Oh! I rarely participate in them, but threads that allow posters to feel morally superior to someone are always a hit. News stories that prompt lots of disbeliefs and "what is the world coming to?"s are usually successful.
It's what you make it.

Depends on if "non-boring" means "interesting topic and discussion" or "lots of posts", though...There are some really good topics of discussion in the Non-Prince music forum and even in the P&R (on occasion lol). To me, the intersting topics in the GD forum tend to be ones where you're either asked to think about some aspect of your life and yourself, or ones that invite some really good humorous responses. Those are the types I try and create when I do create threads...whether or not anyone else finds them "non-boring", though, I don't know lol...

As for popular, these types of threads will always be popular:

- Photowhore threads. Everyone likes to show off, and everyone likes to look for the photos of Orgers who they might consider attractive.

- Questionnaire threads. Ask people to talk about themselves in an easy-to-digest format, and everyone will respond lol...

- Imago threads. He's popular, and most of us will click on his threads because we want to see what he's saying this time lol nod...

- Sex threads. Ask anything about sex, anything at all, and people will flock to it. Men usually to talk about how good they are in bed, and women usually to talk about how rare it is to find a man who's good in bed lol...

And it wouldn't surprise me at all if the very ones who don't flock to this thread are the ones who may have a lot to offer. I dunno shrug

Sure, some people just prefer to keep their sex lives private, and honestly that's the best way. I cannot speak for everybody.

what makes some appear to be "popular" is dedication by the O.P. to come back every 5 minutes and respond to every single comment that is made, therefore causing the inane chatter to keep going.

nod

I would disagree with "most of us."
