Why do threads I post in die?

[champbassist]

Okay, I've been a member here for 7 years (8 in April) - have posted regularly for more than 5.

Since the very beginning, I've seen this happen to probably around half of the threads I post in - nobody posts in these threads anymore. They die. Dead. Kaput. Eternal Slumber.

Possible reasons -

i) I'm some sort of TB Grim Reaper

ii) I post in topics in which interest is decidedly ephemeral or my posts murder the interest

iii) Happens to quite a few users.

Help

NB: I'm never ragequitting. I don't care if I end up killing each TB thread, but I will never leave. Never.

Did you say something?

^^ This thread would have been funnier if nobody replied, given the nature of the subject. ^^

In any case, I recall having a very long stretch of posting and seemingly killing threads.

LOL, I thought so too, but I couldn't help myself.

To the OP, don't take it personally. In fact, don't take much of anything that happens to you in this world personally. I've recently tried soliciting opinions on various pedals, and have gotten no replies. I simply chalk it up to.
1) No one has read the thread yet.
2) No one has read the thread yet that has personal experience with my questions.

You know what, this really doesn't happen all that often with threads which I start - it's happened 3 times in 86 threads that I've started.

It certainly didn't happen on this thread!

I, too, was once a thread killer...but then I became funnier, cleverer, more charming, and quite frankly, better looking, and as a result, I no longer have that problem!




(PLEASE don't let this be the last post in this thread!)

Yeah , I feel like I've murdered a couple of threads in my time too
(<-- Runs out into the blizzard screaming "IT'S ALL MY FAULT)
Oh wow... it's cold out here.
(<--Runs back into the house and sits back down.)
O K , I'm over it. Carry on.

It'll be a type of "hot potato", where nobody wants to have the last comment.

 

[JMacBass65]

Maybe nobody likes you?

 

[MGR]

I like him!

Happens to me as well.

It's happened to me.

I have concluded that any such posts of mine must be singularly complete, perfectly distilling all information that could possibly be relevant to the thread into a pure statement of truth which cannot be added to, improved, debated, or disproved.

That's my story...

Do you feel better now?

[slobake]

I have thought that sometimes about my posts as well. I think it is just a coincidence and I am overestimating my nuisance value

 

[champbassist]

Hahaha! Great one. Now excuse me while I go and return some videotapes.

I've suspected this for some time now that a certain percentage of the human race has evolved and now has telepathic powers and no longer has need of the printed or spoken word to communicate. I would sight the decline of the use of turn signals by some drivers as an example. Mind you, this is just a theory on my part and in no way intend to elude to any sort of conspiracy real or imagined. The truth is out there.
