do you think it's a good practice to place the thread topic in the thread title? or is it better to make people read the thread to find out? i know most of the threads HAVE the topic in the title, but is it really all that great? i know that personally I'm more likely to go to a thread if there's a title that makes me wonder what the topic is. discuss.
I agree, if the thread makes you wonder than you're more likely to want to know what it is.Quote:

Yes.
I'm an idiot, so I go by how funny/interesting/1337 the name is.

I've been known to change thread titles if they are really stupidly vague. But I haven't done that in awhile.
So yeah, I think the title should have something to do with the thread. But that's just me. It's annoying to see a thread titled "Hippos are crazy!" and then open it up and the text be "Happy Birthday Big D!"
What if Big D got a hippo for his birthday?
I like to see the topics in the title because I hate wasting my time and going to a really stupid thread with a bogus title to lure people into reading them.
chaos: IMO, that's what makes the thread oh so more funner. :DQuote:
