are you shocked when you start a thread that turns out to be

[Bertha Venation]

extremely popular? (Popular meaning either flame war, near-flame war, or just lots of fun.) I am. :shrug:

[Worst Username Ever]

1. It is a rareity, so yes, I am always surprised.

Nothing like posting some sort of "what is your favortie movie" post, and not ONE person responds.

[roguevalley]

2. one of mine ended up on the front page. I almost fell over.

[LoZoccolo]

3. No, not at all.

When I post a thread, I know exactly how popular it will be: no more, no less.

How is it done? The science of marketing, of which I am a master.

Here's my card. Let me know if you have anything for which you would like to apply the science of marketing.

5. I want more hits on my cat picture threads.

What should I do? ;)

[LoZoccolo]

9. Refer to the cat as a "pussy" in the subject.

Glad I could help.

[Tweed]

6. Damn, we could use you in the Illinois Forum more often

[mr_hat]

10. Audience, offer, creative in which proportions of importance?

Thanking you in advance, Master.

[LoZoccolo]

14. 34%, 33%, 33%.

The customer always comes first.

19. Thus enlightened, I will endevour to delight.

[aden_nak]

4. No, I have an enormous ego. So I am shocked when that DOESN'T happen.

[liberalhistorian]

7. Yes, I am,

but I have to admit that I also enjoy it immensely! One of these days I'd love to see a thread of mine on the front page, but that probably won't happen in my lifetime!

[LeftCoast]

8. Well, I think it's only happened once, so yeah.

:)

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

12. Me too.

Posts With Outrageous Subjects. I wear that one as a badge of honor. :evilgrin:

[BlueJazz]

11. I'm surprised that my posts even get posted.

I keep expecting the DU program to run it through their "Shit Filters" or something. :)

[Left Is Write]

13. Yes.

[Biased Liberal Media]

15. Yes, I'm shocked and happy that I have gotten the responses

I have for the Fat Acceptance group. I didn't know if it was going to turn out well.

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

16. I've been shocked many times. I have learned the hard way how

"flammable" discussions of Iraq, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and religion are on DU. I had one thread hit 200 posts. It blew my mind.

[pres2032]

17. definitely

i started a what's your favorite civil war movie and only thought i'd get 15-20 replies MAX. it ended with 55!


i've gotten over a 100 replies yet, so i guess i'm still waiting...

[NNadir]

18. It never happened to me. I'm too boring.

[sundog]

20. I think such a phenomenon may be occuring as we speak

:7

[underpants]

21. Kick (MUST READ)

:kick:

[DrWeird]

22. I once started a thread about breasts

that got about 300 posts and everybody missed my original point.

[Worst Username Ever]

24. I once posted something about how much I like pie

I opened up the thread an hour later and there were like 50 posts completely taking it the wrong way, it was hilarious.

[BlueJazz]

27. What do you have against 3.1415 ??

[slutticus]

23. I would be if it ever happened to me..

...:cry:

[Taverner]

25. damn threadjackers!

By the way, did anyone see the Daily Show last night? :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

26. I don't know

What's it like? :shrug:

[More Than A Feeling]

28. Not really

My sole 200+ thread was an abortion post entitled "do males have little say in the abortion debate" I knew that would be popular
