I would like to take a roll call of thoughts on the subject of threads. The impression is this, "What are some attributes of an useful thread"?
1. Thread must be related to the forum topic and appeal to more than one user.
2. No one liner first posts, but then again no wall of texts.
3. Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation would be appropriate.
4. It should have a discussion purpose, rather than just to whine or flame.
5. Organize the paragraphs and use the text markups to your advantage.
6. It helps if the topic is creative, funny, unique, and original.
7. Make sure that the thread has not been posted before. (No repeat topics)
8. The title should be catchy, but not to the extent of using all CAPS/symbols to draw attention.
9. Remember to keep sarcasm and moms out of the first post. (Save it for later)
10. Post the thread at a time you know some good members are online so you're guaranteed a reply.
