Mine was on how bad Halo was... TBH this was (and is) the only forum I have been active on. So when I made it I didn't get how to use the whole "search bar" thing so I got to amuse myself with a chorus of "argh use the search bar" and so on. One guy was kind enough to answer my question though. My thread was actually about why it got popular rather than just "it is bad". I'm still foggy on why it, over other games, got popular (other than it had alot of money thrown at marketing and it came with the Xbox).

If you are being serious it is at the top of the "latest post" column of the thread list. Blue button saying "new topic"

This thread - http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.110558-If-you-were-a-serial-killer?page=1

It went for seven pages, earned me a few badges and it decided to make me stay on The Escapist.

Well unfortunatly the search bar only lets me go back to the 1st of April so I dunno how to find it. But if I recall, It was either a help thread, or a poll.

My first thread was a questionnaire about gaming habits for my college course. It went fairly well and the community helped me complete the assignment to a satisfactory standard.

My first thread was "What music helps you perform better while playing games" which was quickly criticised by RPG fans saying "you should enjoy the music" "they work hard on the scores"

i hated that thread

[a href="http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.115189-Poll-Scariest-horror-character"]This one![/a]

For those who don't want to click that, it's a thread asking what the worst antagonist is to face in a horror film. It currently has 100 replies, and it prompted the first post of at least two people.

To be honest, I was badge whoring at the time, and it got me one. If you feel like posting some more on it that's fine by me :)

It was about graphic novels and how many people read them, it was very boring.

I haven't made a thread yet, but I have one thing I've been meaning to post...
Might one ask what? Or if you don't want to ruin the surprise, a link when you post it would do. I suffer from extreme curiosity...

It was stupid. I haven't exactly been here long, but I was naive and thought it'd be cool to do one of those "Do you care about your post-count?" polls. Needless to say, 50 comments or so later it went dead, with probably half of them saying "It's already been done". I was such a fool.

Thought it was a pretty good topic, but didn't get many posts on it unfortunately;

If I remember correctly, it was something about pre-release hype about Fallout 3. Didn't fair too well if I recall correctly. Got about 5 responses total.

My first thread on escapist? well i found out about the escapist from my friend linking me Yahtzee's Red Faction: Guerrilla review, after that i sort of hung about for a couple of months before joining. Then on the day i joined i made my "whats your favourite Zero Punctuation review" in which case i was immediatly told by several people that the thread had been made dozens of times xD

shame on me :<

It's quite easy to recall what my first thread was here on The Escapist, as I made it but a few days ago: this review/expose of the new Orphaned Land album [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.188243-Gildans-Guide-to-Good-Music-Orphaned-Land-The-Never-Ending-Way-Of-ORwarriOR#5790556], created entirely so I could better inform the readership of The Escapist about an awesome album they probably didn't know about prior to me bringing it up.

As such I wasn't really aiming for much of a discussion.
