAY back. I like looking up certain subjects with the Search feature. That allows you to find questions that aren't even shown on the pages currently in use as they only go back about 6 months. I like new questions but often times there isn't much action on the front page so I go looking for interesting things to answer. I will sometimes pick a big category and go back 100-200 pages in an evening. I've started on the last pages and worked my way up. I love this site and find different ways to have a good time here. Exploring and category adventure is what makes it fun for me.
