Some people make more threads than others...some way more...some so much more often than everyone else that you want to kill them with fire emitted from a combination of a torch and Vodka spit orally in their direction while lounging on some remote island off the coast of some country near China that no one besides people who live there or in China have ever heard of.

So this has always made me wonder: what inclines you to make threads, and how do you think up topics/pick topics to make threads on? I know it's not just whatever pops into your head, because then we'd have like a million new threads a day if people did that...oh wait.

Good topic idea!

I myself don't make threads very often. When I do make topics, it's usually something that I had in my head all day that I thought would make a good thread. Usually I'm wrong, but at work it seems clever.

A search on my own posts shows that the last two non staff forum threads I've made were both in April. One was wishing Jojo a happy birthday and the other was asking people what their favorite engine oil was. That sounded like a cool thread idea at the time, but it really was a dud. The one before that was a little more fun. In march, I asked guys if they had ever found a girl with facial hair attractive. It was pretty overwhelmingly no!

So yeah, I try not to make threads too often because most of my ideas are bad.

I just act on impulse, whenever I feel like I have something to tell, or show, I make a thread to share my passion. It's really that simple.

All the threads I make are of the important stuff in life. Like that time I proposed to Roogle.

What makes you make a thread about making threads? :roll:

I make them if something comes up or I see a decent thread that has been used on another forum.

Most of the forums i go on are just general chat and i tend to post alot of random things. the people who have as bad a sense of humour as i do find it amusing and in turn they do the same becoz i find it amusing. usually if i want to talk about something serious, i go to another forum site where their is usually a different class of people

Why not make a thread on how simple it really is?

Usually mine are based on things that I find funny or interesting, but most of my threads are about bands.

Oooh, a metathread.

If something strikes me as a good topic, then I do it. I do it sparingly, though.

I hardly ever make threads. So I can hardly remember what half my threads are about :p I just choose to post in threads rather than actually make them.

But considering I don't really make topics, it kinda says something. :p

I usually post about things I want to know, things that happened to me, or spammy things that I think will amuse me for a while. ^^ I don't post threads too often.

Last time I made a topic was...jesus, probably a year ago. I've only made about 4 all the time I've been here. I had an idea for a good one sometime last week, but I forgot and I can't remember it.

Whatever is on my mind becomes a thread topic, unless I'm playing ps2, then I just spam a current thread with that question.

Hm, i don't make threads very often but if i do it's about some minor thing which I'm thinking about.

I never make threads. Though I made one about roflcopters once. That thread owned. :D

It takes something pretty special to get me to make a thread. Like roflcopters. :]

My threads always succumb to spam, half of it is mine too!

I rarely start threads, but when I do, they're EFFING fantastic.

I don't really make many threads (compared to some people) and when I do, it is usually something I want to know about, or what people think about something. Which basically covers every possible thread idea :p

That says it all. And more.

When I first joined I remember I made quite a lot of threads, but now I never create any at all.

Yeah, I'd say that's the mentality that most omfg-i-post-teh-thred-nau users have.

I post threads when I'm feeling hot and bothered.

I don't make threads. And when I actually do, even though I don't, it's just because I'm either bored out of my mind or feel like being silly... and sometimes I'm making FF challange threads... and in a VERY FEW cases I actually come up with a half-assed topic. But that's about it. :p
