What was your most successful thread?

[Daye.04]

One of us! One of us! One of us! lol

Yeah =P
But that's actually more relevant than you think. For me, at least. I've allways thought of the Gone Gonzos as the pillars of this community (Yes. even Max). The ones who are above the others, when it comes to the community, since they've contributed so much. I've definetely allways thought of them as above me, that's for sure =P

how do you check?

You can't. Not at the moment, at least. I do, however, believe that the mods are thinking about inserting a feature that sums up all the threads you have made. Sort of like it is with comments

Yes. I'm gonzo. *sigh* I guess it's time to become an elitist.
I was having so much fun being naïve!
I was having fun, posting back and forth with other newbs like myself. Alas, I must say goodbye to that. Now it's time for me to grow up, and be an elitist. Sad, grey world. Here I come ...

One of us! One of us! One of us! lol

No! Stay away from the light Daye! Don't go to the dark side!

Daye..? Daye..? DAYE!!!!!

JK. I rather like most of the Gonzos and higher. Only 391 posts until I become a Gonzo.

Lol, you would have liked the thread I made about 'Do you respect people with more posts more than others?' The response was generally yes people do, simply because of the seniority thing more than anything else. You're a part of it now!

So far, i've only made 1 thread, which was about commercials in games. Theres so many threads already, half of which are of poor quality or repeats of overdone topics, so untill i have something relevant and original i'm not gonna make another one

You remember your parents telling you to take care of your childhood? Outlive it?
And you remember that when you hit 18, you suddenly realize you should have listened to them?
Yeah, this is the same. Enjoy your pre-gonzo. Outlive it. I feel it allready.
Of course, what do I know? I'm just a lame gonzo, right? Remember I once thought like you. Now there's no way back. I can't go back to pre-gonzo. Enjoy your time while you can. Trust me. Please

I saw it. Read through it. And decided not to post my opinion, since it was allready said in the thread. I did. But I'm pretty sure there was just as much people saying that they respected people more just based on their current post, rather than their post count.

Also. All of sudden, this thread has ventured into being part "Your first thread"-thread, and part "Yey! Daye.04's goen gonzo!"-thread =P

Lol, for your gonzoation post I would like to see you make a thread called 'How did you get your gonzoation post'. Yours would be especially unique as you got it by asking others the question!

 

[GyroCaptain]

I'm rather proud of the fact that I had over 800 posts before making a thread. It was a "that's what she said" thread.

 

[Flour]

Almost 550 posts since I joined a year ago, and I still haven't made a thread.
I also doubt I'll ever make one, I'm even surprised I have nearly 550 posts.

Dibs on this Idea! *cocks shotgun and aims at people who try to steal it*

That actually is a very good idea. And to Daye, I say this. You can go back to the Pre-Gonzo status... but you'll have to create a new account.

 

[tijuanatim]

I lurked for a while before making my own thread. I posted in other threads and wanted to make sure I was living up to the high Escapist standards.

My first thread was about whether or not people enjoyed watching Professional Wrestling. It was surprisingly succesful and I received very few 'Wrestling is gay and you must be gay'/'It's SO FAKE' comments.

I've only made a handful of other threads because most of the time when I search the topic it has been done 2-3 times already.

 

[zenoaugustus]

Mine was about disliking mainstream games, and it was banned in under 2 hours because apparently its not okay to dislike games.

Lol, no problem, happy to have you steal my idea (especially when you have a shotgun handy...). Then you'll learn what my gonzoation post was! Hah hah! (it wasn't that exciting...)

Yeah, but shut up, dude! You're kinda ruining my moment

*goes off to look at the stars, thinking about how his Escapist life was before everything became so complicated*

Also. I wouldn't be as well-known, if I'd make a new account. Right people?
*wind blowing, a desert-runner run across my desk*
Oh well. Guess I'm not really known, then

 

[ThaBenMan]

I made my first thread somewhere between my first 100 and 200 posts. It was asking what people thought about the way the Escapist keeps track of how many posts you've made, and how that figured into your opinion of what somebody posts - is someone's thoughts more valid or better than someone else's because they have a higher post count, etc. It was pretty successful, with 4 or 5 pages, and it was even necro'd a few months later (and this was the before-time in the long-long-ago, before there even were badges! Now you damn kids get off my lawn!)

You shall soon join us in our layer! Although I am now a double Gonzo... *flirts with mild depression at the time spent on this site*

 

[zacaron]

my first thread was about 20-50 posts in, cant remember exactly what it was about just that it was a question regarding religion and it got locked pretty fast, that was the first time one of my threads got locked the next was 1000 posts later during the fallen earth contest when I expressed my frustration with the six factions question.

 

[Studd_Jozz]

Ahh, me first thread. I remember it like it was about two months ago. Wait...
Anywho, it took me, pfft, I dunno how long it took to start it, but it was a personal thread, that will always stay in my bookmarked list, even though I was wrongly accused of trolling. Great lot of help that was.
And now I'm terrified to make another thread, in fear of getting suspended, or even banned.

 

[Bofus Teefus]

After lurking, using the search button, and checking out common reasons for locks/mod wrath, I created a list thread *facepalm* with a scope so narrow it generated a whopping 1 (one) response. This is a badgeworthy feat by itself. I did catch on later that list threads are not good here. My second was better thought out...and in the wrong forum.

I think the few I've done since then are much improved over those.

 

[deletemeplease107]

I made a thread back when their was that pathetic 4chan raid on our site.

I also made a poll about the Stewart Vs Cramer debate

Your post made me laugh so hard. Yay for list threads!
