Forumites who don’t start threads

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

You’re a curious bunch, but I admire your lack of attention seeking. I can think of a few forum regulars who I’ve never seen start a thread. But my question is, you must think that would make a good thread, but what stops you starting one, or do you just don’t feel the need, or are there other reasons ?

Because I'm not in the clique and therefore it's futile to start a thread that no one will enter or indeed participate in, thank you

Not wanting to bring thread down. Been a bit out of character and not myself. Ties in to not posting threads much as, for me, its directly linked to changes in my inner balance. I'm a shitty person when things get on top so find it hard to bring myself to that decent grin worthy thread. It's not permanent. It's not even long. But those nearest and dearest receive my 'lashes out' and it's hard to rectify that no matter how much I want to. I find if you lash out here Fabs has a long memory. Until that equilibrium is reached (and it will be) I steer clear and avoid the posting.

I've wondered a few times why, with all the complaints people have had about the 'decline in thread quality', more people don't post the type of threads that they find interesting.

The replies here seem to be tantamount to essentially being worried that they will sink without a trace.

They’re my favourite threads that I start, they’re like the cool indie bands compared to the thread fillers that are like stadium rock bands. I have no idea what I’m talking about.

I’ve started threads in the past, not many it has to be said.

To keep the thread going it does need a certain amount of interaction I think from the OP, which I don’t always have the time for.

Unless it’s on a topic that lights the blue touch paper and then it’s a race to 175.

Why does a lack of replies put you off? It's not a popularity contest, I don't think.

I post almost as much as Tame, like Tames, a few go under the radar. I doubt either of us are that bothered when they do. Even though it's probably clear we do revel in the attention when we do get it.

I can't speak for him, but it's not always attention I'm looking for. Sometimes it's to express an opinion, to have a question answered or get something off my chest. I post for all sorts of reasons..

Unless it's "Ratemywilly.com" I'm not really fussed about how many answers I get. That's when my exhibitionist gets the better of me.

I'd like to see more posts from Forumites I'm getting to know a bit, but rarely initiate a post.

I thought it was because you'd all been there and done it.

A while ago I likened starting a thread to nurturing a plant from a seed;

1-10 posts - it's a weak little seedling, a sharp comment or post will kill it off, requires nurturing.

11-20 posts - growing stronger but requires attention to keep it going.

21-40 posts - it's starting to shoot faster now, it requires less tending and can be left on its own for a while

41-80 posts - it's taken on its own life now and is flowering

81-120 posts - you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your efforts

121-150 posts - it's getting rangey now and growing in unexpected and weird directions

151-175 posts - it's started taking over other parts of the garden, it's more trouble than it's worth and you wonder why you planting the fucking thing in the first place...

It wasn't controversial - it was asking about Fab members' experience of another website. I was banned for mentioning the website. The website concerned says you need a Fab recommendation to join it!.... WTF? as the acronym goes. I e-mailed the Fab moderators to ask if they own this other website, which is widely reputed to be owned by them. I am still awaiting a reply.

I never really thought we were supposed to keep them going. I just ask something I find interesting, to get people's thoughts and opinions. I think of my threads like a pub chat. Someone brings up a topic and everyone chats about it. Or they get bored and chat about something else.

I don’t think I’ve ever started a thread. I’m the same in real life probably - much better at joining in, than starting a conversation.

And on forums, I’m probably drawn to reply to posts I might disagree with, because posting an alternative view on something always seems more interesting than politely nodding in agreement.
