For all Lounge outcasts: The secret to getting people to respond
to your threads in the Lounge!

Seriously, this is it:

You gotta ask for their input on something. Ask what people think, and they go nuts for it! You know what they say about opinions.

Try it! Come up with a fairly original question, something that everyone'll have some kind of opinion on. It helps if it has something to do with pop culture, or sex, of if it's just so original that it's funny.

Now, go! Be fruitful and propogate your threads!

3. This is a lecture thread. Not usually very popular.
:(

Unless it's flamebait. Those are the most popular threads of all! :)

13. Best of all, ask them if you should break up with your boyfriend
Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 08:30 AM by End of all Hope
or some other personal question. People love feeling like experts in the affairs of others.

Refer to the first page of the Lounge and you will surely see what I mean.

19. God, that was nauseating to sort through
Edited on Sat Nov-20-04 03:50 AM by bloodyjack
"Men are liars"
"Smokers tend to be monsters"
"Smokers who happen to be men are unscrupulous fuckwits because did you know that I have the depth of character to understand every stinking facet of half the earth's population"
"Never date smokers, they have neither lungs nor a soul and incidentally I don't know anything about the nature of addiction"

o rly?

sometimes the internet disappoints me.

16. Sometimes we don't want replies, we just want to vent, but
don't want to wake the neighbors up at 2AM.
