Taking a look at the top members list, all of them are popular, and only popular because of the time and effort they spend creating content on these boards. That doesn't mean they are all liked however.
~TenthAs an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
It seems like a crap shoot to me, although I can't say I have a huge number of authored threads. My top four threads I didn't really expect to get much of a response, they were just ideas or questions I had and threw them out there.

I will not mention names, but you can be "popular" for how many people dislike you also..

you want a popular thread , you need several key ingrediends
1 - the title should be dishonest , or innacurate
2 lies - you need at least one claim that is a bare faced lie in the first paragraph
3 sources - NEVER use credible sources - use know loons , hoaxers or just dont give any
4 logic should be avoided at all costs -
5 follow up posts should contradict your OP
