Starting threads

[oldkicker]

Do you wait until you have a really, really good idea for a thread? One that will stimulate conversation, or that you think is pretty funny, or that is really informative.....

Or have you posted threads like this one?

 

[Saffron]

Oooooh, I've posted many a thread like this one in my DIS years.

 

[oldkicker]

I've posted a few P2ET's over the years. (Page 2 Express Threads)

Sank like stones!!!!

Hey there Bernie!

Very rarely post new threads!

Just get myself in trouble posting on others

 

[deirdrefitch]

I have posted and killed many threads like this one. The killings were purely accidental.

It depends on my mood, Bernie. This past year, most of my threads have been asking for emotional support and the CB has been there for me, everytime.

I've posted many times, though, and the post was on page 3 before you could say Walt Disney. Oh well....

 

[jx3smom]

I start very few threads.

I'm not really a good thread starter. I think you have to sometimes nurture them along....talk to everyone as they respond. That's what makes a really, really good thread.

 

[CRB#33]

Okay!

Hi Gina

Read any good books lately?

 

[CRB#33]

See, I'm nurturing Bernie's thread for him

 

[OhMari]

I start a thread and they usually really bomb or it gets picked apart, and I get yelled at. So I just try to respond and then I end up killing the thread.

 

[BONZO]

I don't start so many these days as this board moves soooooo fast and I can't keep up!

 

[helenabear]

I start very very few threads... the ones I usually start, are almost sure to take off

I will start one here or there, but I usually wait until I have something "good"

But Bernie, who said this isn't a good thread to begin with? I think it hits on a bit amusing, good conversation starter and all that

 

[gina2000]

Sent you a PM, CRB, on books!

 

[Dan Murphy]

I take a whack at anything, some make it, some die a quick, merciful death, LOL.

 

[mtblujeans]

I usually start a thread when I need help! I am so selfish....it's all about me!!

 

[TalkisCheap]

I rarely ever start a thread. I think I've started like 4 in all my time on the DIS. 2 were clubs. One, i got flamed pretty bad, and the second, no one seems to replying too...oh well, I'm still holding out for some help on the sims

 

[Kitty 34]

I like to ask "question" threads. What do you like? What was your first car? etc etc.

I like to start non-debate type threads as there's enough of the other kind around here anyway!!!

Lets see, the last thing I posted was something I thought pretty innocuous and the next thing I know the thread is 14 pages long and people are angry.

I think I'm gonna start replying to threads and leaving the starting to someone else.

Yes, you are quite the Popular one...... I like the threads you start, they are interesting to say the least.
