Have you ever...

[Darth Pope]

...had a thread fail epically? You try to make an interesting discussion, but it never really goes anywhere. I know all my threads are usually lucky to pass twenty posts. I did have one once about describing yourself that did fairly well, but even that paled compared to other threads. Vent here, those who wish they could say something more interesting.

Well I'm still pretty new here, so I can't say much to that.

Maybe you are just having a hard time creating something really discussable. Your threads are clearly interesting if you have the On Fire badge.

Yes horribly a bit of the time,i do my best to make things interesting and relevant and even fun,but the thread dies....A slow agonizing painful death.

 

[Rakun Man]

Nope! Then again I've never made a thread...

I made a thread about annoying missions in GTA a few days ago and i've yet to see a reply to it.

 

[Low Key]

I made two threads. They received a combined 20 or so posts. I haven't made one since. I work better when replying to someone else anyways. I always have something to build on and I love to argue.

I like you.

Let's go bowling!

Most def.

But what's worse is when someone mocks or points out a flaw in your thread hehe.

At those moments I just picture strangling kittens... great stress relief.

 

[Marter]

Yeah. My 5000 post thread kind of flopped...

Wow, with your post count? Seems like all the Neonbobs of The Escapist would be a reply magnet.

Like I said, I had one moderately successful thread, and even that was pretty pathetic compared to others. I think it ended up with like four or five pages of discussion.

 

[sms_117b]

Everyone at sometime or another made a thread that's bombed, I've made several, 1 I think had 4 views after about 5 hours so...yeah.

In fact, I think my most replied and view thread is one where I deliberatley spelled a single word in the title wrong and told everyone in my first post, a lot of people complained about being tricked.

 

[Resurrectionist]

Pity Post.

 

[tthor]

yes, quite often sadly.
i'm beginning to wonder if the people of the escapist might just find me annoying lol

 

[Darth Pope]

Pity Post.

Your two words are a glorious balm upon my savaged ego...

 

[IzisviAziria]

Pity Post.

your avatar. I approve.

 

[S.R.S.]

Ask mrhappyface (I think it's something like that) He's made over 1000.

 

[RebelRising]

Yes, but those are usually reviews, and they generally get few replies anyways.

 

[Hashime]

Well, I've had treads go on for weeks, mainly the controversial ones, and had some with only a single reply. Don't be discouraged by lack of interest, just try again later if you really want to discus
