It seems like every time I make a thread no one ever responds to it and barely even gets above 10 posts. Everyone elses threads get filled up fast. Is it just me or does this happen to you guys to?

I did however make a thread that got over a 1,000 posts though.

Make a thread about politics or religion. It'll get a lot of posts...

Maybe they're just not very interesting threads?

While it depends on what the thread's about, usually, if it's not a religion, politic, popularity, or any similar debate thread, it won't live too long. There, are of course, always exceptions, but it usually holds true.

HOLY COW THAT GUY HAS A MONOCLE. Also, it's not that hard to work out. Look at what the text is when you frickin quote him guys... sheesh.

monoclemanHAHA! NOW I HAZ UR POWERZmonocleman

also, if your topics are failing dude, just make something that will provoke some sort of debate/argument. something controversial usually works. if that doesn't work, make a poll or something involving hot women

Somtimes I post in a thread and it dies. Sometimes I think my posts kill threads so don't be surprised if I post and then this thing dies.

Make a thread where something can be discussed. If you just post about something interesting people will look in the thread, say "hmm, that's interesting", and leave without posting.

You gotta make something that sparks discussion, not something like,

"Oh yea, I do that."

For you it's 2 pages but it's just barely over the halfway mark for me.
