OT: It could be the way the threads are arranged. There's no voting system and thus, no way to sort through the "fun" posts or get any feedback on your own post unless someone replies/quotes you. as such, most of these threads will consist of a few people going back and forth and posts like this one which will end up on the second page will get no attention from anyone other than silent lurkers (hi silent lurkers!).
of course, this also makes the threads feel like actual discussions as opposed to debates where the winner has the most up votes
