Re: What Attracts You To A Thread On A Forum?

Half the enjoyment i get is from never knowing what thread will provide interest, or amusement.

Re: What Attracts You To A Thread On A Forum?

Hi

First and foremost for me is the poster.

If it is Artangel or Mups it is bound to be harmless, madcap and hilarious fun.

If it is Flicker, I am also attracted, just as funny, but in a different way.

Endless opportunities to produce a few facts to state the obvious.

I am drawn like a moth to a candle to Islamic Threads.

The rantings of a few who have absolutely no idea at all what they talking about, the delusional, on both sides, those who condemn them all and those who think that none of them can do any harm.

An example very recently.

The idiot with the knives in his bag arrested near Westminster.

Arrested and stopped in his tracks because of information from his family.

A very difficult decision to report your own kids.

The second lot, the big one, loads of arrests, still ongoing.

Muslim Enforcement Officers played a big part in that, in protecting us, at risk to themselves.

They are the ones who can infiltrate the Radicals, get into the Mosques.

We owe them a lot, yet we have those who would condemn them all for being Muslim and on the other side, we have those who would blame us for not understanding their Culture and failing to integrate them.

A Plague on both of them.

I suppose , like Longdogs, all of your suggestions make threads attractive but I would like to add my own little reason....... I enjoy learning more about members personalities, from their comments & opinions.
Azz had posted more recently.... so I am currently psycho analyzing him.
That is my opinion also, bit late giving it I know, but was away when it was first posted.

You're just inquisitive and like to participate in all threads?
Knowing your post will make a difference?
Something else?
I post on a thread because it interests me, most of the time I don't even notice who has posted it. I like to have my say, it doesn't bother me if people see it my way, or not.

I'm of similar mind and I hardly ever notice whose thread it belongs to, nor the poster.

Re: What Attracts You To A Thread On A Forum?

Threads on current affairs as it's always interesting to see other people's points of view, even though I usually don't agree with them! I'm really interested in anything that touches on history as forums are a good place to learn new aspects of historic events. So anything that stimulates reading up and researching interesting stuff. Would just be nice if people didn't get so personal about a different point of view though. No point talking about something if we all agree or you may as well talk to yourself.

Discussing different approaches to health is good too.

Love the photo threads. Some real talent here.

Re: What Attracts You To A Thread On A Forum?

One with a shit title, like most on this site. Titles like, "Who", "Is it Really",
"Would You Believe It", "Where Am I",

And then when you go into the body of the o/p it's about turnips or something equally uninteresting.

Crazy man!

I really cannot why you bother to visit then, if "most on this site" are nothing "but uninteresting sh*t".
I certainly wouldn't bother if I felt like that.

Could it be anything to do with your introduction saying you have been banned from just about everywhere else, by any chance?

Well fancy that, can hardly believe it.
