3. Oh honey
I don't usually start threads, as I am one of the best thread-killers on DU.
So I guess I'm not doing you any favors here.
Sorry.

6. Not if I can help it!
:kick:

(Don't be discouraged, there are a lot of us who have their threads die - this place has been hopping since the election theft!)

Belated welcome to DU :hi:

7. Oh, don't be so pessimistic!
Edited on Sat Nov-20-04 02:19 PM by RevCheesehead
Here you are with two responses so far!

And the realistic answer is: all threads die - in their own time. But that is no comment on the quality of the thread's life. ;)

on edit: make that SEVEN! That's more than many of my threads live!

10. Well, how about a reply to a reply, two birds with one stone and all that
I would have put n/t so you didn't have to look here, but it didn't fit.

17. My reply to your reply is that your thread has far exceeded...
the number of posts you probably expected.

Now, to get to a FLAME - that's a goal!

9. I wouldn't worry about it
I used to see my threads die or thought that I was the Ted Bundy of threads, but now I just let them die. There are many people here and there are some people who are just more "popular" than others and people tend to reply to those threads no matter what.
Just keep plugging away and you will get to the point where if one of your threads out of five gets a reply...you are doing well. Don't let it get ya down. :)

11. Nahh I don't cry about it
It's just kind of annoying when you think you make a point and nobody cares. I understand though. This place moves too fast.

13. I understand
I've started threads where I thought I was really saying something worth discussing, and then I see it drop like lead while threads on things such as "What toe is your favorite toe?" has 120 posts....lol.

15. When annoys me most is when I start a thread that drops like a stone
And two days later, somebody else starts a thread on the exact same topic (often linking to the same article) that gets a hundred responses.

Sometimes it just don't pay to be ahead of the curve.
