ok, you know when you say "what's up" to someone then they reply by saying "not much" or "nothing much" well to tell you the truth, it's really annoying how they say that instead of saying what they're doing right now, it's either because they're to lazy to say what they're doing right now or they just want things to go faster or something, it's annoying isn't it?

I'd say, not much, posting in the forums chatting with some friends.

i always say "not much" because the phrase "what's up" is almost always a rhetorical question. I will answer when I am asked sincerely though.

I think the phrase "what's up" is annoying. There is no realy way of answering it other than "not much". If you need to know what a person is doning or how they are, then ask about it.
"Hello, how are you?"
"Oh, I am fine, thank you."
"What have you been doing today?"
"Oh, you see..."

"What's up?"
"That way. *Points up*"

I tend to delete 'what's up' comments on my profile after answering to them.
If that's all you bother asking, you do not deserve a better answer than 'not much' or similar phrases. It is really all to spammy, and does not display genuine interest... I tend to take it as 'oh hi, you're online, wanna earn some AP with me?', which I tend not to really have time to...


@Cenere:
I will adopt that answer.

Thank you~
I check my profile regularly while I'm online, but often I don't take the time to reply - if people wants to chat with me, they can add me on MSN (earning AP for chatting is silly), if they have a question I will answer as quickly as possible, and if I have a conversation going with them that progresses slowly because we're not online at the same time, I'll reply when I feel like it. I sort after importance, but get back to most people eventually.

Actually reminds me, there's some spam on my profile I need to take care of... And a bunch of comments. *sigh* I'm just more of a forum stalker.

Don't get my hopes up for what?
And indeed I can. >:3 But I like to point out to people that they need to make longer comments if they want to talk with me...

Though, if it's too long, I have problems with the writing of a reply... I have a minor wall of text from Drace that I've never replied to, actually feel kinda bad for that.

Or even no answer. Especially when it is just 'whats up', no grammar, no capitals, no anything... Is there not a guy names "Whatzup(somenumber)", who write 'whats up' on every profile he can find?

@Cenere:
I've seen that user, not sure if he does that or not...
But as I just posted, I like telling people that they need to write better if they wanna talk...
Just because. They may actually be interesting people, just not aware of how to start a conversation...
