What's the most successful thread you have ever started in the lounge.

Mine was a thread where the posters were supposed to insult the person who posted before them. It was damn funny.

What was yours?

1. I've had a few, most recently there was the "name your High school" thread

I also remember doing some Copycat thread riffing when CSTT started a thread titled "I just got taken for $400 for school books" and I did a "I just took some one for $400 on books" thread. This escalated into a bit of a Lounge Soap Opera

7. I've never started one in the lounge because

I'm waiting until I hit the 1000 mark, I feel the lounge has the highest standards.

I've made a mental list of what the threads will be though:

"My daughter is a competitive cheerleader and I don't know why"

"St. Patrick was born in England, ask me anything"

"Im thinking of buying a MAC, someone stop me"

and

"Look at the bunnyrabbit my cat gutted and dragged to my doormat this morning" (photo included)

Edit: I started Gannon Wrinkle #7, today. I actually have a feeling this is going to be the most successful one for me in a long time:

14. I did a copycat thread.. I'm Mormon... Ask Me Anything

and it went for like 200 posts. It was kind of fun for the most part. I just couldn't believe a copycat post did better than my typically much more serious posts.

Since then I have out done it, but it was in GD with a 300+ thread.

19. I think it was a favorite SNL skit thread about 1-2 weeks ago

Edited on Fri Mar-04-05 11:47 PM by nytemare

Flame on.

On edit: It would be very coincidental if this was your most successful thread.

20. The thread about the Dog Bites.

I asked people to guess which dogs are now the most dangerous as far as bites.....whew....it was ...really long.

And I don't even hang out in the lounge! I'm definitely a LBN lizard. But dog bites don't make it to the LBN, so it got moved here!

21. "How do you feel about posters that correct others' grammar?"

I didn't think it was that interesting, but it turned out that people LOVE to discuss grammar! Who knew?

24. I'm not sure, but my first over 100 lounge post

asked who people thought was a better guitar player than Eric Clapton. I've probably had a bigger lounge post since then, but I don't remember which was biggest.
