Who here has never written a thread nominated for Greatest Page??
Edited on Wed Jun-01-05 07:28 PM by SmileyBoy
I'm pretty sure that none of my threads has ever received a single vote.

How about you??

2. Me too
But then again, I've never started a thread. I just don't know what would get a good thread going and so I just don't start any.

3. One.
Well two have been on the greatest page, but one was a complete joke. I was saying my goal was to one day get on the greatest page, and the Lounge Lizards nominated it and put me there. Silly Lounge Lizards.

But I have had one legit thread on there. :D

4. I'm not sure, but
I don't think any of mine have. But I can't honestly think of any that deserved to be either...

5. LOL, once during some time of extreme angst....
maybe it was when the Pope died, I posted the lyrics to John Lennon's song "Imagine". It ended up on the Greatest Page.

Guess it was the right thing at the right time.

8. Wow I Must Be Loved. I Have Them Fairly Regularly.
Edited on Wed Jun-01-05 07:35 PM by DistressedAmerican
Had two in the top five on Saturday. It is always gratifying.

Nominating so that you will have at least received a single vote!

13. I Do Think The Shotgun Approach Has Its Merits!
Way more sink than hit. It is rarely the ones that I expect either. I try!

9. I hardly ever drum up *replies*, let alone nominations for greatest.
I've never written anything of any sort of substance worthy of the Greatest Page anyway.

41. I have been fooling around on the internet for years.
I can count the number of times I've been flamed on one hand.

10. I don't start enough threads really
And the ones I do usually sink pretty fast.

So no greatest page appearances for me.

15. I did receive a SINGLE nomination once, for a thread I wrote
concerning red states and church.

Just good to know it was appreciated by so many, even if it never made it.

Yeah, that's the ticket. It's just good to be nominated. No, really, it is!

No, I really, REELLY MEAN IT. CAN I UNCLENCH MY JAW NOW???

20. When I started a serious thread noone even replied.
Edited on Wed Jun-01-05 07:43 PM by xmas74
When I started posting in the Lounge on the graveyard shift I got quite a few nominated.
So now I just stay silly.

(edited to add nominated. Everyone should be on the front just once).

Only time any of mine have gotten so much as a single vote.

30. I was thinking that, naaaah, I've never had one on the Greatest Page.
When I suddenly remembered that I HAD! Unfortunately, it was the thread on Nostamj's death...and that one would have ended up on the Greatest Page, no matter who had done it...The info came to me, and so I posted it. It all seems so long ago, but it really wasn't. I would have preferred NEVER getting on the Greatest Page to still have Jeff here with us...

34. Once, but that was when you only needed two votes
to get there. I got...... two votes. But I was completely thrilled anyway :) Most of my threads sink like a stone. I am usually thrilled to get more than two replies.

40. I was going to say me
but decided to go and check first. I found one that had made it!

What a nice surprise. As seldom as a start threads I really didn't expect that. :D

42. I've actually had a few get on the greatest page
It's very gratifying when it happens, especially since the ones that do get there took a lot of time and effort. Typically they've been something that percolated around in my mind for about a week and then took a few more days to organize my thoughts and write it.
