What's the most successful thread you have ever started in the lounge. |
|
Mine was a thread where the posters were supposed to insult the person who posted before them. It was damn funny.
What was yours?

1. I've had a few, most recently there was the "name your High school" thread |
|
I also remember doing some Copycat thread riffing when CSTT started a thread titled "I just got taken for $400 for school books" and I did a "I just took some one for $400 on books" thread. This escalated into a bit of a Lounge Soap Opera

7. I've never started one in the lounge because |
|
I'm waiting until I hit the 1000 mark, I feel the lounge has the highest standards.
I've made a mental list of what the threads will be though:
"My daughter is a competitive cheerleader and I don't know why"
"St. Patrick was born in England, ask me anything"
"Im thinking of buying a MAC, someone stop me"
and
"Look at the bunnyrabbit my cat gutted and dragged to my doormat this morning" (photo included)

14. I did a copycat thread.. I'm Mormon... Ask Me Anything |
|
and it went for like 200 posts. It was kind of fun for the most part. I just couldn't believe a copycat post did better than my typically much more serious posts.
Since then I have out done it, but it was in GD with a 300+ thread.

Flame on.
On edit: It would be very coincidental if this was your most successful thread.

20. The thread about the Dog Bites. |
|
I asked people to guess which dogs are now the most dangerous as far as bites.....whew....it was ...really long.
And I don't even hang out in the lounge! I'm definitely a LBN lizard. But dog bites don't make it to the LBN, so it got moved here!

21. "How do you feel about posters that correct others' grammar?" |

I didn't think it was that interesting, but it turned out that people LOVE to discuss grammar! Who knew?

24. I'm not sure, but my first over 100 lounge post |
|
asked who people thought was a better guitar player than Eric Clapton. I've probably had a bigger lounge post since then, but I don't remember which was biggest.
