Poll question: Number of legitimate topics you've had on 1st page of the Lounge at once?
The top names on this are sort of predictable, aren't they? ;-)

2. Zero
As soon as they are posted they automatically sink out of site.

3. Four, maybe five...
I've had several copycats the may have been worth something, and ended up getting more replies than their original inspiration.

7. Once upon a time, these days I'm lucky to post one, maybe two threads
Edited on Fri Apr-08-05 09:40 PM by Longgrain
A day that people respond to.

8. You've had some great ones!
It is freaky how the copycat posts sometimes last longer! :-)

6. One. Two, at the most.
To be honest, when I see a bunch of dumb topics every day by the same poster on the front page, I tend to avoid* them.

It's called "attention-whoring", and it's extremely distasteful.




* "avoid" is not equal to "ignore", BTW.

12. I had four at the top of the page on the old DU in May 2003
I was getting ready for a trip to Mackinac Island that morning.

17. You bet.
It's old-fashioned. Cars are not allowed, so the three modes of transportation are bike, carriage, and foot. (Beware the horse droppings, though. :D)

The island is also known for its fudge.

19. I've never been further east than Monroe, Louisiana.
Though I've been west to Alaska, Japan, Guam, and VietNam. I'd love to explore the eastern United States and will if I live long enough.

13. I don't think I've ever had more than two. If I did, it's because
someone kicked an old thread. I don't usually post more than one or two threads a day.

It just seems like I'm here more than that :silly:

15. You must have a laptop in your car, Dear.
I'm retired and have a window open in here at most times, but I think you're here more often than I am! :)

16. Not really - I do a lot of fly bys throughout the day.
I work and then peek and work and peek. This morning, I'm ironing, listening to progmom's radio show and doing fly bys.

18. Ironing? I haven't heard that term in yours.
It does make the clothes look nice.
