Same old thread's over and over again.
Jump to: Newest in thread
Same old threads over and over again seem to do a lot better than something new or different. People comment a lot about the same threads though they seem very popular, whereas something different may only get a few participants. I have only been on the forums for a short while and noticed it time and time again. What's your thoughts? |

My thoughts are these .......
Depends on who is in and what they put a thread up for ....
Some put them up to share news. Some to moan. Some for games. Some to wind others up. Some for a laugh ......
I'm going out on a limb here. Some people stick to the simpler threads like ..... Do you like my wife's arse? Cos they find it easier to contribute to that than 'If you were a nuclear physicist , how would you account for ........... etc etc ? |

"The people who complain about threads being the same often don't start any. "
Ain't that the truth!
If you want someone fresh, different then instead of complaining contribute different types of thread   |

Yep. And I have to say I am getting a bit fed up of constant complaints about the forum. We are ALL the forum.  |

Definately in a trough right now
Sometimes it's best just to leave them alone for a bit and come back to them after a few days |

"The people who complain about threads being the same often don't start any. "
Have to agree. I can't say I crest posts of anything special, or all to often, but I have my own style and try to keep things less generic.
I also don't have issue with people who post the generic stuff, that's their style, I try to avoid what I don't enjoy or don't see a reason to get involved.
But very much what you say, just as in life we see complaints about things but very little effort on their part to change things or shake things up other than having a little moan themselves... Which is ironic really because moaning posts are a bit samey really too aren't they if you think about it.
Well damn... Mind blown and my eyes are now opened! |

Additionally can be down to longstanding or new members who have only just found the forums and not aware the subjects have already been raised time and time again or something has been resurrected from eg 12 months ago. |

I would very much like to see more threads centred around the principles of Existentialism.
…..or perhaps I wouldn’t….are we even real? Did I really type this? Where am I? Do I live?
What is that strange smell? |

There have been a couple of days with no mention of 'jaffa cakes', shhhhhh.
In any case, there's always something for everyone and often threads may start as something that takes an unexpected twist at some point. It's all just a bit of fun, I hope so anyway. I just contribute to anything that interests me or take a nap if not.

Hang on, I’m coming in with a reasonably serious point.
Don’t worry as it won’t last.
I can say and I have evidence, well witnesses, but I don’t like to talk about it, that I have been reasonable for initiating a thread or two that we would class as repeat offenders; and I’m also responsible for a lot of threads that go by the wayside.
Here’s the clever bit, people only notice the repeat threads because they are popular, and the reason that they repeat is because they are popular. Got it. Good I’ll continue.
The reason I post some good threads and some apparently rubbish ones (although I find them hilarious) is because I post the threads I think are funny or interesting or inclusive or silly and I don’t give tuppence as to what sort of reaction it will get.
I can’t leave this post without a little grumble. I don’t get when people take popular retreads (pun intended) and badge them as evening edition or part 94.675 or whatever, or even worse when the OP tries to lay claim to the thread, I saw a thread, one of the common ones and the OP had put as his opening gambit “thread title whatever it was, the original”
That’s when it all seems it’s about the OP and not the thread.
That’s about all I have to say about this.  |

The same old ones don’t get popular because they’re the same old ones, they’re popular full stop, which is why they get repeated. If something doesn’t get much attention, ergo it’s not popular, so it will never get repeated enough to turn into a same-old…
There are plenty of threads that are new that become popular, the Fab job vacancy one was great and original. I think there’s just a bit of perception bias going on |

Originality is lacking in general. Many people are probably upset they can't copyright their threads and are ticked off when most of them are cloned and used by lazy unimaginative people on other forums every single day. |

Some of the best threads (in my opinion) are ones that cause controversial debates, and many people don’t like starting those ones because they feel like they’ll be seen as “instigating” it and the brigade will put them on their no shag list |

Interesting point, a thread is just a conversation starter, it has no requirement to stay on topic (this one hasn’t, half the time) and I don’t see the ones where there are clearly opposing views as being negative, or hostile by definition, of course there will be disagreements, hundreds post in the lounge every day l. I mean, if a poster deliberately sets out to be controversial, then they probably deserve the inevitable blow back, and I’d rather see that than people meekly ignore it and hope it goes away.
A good example is the recent ish Tom thread about the Mare of London. Personally, I found it hilarious, light hearted rubbing at its best and poking gentle fun about some of the clichés of Toms threads without being insulting - but still saw people I’d never notice post anything before get on the bullying bandwagon. And you know what, that’s fine too, I just disagree.

Yes indeed; the butter melts deliciously with the saucy contents and as one goes to take that first, sensual bite of this culinary masterpiece….the contents invariably slip out all down one’s chin and front…. |

You want to try starting a thread to stir some interest in transvestites that normal people are happy to contribute to without it being hijacked by trans activists or trans phones or someone screaming at you that you are doing the trans community a disservice!
I mean blinkety flip, it is like traversing s minefield. In fact I have traversed a minefield before and it was easier than trying to open a transvestite thread on here without upsetting some loon! |
