Why do some members never....

[Zippy]

create threads?

I've always wondered why some members(Stacey, Gypsygoth to name, er, two) never, or rarely, create new threads.

Is there any reason for this? Surely you must occasionally get the urge? It's not like they need to have any great substance(look at mine....actually, look at thebeasts instead. :joker:).

So what stops members from creating new threads? And to broaden the conversation....

do those who start new threads ever worry about how many replies theyll get? Or do you not care?

*worries about getting any responses*

[Ramsay]

meh i never really have anything thread worthy to discuss :laugh:

[Niall]

I think some people worry about creating a thread for the sake of it? Or most of us maybe just can't think of anything worth making a new thread for lol? :laugh:

[InOne]

I'm totally impulsive when it comes to threads. Something pops in my and I just make it

[Stephanie]

i create threads all the time, just random stuff :L

[Niamh.]

I used rarely create threads incase they were sh1te and no one would reply but I decided that I should make an effort and have been threading(?) more lately

Thats the same as me Niamh, i've been a member of this forum for a few years now, & i only recently started make threads on the non BB section.

[Stacey.]

I never know what to make them on :'(

and they've been productive too, you got a new section made!:hugesmile:

[seanraff07]

Normally if i'm bored an a topic springs into my mind then i'll start a thread about it, and yeah i kinda do worry about the amount of replies i'll get tbh.:joker:

[Zippy]

I think you have a fear. I don't mean you shake uncontrollably at the thought but that you worry about anybody responding.

Im gonna give you some hypnotherapy....

stare at this bitches eyes and chant 10 times "I WILL START A THREAD TOMORROW....I WILL START A THREAD TOMORROW" etc

[GypsyGoth]

I think about making them.

I'll try and do at least one a week :)

[Ramsay]

OHMYGAAWWWDD

[Jords]

I make them if anything comes to mind. :p
Not a massive thread maker though. Although I was during BB.

well I never see them start threads and I think they are mostly older threads. So its more interesting(ahem) that they once did but now do not.

Anyways, its not just about them! :tongue:

Yeah I know the word you wanted to use is on the banned list.

I know what you mean though, some people just dont like starting threads in case they get the piss ripped out of them or no one bothers to respond to it. Fear of failure and embarassment is a big barrier.

I suppose some dont like stepping forward for a myriad of other reasons.

Saying that though, this thread could well become the cause of a hundred thousand threads of sh1te

I know.. it's disgusting. Stacey and GypsyGoth ought to be ashamed of themselves! Joke!!

I know.. I love it when it's dead.. and you create a thread.. could be a bit of a pointless one but nice when someone posts in it :)

I suppose members who don't create threads already contribute to the forum anyway. But yeah.. the more threads the merrier!

Lol aww I like Steph's coffee threads. Meh.. the amount of threads and how constructive/pointless they are is subjective.

There is nothing worse than a forum being dead though!
