Lookism on the internet.

Actually it's not lame, to me anyway.
No I don't read 'em all, some I scan for unfamiliar names(posting) and check them out. Parenting doesn't hold much interest, nor a couple others.

But the point of what ingredients does a thread need to take off for pages, is very interesting.
For me, certain people starting a thread attracts like honey attracts a bear. The thing is, it isn't always for the same reason. Some it's because I'm almost guaranteed, I'll disagree with them. Some because I usually learn things from them. Some to see what kind of shit they're stirring. And I don't go near tw's unless I've got some time to kill.

I think a title that clearly indicates the subject but still peaks curiosity keeps people from leaving disappointed.
Polls can go either way depending if there is an option that agrees closely with my position.
Probably subjects your discussing outside the Cellar, like current events, and you want more opinions would look interesting.

But these are all personal points and flat out guesses, because I really don't know what make a thread take off. As often as not the thread keeps going because of thread drift rather than the opening post, I guess.

Oh, any something suggesting sex, like a double entendre in the title, probably helps get it read at least.

I'd love to have some input as to what you think the recipe is for an enticing thread. Please.

wow, thanks for the imput! Now I know what you find pleasing!



Well these days I am all about the flowers or picture blogs. I love philosophy. I am not very clear headed these days so I fail at my attempt at clarity. Or maybe I just noticed :P I used to like Christianity and political debates but my stance on those hasn't changed since way back so I just usually read them now.

I love threads about who someone thinks is the greatest drummer, guitarist or the best love ballad. I love when threads diss those top 100 guitarist lists. I love horoscopes, mythology, books,movies,paganism,witchcraft,and art. I think the women here are great. I think Brianna is smart and I love reading her threads. I like Maggie's way of spicy responding. I love Sundae Girls good hearded humor. I like DanaC she is a good political thread responder. I like alot of the other women here. They seem to attract my attention when they are in a thread whatever the thread is about.

As far as men go I like RK for his pictures and willingness to debate. I like when guys posts photos. ( I don't know why)
The political threads I tend to gloss over. I like looking at the quotes,tag lines,jokes and wtf photo page.

I mostly like to read others having a real intellectual debate. That's what my initial attraction was to this place.
