Need advice - why does my thread keep sinking?

[RememberTheCoup]

I've been trying to keep this thread kicked in GD Campaign 2004, but it keeps sinking. It's hard for me to imagine that people just aren't interested in the topic. I wonder if I just chose a bad thread title? Or maybe the original post was too long? Maybe it's even the fact that I posted using plain text (to align columns). If you all think it's the topic itself that people are not interested in, I'll just let the thread sink. If you think it's the thread title or something else, please suggest improvements. Thanks!

2. Change your title to "Nude Christians Against Hitler Endorse Kerry"

4. I guess that's one possibility.

LOL! :)

Seriously, I usually like to keep my thread titles as descriptive as possible. It was hard for me to even add the caps to part of that title and the single ! at the end. Maybe I should have titled it: ADD YOUR ELECTORAL COLLEGE PREDICTIONS HERE :shrug:

3. GD04 is a busy forum

There is a lot going on there and threads sink fairly quick. I would kick it here and there and don't feel like no one really cares about it, it's just that a lot of things are being posted.

5. Problems I see: lots of info, not enough white space, and...

...the ultimate problem -- PEAD.

YES, we all have Pre Election Attention Deficit.

So, we can't read all that.

I also agree that you need a snappy headline and you need to ask a really open-ended FUN question right now, because as I said above --

WE ALL HAVE PEAD.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Kerry On!
