South East Midlands NOT

Die a slow and painful death (those either 0 replies or very few I mean!) and some skyrocket, reaching 175 posts in no time at all.

What is the key to a successful thread? Controversy? Originality? Hilarity?

Controversy.

The popularity of the OP.

Timing.

In that order. And each can trump the other.

A combination of originality,presentation,appealing subject matter, inclusively and timing.....posts can live or die depending what time of day you put it up.

Can be anything on here - I've filled one or two before, but my Hippie thread is on it's 4th repeat, and that's just general silly playfulness I think.

Brighton - even Hove!

I actually do try to post on a thread that's just started as its horrible to start one and no one bothered to reply on it. I don't 'catch 'em all' but do try.

Controversy, every time, I found that there is always someone ready to try to take me down I've found, but I just ignore them and let the fact tyhat I didn't bite, fester in their little minds

From my observations, controversial threads and threads that anyone can join in with seem to be the most popular.

Regular threads, like the Nocturnal Roll Call & PP & Tosh's morning threads are popular too.

I have started threads that get to 175 quickly many times yet I have also started threads that don't have any responses at all.

Could be any number of reasons. .

I am not little miss popular.

I might have posted it at the wrong time of day.

People online not interested in the topic I posted.

Any number of reasons. ..

All good

Popularity of the OP.

The subject / controversy it's going to cause.

Opinionated / subjective threads.

Timing

Not necessarily in that order but I think that covers the main ones

Timing has come up a fair bit. I guess posting at 4.30am isn't going to get you very far!

Not unless it's a 'why am up this late & on Fabs' type thread

Still being relatively new to the forums I've seen how difficult it can be to engage in discussions.

I don't think this is often intentional but you can decide to give up and not bother.

I'm a stubborn little thing though and I've chatted to lovely people from the forum so I stuck it out.

You can see the freeze though.....it's not nice to feel like it or witness it.

Just my personal experience.

Thursday Rant day opened at midnight and by 4am this morning had hit over 100.

So, moaning is the answer to your question.....

Can't say I take much notice of who the Op is so definitely not popularity for me.

I do like tongue-in-cheeks threads and anything to do with music/tv/film.

Mrs rugby has a way of killing threads..

Often the same subject by a different gender gets a better response...

Subject (some are done to death, how big Is 'vwes??)

Time

The Original poster (less importance imo)
