The Unusually High Thread Counts:

[Robb]

Poll question: The Unusually High Thread Counts:

To what factor do you think we owe these recent large (200-500+!!) thread counts?

[goobergunch]

1. Trolls...

but flaming is also a cause.

12. How about flaming trolls?

[bocadem]

2. Other

I think it's really, REALLY retarded subjects.. for example:

One Word Thread (I'm guilty of starting that one)
Two Word Thread
Five Word Thread
What Kind Of Sausage Do You Like?
Thermodynamic's Star Trek Threads (I like em, but there are a lot!) ;)
RBNYC Just Ate A Bagel


etc...

3. It's the DU Lounge- the place for stupid threads.

And for some self-serving threads such as this:

I have a Ph.D., a good job, a full head of hair, and my wife is pregnant!

[goobergunch]

4. I don't mind it in the Lounge...

it's the GD flaming that gets to me. Maybe 10 days off DU will be healthy.

5. Doctor Detriot? Is that you?

9. Nope, I have been Redleg since starting at DU in 2002.

I just wonder why I don't have more posts for having been here for over a year.

13. Think the thread isn't about posters - but the threads

those ugly flaming threads in the past week or so in GD (and some in LBN) on Kobe & Rape; Gay Marriage (and the Episcopal Priest), etc.

Think you and the thread initiator may be talking about two different things.

16. 'twas a movie reference

80's Dan Ackroyd flick

14. "You don't like how I'm posting, then F*CK YOU

This is the Lounge, and I'm in it.
Dis on my posts
I'll f*ck you up in a minute
wit a right-left, right-left
you're toothless.
And then you say
Goddamn how'd he do that without dropping the vibrating pocket pussy?"




With sincere, sincere apologies to NWA.

7. My Dog Doesn't Understand Me

That's why I'm getting a cat. Cats don't give a shit.

[bocadem]

8. Purrrrfect example!

Sorry I couldn't help but pun! ;)

[jmm]

10. Other

Maybe it's just me but at old DU it was more difficult to open and read large threads. That might be why long threads aren't getting locked as often as they use to and are allowed to get very long.

[Ellen Forradalom]

11. High quality sheets

I don't sleep on threads with less than 300 count, myself.

15. You liberal elitist!
