A search shows I only had one thread I created with zero replies. I tend to start a lot of single-digit threads though. The last was a thread a week ago about the Dakar rally, checking to see if any Dopers were watching. As I suspected, nobody is. That one got three replies, one of which was me replying to someone else. ---

This is a really sweet little picture, and I’m surprised it hasn’t been getting a lot more attention. The premise seems a little trite, but its execution is effing brilliant.

It’s not worth bothering the hamsters to find it, but I posted about the event at the Hollywood Bowl this past summer to celebrate Stephen Sondheim’s 75th birthday. I was really excited because I got to sing for about 17,000 people, and then meet Jason Alexander, among others. Apparently, I was the only Doper there. ---

A couple of years ago, I started an MPSIMS thread contemplating the **end** of my summer. In hindsight, it was clearly livejournal material rather than SDMB material. It got no replies, despite the parenthetical in the title asking people to “please humor me”. Not sure what the view count was. ---

I’ve got one with 0 replies, and only 5 views. Three of those views I know are mine. I’ve started 3 other threads that have 0 replies. They have a few more views than the first one I mentioned. 29 of the 45 threads I’ve started have less than 10 replies. Of course, starting [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=250465) monster makes up for all that. 🙂 ---

1. You are entitled to one bump, to bring it back to the top of page one. 2. You said you wanted no contact for a week; we were just being polite. ---

I’vew started three threads that received no replies. All of them were in GQ, and were computer-repated questions. I just figured that no-one who knew the answer happened to be on the Boards on those days. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-planted-a-really-large-bomb-at-the-sdmb/338993.md?page=1)
