See what I mean...a one liner...humorous as it was...and my thread is gone!

What the hell am I doing wrong?

Is interation a word...seems to be I guess...although I cant find it anywhere in the english language!

Hahaha I understand that

I think some times it's not so much the thread content or the author, but the time it's posted. I didn't see your thread list in the new topics, so may have missed it - or there were a number of "Oh look a ufo!! yes those three dots ARE ufo's!!!" threads which tend to push things off the edge.

I'm not sure how the time stamps work here, if it's listing my time or the authors time, but yours says 6:38pm, which - if it's local time here - means it's like the opposite side of the clock most other places where interest here takes off.

But it does look like an interesting read! I'll go and have a proper look, but not being in the US, I don't really hold a lot of interest in the elections, we've got this red haired beagle here that seems intent on being the first this and that but inevitably will fall along the wayside like Hawke did, only to be remembered for the pint of beer he can skoll! (reminds me of the joke, worked about 25 years ago - the biggest aviary in the world, is in canberra.. there's a hawke, a peacock and a bunch of galahs!)

I will make a prediction that this thread will die too



Just kidding mate.

Well of course it will...that is not much of a prediction!

History of dying threads...no real mystery there!

"I don't know why; it’s a perfectly cromulent word."

Its the topic that is most important; find one that many are interested in and im sure discussion will ensue. Besides, you only linked four threads and I can assure you plenty of other threads havnt gotten any traffic either. Just keep posting and you'll have a front-pager eventually. Example: Every youtube vid does not receive 500000+ views.

People like to read stuff from well known members with a lot of different topics already posted. Well, at least I do lol.

God your killing me...at least I am getting a decent laugh out of this...I was worried for a minute that I had the poster plague...a little laugh...and I am human again!

I think I will save your post for future postings...with you permission of course...it was awesome!

Haha By all means, and I'm glad I helped cheer you up a bit. That makes my day feel a bit better as well.

poster plague is a figment of the imagination I believe. But then, I have only left 1 or 2 threads, with all of 1 or 2 replies.

hang on...

Sadly, I am not a cunning one...

Ooh that's a bad joke, I shall go flagellate myself post haste!

perhaps people died of boredom...
u need one of the three ingredients.. provocation, humour, speculation
