Have only made one thread, it was decent. Got some good response on it. Will make another if I think of a subject.

It went fairly as far as I can remember. But I want my posts to be a bit different (as far as I know that is) because topics like: best movie, best game, best gamesong or whatever are done over and over again or just make a topic about worst whatever... and you will probably get a lots of pages. I try to make something creative in a topic and tough it doesn't generate as much respons as the above named, I will have only 3 pages of post to read about what I really find interesting. It's not the quantity that counts for me.

Mine never made it to page two. I think my problem was that it didn't have a poll, I've tried adding a poll to my second thread. It can be found here:

I feel pretty good about the substance of my threads, they just don't seem to catch on. Perhaps shameless plugging will help.

My first thread was asking for peoples stupid reasons their significant others broke up with them. It went 5-6 pages. I would say that went very well.

What was your first thread posted (if posted), and what did you learn?

Mine was about agreeing on Yahtzee's view on games. *facepalm* I learned my lesson and I feel a little less noobish.
My first thread was about if the Escapists had a girlfriend. And I can only say one thing:
TOTAL SUCCESS!!!!!
It earned me 5 badges, but I never managed to create another thread with that type of success.
EDIT: The two middle badges that you see to the left are some of the ones.

I had an idea for a thread once, around the time of the whole Activision debacle with Bobby Kotick and his 'subscription fee' insanity. I used a search bar and no one apparently had the same idea before, but I decided not to take the chance. That and I was extremely tired so I just wanted to get to bed.

Mine was about 'The Strongest Alcohol You've Tried'. Hit 7 pages I seem to remember which I was chuffed about.

My first thread was about what people thought about Christmas. It wasn't a failure but I sort of learned that you have to be very original and be very lucky of your thead is going to make it somewhere...

BTW, not to be an asshole or nothin' but I give this thread a chance of 3... maybe 4 pages before dying. If it does, you shouldn't feel too bad. It's a success if you got over 100 replies. ^^ (and 3/4 pages is just about that)

Do NOT use those damn words in my presence.

I think my first thread was "What's your favourite sandbox game". I think it got onto two pages but I rarely have much success with my threads.

My first thread actually wasn't too long ago. It went good, although I DID accidently double post the same topic. Oops :/

Just looked it up, it was a fail. My first post was about the torture that is playing fable 2 co-op on the same screen, it got 4 posts and generally people disagreed.

Don't think I've posted my first thread here on The Escapist yet.
