I made a list of some reasons people seem to make threads here...

  1. I make threads for every thought that pops in my head
  2. I make threads when I'm too lazy to Google something
  3. I make threads to ask for personal opinions because I cannot choose for myself
  4. I make threads due to boredom
  5. I make threads because I think people like reading my threads
  6. I make threads for "the lulz"
  7. I make threads to have discussions with people
  8. I make threads to inform people of things
  9. I make threads because I don't see other threads I want to post in
  10. I make threads because you NEED me to make threads
  11. I make threads because I don't know when to stop making threads...
  12. I don't make threads

I could probably add more reasons that are more specific to some thread-making habits...But I got tired of writing

This thread mostly falls into #4, by the way

How about you?

I think I've only made 2 or 3 threads in all my time here. One was a serious discussion and the other I can remember was for comedy.

For me, it's probably #3 and I THINK # 5. People just might like my threads because most of the time I have a poll. :P

I guess the closest was number three. I usually create a thread if I stumble upon a subject that fascinates me, and I respect some users here and would love to hear their opinion on the subject. If I'm bored, I'll usually post in RC; but that's pretty rare, and usually only occurs between the hours of 3 - 4am. :P

I rarely make threads but when I do they are awesome (See last year's FragStains' Rating Value thread) but they are underattended. Most likely due to most users being intimidated.

  1. I don't make threads

spazzx625

That's my ticket. ^

Last time I tried to contribute to this place with a thread of my own, the discussion it generated made me want to physically end myself.

You forgot to add the one where people make threads asking a question that has an obvious answer from the beginning.

"Hey OT... [insert unnecessary paragraphs] ...So this hot girl told me she liked me then started making out with me at a party. Do you think she's interested?"

:roll:

Also, i don't make threads.

I make a thread when I cant figure out a way to word a google question. That's my main reason for making a thread but sometimes when I am bored I'll just make a thread based on what I am thinking.

I think I've made a total of 6 threads here in OT in the past year maybe. After that, none of them really fit a pattern. So I guess whenever I randomly feel like it.

You need silliness and derailing in every thread. :)

For OT, if there is some breaking news, and I see no one else has posted it, I'll do it. As for the GGD, I pretty much make threads whenever there is something new about a game I'm looking forward to.

I make a thread when I find something that's interesting/awesome and think it will not show up on the radar of OT (as in- the radar of a nerdy northern american in his teens/twenties). That said, the thought invested to responses ratio is clearly in the negative, so i'm not about to make another in the near future.

Every 10,000 posts. Seriously, when I first started posting, I created threads, and nobody posted in them. Come to think of it, barely anybody posted in my 10 or 20k topics. Eh, whatever, I enjoy posting rather that creating.

Boredom, mostly. Though I rarely create threads because there's enough **bleep** on OT as it is. I usually limit my posting to weird Canadian news stories or things that would usually show up here.
