What Makes You Open a Thread?

[juicylips]

The thread starter?

The posters?

The topic?

How many replies there are?

[WhiteRose]

*LOL* The topic

 

[freescorfr]

The thread starter?

Yes certainly - always your JL, at this time. I'm in awe of your ability to start threads - fun, games, and sometimes quite poingant.

The posters?

yes. All the people on the list I won't publish.

The topic? I often open a topic after it's gone on a while, thinking it's not interesting but Lavy or Dilly or the many others whose posts I like to read has posted, to see it's turned into something different and good.

How many replies there are?
two thousand four hundred and ninety one.

The thread starter?

My primary reason for reading any thread is the person who started the thread. There are many thread starters who amaze me with their topics and insights, and I particular enjoy the originators who always come back to "their" threads for further responses.

The posters?

Not especially. Except for searching for topics Oman may have responded to (we both use these boards to keep more in touch with each other), it rarely matters to me who else is posting in a particular thread.

The topic?

Yes, this is my second criteria! I'm almost jealous that I haven't been able to think of very many interesting topics, so when a subject hits "home", I'm there.

How many replies there are?

Maybe on return visits to the same thread if it's a fascinating "conversation" going on within.

Thanks Juicy!

The topic usually makes me open a thread. The number of posts sometimes deter me from opening a thread unless it's something not too serious.

#1. The title. I usually don't open the blatant sexual ones, "Who wants to eat cum..."

#2. The poster. There are a few people here who I just don't care to hear from. Period.

#3. The number of replies. If there are 10,000,000 replies, I probably won't open it. I can't read all the posts, and I like to be able to do that at least the first time. So I don't repeat things already said.

#4. The last poster, see number 2.

Usaully the poster and the topic is the catcher for me

 

[Temptress_1960]

The thread starter?

Nope, that's more apt to stop me from opening it.

The posters?

The posters are a big factor; depending on who posted last I'll either open it or not. I like to avoid those posters who are just trying to run up their total posts, or the ones who just post an "Mmmmmm" or an emoticon as a reply. What a waste of time.

The topic?

The topic is the No. 1 reason why I'll read a thread.

How many replies there are?

Number of replies is the No. 1 reason why I won't open a thread. Too many replies, and I just don't bother

I'm more likely to open a thread if it's started by a woman than a man. Those tend to get priority anyway.

I also prefer it if there are just a few posts to hundreds and hundreds. I like small intimate conversations, not mobs.

I don't really have anyone on here that I really don't like. Even the few mean posters I have seen haven't directed anything at me, so I'm fine.

The topic usually has to at least catch my eye, since there are sooo many on here.

ditto!

Lots of emphasis on the title though. If the title doesn't sound like something interesting, I don't open it. Sometimes I later find I've missed a great thread because I didn't open it right away though. Titles don't always match the content around here, amazingly enough.

The 'Starter' or the topic. The same reasons that I don't open some threads.

That basically covers it for me, but (for 2 and 4) I often open threads BECAUSE of the person who started it or last posted, just to see what he/she had to say.

Yes, sometimes a huge thread isn't what it started out to be and you are lost when even trying to figure out what to post or how to respond.

[Nicodemus]

Who started it definately affects me.....certain people tend to start interesting conversations which I enjoy reading if nothing else. If I have somthing to add then I do but I have to agree that just adding mmmmmm seems a little silly.

The topic/title of the post can catch my eye also.

Nic,

ps.....also, sometimes it provides an opportunity to introduce myself to someone I find interesting but do not know. I like to find an opeing rather than just jump in someones proverbial face or interupt there conversation.

So you use threads to pick up Lit chicks?

Worked with me, didn't it?

Mixture

of the thread starter and the subject. Some subjects are just off topic (Although I like political shit. ) Some people just draw good responses (J.L. included, of course) and have a knack for starting good threads. . .
