Reasons for starting threads

Jump to: Newest in thread

 

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

What’s your main motivation for starting a thread, is it to draw attention to yourself, to get more people looking at your profile so more people fab your photos thus sending you up the charts to page one, or maybe it’s cause you are genuinely interested in what people’s favourite colour is, or is it so you can do intellectual wheelies on a subject you read about 10 minutes again. So what’s your primary motivation for starting a thread, maybe it’s none of these excellent examples I stated, who knows it maybe cause you need to know more about something, or maybe you think the lounge needs spicing up with some healthy debate, even though no ones ever said ‘ You know what, I didn’t see it like that, you’ve open my eyes to a new way of seeing this subject, I was wrong and indeed you were correct, my sincere apologies. I will learn from this and try and be a better person in future!’

Usually because I want to know what to do with excess cucumbers or on one memorable occasion how to dispose of a giant dildo.

More calories than what!? You see, this is a very controversial and thought provoking topic. It's celery anyway and I don't have an excess of that.

The energy used to chew the cucumber cancels out the calories in the cucumber, that’s what I heard.

General musing, interest in something or just trying to open dialogue normally. But it’s a mix and match of everything. I do enjoy the ones started that are genuinely thought provoking as much as I enjoy the mindless flirting and having a laugh.

It’s good to see a variety of threads posted by different forum users.

Not a massive thread starter but usually because I have a genuine interest in something or because I need some help with something.

And getting into the spirit of the forums because it would be very quiet if no-one started any threads.

Sometimes it's because I've had a thought I want to share, and this seems like an appropriate arena in which to do so.

Sometimes it's because I'm hoping for some advice I might actually be able to implement.

Sometimes it's because I'd like a wee bit of sexy attention.

An idea pops into my head and I go you know what I'll start a thread on that. I post and watch what happens - it will either disappear, be mocked, engaged with, sometimes its a bit Leftfield, sometimes not. It is interesting watching the ebb and flow of threads and the tangents they can take. Or just disappear completely.

Another reason is I like writing and love the English language and I find it fun throwing stuff out there.
