For all Lounge outcasts: The REAL secret to getting people to respond
is to respond to every responder. This inflates the post count and makes everyone else think that they are missing something!! :bounce: :bounce:

One time I was even able to jack the thread post count all the way up to 19!

Of the nearly 100 threads I have started since I became a posting DUer nearly 4 years ago, that was the thread that came closest to getting a flame icon. :bounce:

14. Well, now you have a good example of how to do it.

5. Agreed, but what if there are no responses at all?

It's kinda lame to kick your own stupid post all by yourself. By the way, feel free to respond frivolously to this post to promote your own thread. By all means.

17. You see how I did that?
I added another post to the thread because I was not clear in the first one. Now I've added another. Boggles the mind, doesn't it?

I'm responding is because I'm seeing if I get a response to the response in which I responded. :D

15. So if I keep responding
it will look like this is a really cool subject that other people will want to get in on. I get it. But will it make me popular here at DU? Or get me put on the ignore list because I have nothing worthwhile to say at the moment?
