Poll: First Thread - Win or Fail?

[Burningsok]

my first thread was about video game dialogue and all the weird dialogue that people have found.

This was my first thread. Two pages, mediochre.

Incidentally, I never did play the multiplayer....

I think my first was the "rare/hard to find games you own" thread, it got me a couple badges (1000 views and 50 replies, I think).

Incidentally, I'm sick of seeing/hearing the terms "win" "fail" and "facepalm." I don't know why.

Can't remember but it was about something trivial about 3 pages of replies I think.

My first thread was a console war topic, but I tried to keep the peace and keep it from turning into a flame war. Overall it went pretty well.
It scored me the "Hot Topic" and "Excellent Topic" badges.

I don't even want to remember my first thread. It was something about New SUper Mario Bros. Wii and only like three people posted. At least I think that's what happened, to be honest I never checked it again after posting it.

My first thread got about the standard three pages, it also got me the excellent topic badge. So, I'd say that's pretty good.

Ugh...

My first thread was just the word Moo.

'Nuff said.

My first thread made it three pages I believe. Not a huge success, but not a failure, at least, I don't think it was.

None of mine ever break four pages, even if I post an article on sex-bots...

 

[Not-here-anymore]

I just hunted down my first thread. It had zero posts! :'(

D'awww... what was it about?

Mine was, I believe, about Watchmen (the movie), and why it seemed to have attracted so much hate. It went OK, it got to 2 or 3 pages, coincidentally making it my best thread yet in terms of posts... Although I've only made 3 or 4 threads here ever...

I think mine had one post. I'll probably not make another thread in a hurry.

I learned that it is very rare to get any replies to a thread, even if the OP is totally awesome. It very quickly gets knocked from the first page of threads, so your only hope is to get a few replies within the first few minutes of its existance otherwise noone will ever get to see it.

My first thread was an okay thread, nothing special. And all my subsequent threads were, too.

 

[child of lileth]

Mine was about if anyone else plays doujin games. It went exactly as bad as I expected. lol

 

[Abedeus]

I have no idea. I think I had 1000 views or so. And the 50 replies thing. So I guess that makes my room full of mahogany books or something.

I've had one make it to four pages, one make it to three pages and two not even get to two pages.

 

[Ekit]

I don't remember my first thread. But I think it was "How would you make time pass in an empty room?".

It went really well, I thought.

3 pages, over 100 replies and it got to the "Hot threads" section.

It made me proud.

EDIT: I was wrong, my first thread was "What did you dream about last night?" It failed and I have no idea why. I thought that would be a thread with interesting replies that anyone can comment on.

 

[Milo Windby]

My first thread as an epic fail. I did not feel like a noob because it failed, one person did post in it. In fact not even sure why it failed. Either way I got one post in it and no one else posted.
I would link to the thread but then people would yell at me for trying to raise a dead thread o_o

It's actually kinda embarrassing. It was about the dumbest ships (when fans take two characters and decide they should have a relationship) in gaming. It also had a link to the TvTropes page on shipping, which is most likely one of the reasons nobody posted, they were on TvTropes.

Yeah, TVTropes links are bad... I get lost for hours there. My escape route? Turn off the power to my laptop when I enter. When it then automatically goes to sleep in a couple of hours because of battery, I stop. Because I have to. It's the only way.
