Thread Styles

Dr. Dwayne · 22nd July 2008, 19:49

What style of thread creator are you?

I think I am in the thread hosting category of thread styles, I like to start a thread and reply to as many posts as I can to keep the thread moving along.

Others are known to start threads and end their post with a question, returning from time to time to interject as they see fit, but in no way guaranteed to post anything else of note.

There are pontificators (aka soap-boxers) and agitators among others. What other styles can you think of?

Espada

Dr. Dwayne · 22nd July 2008, 19:53

Espada does warrant a style all his own. Good one, er...101.

RedNome · 22nd July 2008, 19:56

I like to post in the Archadia Huntavina style.

I know, I know, it's way out leftfield but I like to keep the classics alive.

I'm not sure what I'm talking about here

jgraham2704 · 22nd July 2008, 19:59

I too like to keep a thread going by responding to as many posts as i can.

I guess if i start a thread its because i'm interested in the subject and i want to talk about it.

It's rare that you start any threads of late. Mind, your photography thread is a bona fide success, Did you like the pics I posted yesterday?

I know, bit lazy in the thread starting department lately.

Like the Dog Doc, is he yours?

i start deep threads that require plenty of analytcal thinking. they are thought provoking and normally right on the cutting edge of events happening that effect us all. everyone joys getting involved and normally come out of the thread a better person. id like to think my threads change peoples lives and views on important matters.

ZIDANE · 22nd July 2008, 20:28

I leave the thread starting to capable people.

Although when pushed to start a thread I do as you have done in this thread and end up having the most posts, strategically bumping it along.

Spoonatov · 22nd July 2008, 20:30

I just type out the first thing that comes into my head when making a thread.

Basically I live by a philosophy of taking so many drugs that my mind becomes totally warped, then I share my warped view of the world with everyone else..

If i'm honest up to now its not all that I expected it to be. My drug abuse seems to have just sparked a profound interest in anuses and shit!

Organised chaos. I believe if we're ever going to survive, we have to get a little crazy.

ok, I thought as much, it's just that I was under the impression that you lot referred to porn as gonzo. I was therby concerned you were taking the loss of your NSFW thread in a rather John Terry-esque fashion.

good man.

I_live_cement · 22nd July 2008, 21:16

I very rarely start a thread because I look at the ones already available and think to myself: How can I better this? Threads like 'Herpes', 'Cadbury's chocolate buttons' and the vast array of shit related discussions are a case in point.
