Ugh, I know. I used to love these threads in the off topic and gaming discussion but now most of them suck and I avoid these most of the time... User groups are a godsend
Too many threads!!!

You can't change what people enjoy.
There is a reason that Two and a Half Men has the largest (I think) audience, and it has little to do with quality scripting and deep themes.
You are in the wrong forum if you want anything thought provoking, and you are going about it the wrong way if you have an issue with people not responding to your threads.

Some threads will get alot more attention than others simply because of the title. Have you seen the "Oh No! You're going to be Executed! What is your Last Request? [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.182837-Oh-No-Youre-Going-to-be-Executed-What-is-your-Last-Request]" thread? I made that 2 days ago and it is still going moderately strong.

I think that one of the only reasons threads either get applauded or ignored is because of three things: the Title of the Thread, the Content of the Thread, and the Subjct Matter of the Thread. If the thread has an interesting, amusing, or generally just attention grabbing title then more people will click on it to see what it's about.
2:
If it well thought out, grammatically correct and everything is spelled correctly, then more people will read through the post. This means that people will understand what you are talking about.
3:
If the Thread concerns an interesting thing, something that affects everyone or a majority of people, then people will post!

PROFIT!

It really is quite simple, when you think about it.

Well to be honest, I don't see this one generating that much discussion either. Maybe you should tryyyyy getting off your high horse or some shit?
It kind of seems that way.ExaltedK9 said:
You complain that they're are too many bad threads, but you're admitting to pushing out tons of average threads at once, and clogging up the pages. If you make a good thread it will almost always shine through. I'd agree with you if these threads had any real poignancy but they're all just a little bland.
Well, it's more peoples opinion that decide what is a "good thread". But I agree, there are plenty of irrelevent posts out there that do nothing what-soever. I've posted a few threads asking for help with things, but I get about 1 or 2 comments that aren't very helpful. Thats when I snapped and made a poll about what favourite Breaking Benjamin song do people like.
At times I feel there isn't enough threads, hence the retreat into Forum Games and User Groups which keep me entertained for a good few hours. Once spent 15 hours in a User Group and once spent all day and night in just two forum games.
Twas fun.

"a prefect time"? I thought I joined a forum, not some sort of flowchart sorority...Aby_Z said:
Also, I feel your pain. I, once too, in a deep dark history, had a pretty amazing thread(can't find it anymore, was about games you played over and over). I had to bump it 3 times before it took off, because people rather posted what they had for breakfast...
A quick edit, I noticed Furburt's post a little late:

I don't have a problem with the number of threads that are posted as most of them don't interest me. My only problem is when I do see a thread that grabs my attention but it has received 60 replies in 20 minutes, it's pretty difficult to create any input in a thread that is being bombed by respones.
If you want a thread with lots of views and posts you probably have two choices. Either make a thinly disguised list or vs thread, or else give the thread an ambiguous or misleading title - causing people to click it just to see what the hell it's about.

In my opinion there aren't too many threads. There are plenty, sure, but that's the way I like it. However, there aren't enough threads made at around 1 or 2 in the morning EST which is when I'm on if I'm not at work. The forums get pretty barren around then.
So you've created a thread complaining about how there are too many threads? I hope the irony isn't lost on you.
Well maybe a lot of people don't want massive spoilers for a game they are either playing or going to play. That would explain one of the threads.
But also sometimes it depends on the time you post new threads, if you post when most people are at work or asleep then you won't get many replies and the thread will die before most people get a chance to read it.

To quote Sam Elliott for The Big Lebowski, "Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you." I had good threads and bad threads, it's hit or miss.ExaltedK9 said:
