Forget the _most_ replies-- _least_ amount of replies is where it’s at! I’m pretty sure I’ve started a few threads that were so bad, I got docked a half-dozen or so posts for them. ---

I’m not good at doing searches but there was a “walking through doors” thread a few years ago that was huge. And hilarious. ---

I checked Werewolf a few days ago. It was the 12th most viewed thread. The most viewed was the LOTR thread at about 400,000 then Scylla’s blimp thread at about 200,000. Third was in ATMB with nearly 120,000. Top 10 Most Replied threads 1 - a - 5,337 - MPSIMS 2 - Oh, My Freaking God! (Looong!) - 3,964 MPSIMS 3 - Song Title Game - 3,914 - MPSIMS 4 - Predict The Next Poster! - 3,379 - MPSIMS 5 - Word Association Thread! - 2,989 MPSIMS 6 - All Diablo2 talk here - 2,814 - CS 7 - If LOTR had been written by someone else - 2,041 - CS 8 - Movie Game IV (son of a son of a …) - 2,010 - CS 9 - A new song title game - 1,837 - CS 10 - Contact with the Great Beyond–Psychics like Praagh - 1,779 - GQ And I bet the secret board has nothing that comes close. Not even a 100 reply thread.
