I have checked this site out long before I started posting threads and there are certain threads that come up that seem very familiar, they are just worded differently. Out of every category on the message board from General Questions all the way down to the BBQ Pit what threads have came up the most in the past 6-12 months? Thanx in advance for your posts…I read them all. ---

I’d say in terms of total number of posts then 0.99~ = 1 is probably the most common; there are a bunch of 100+ post threads on the topic. Penis size threads too. BTW, i have been lurking for years, don’t let about 10 posts fool you 🙂 ---

I have spoken to many women who say that it does. In addition, if you read sites like [www.swingersboard.com](http://www.swingersboard.com) you will see it reported that well endowed men are often “popular” at these clubs (hey when your wife doesn’t put out you tend to read these sort of things!) ---

Some that come to mind: “Ask the [whatever]” Sequential Thread Titles “Fuck you, [doper]” “[TV show] [date]” (ex. “Survivor 4/22”) Creation vs. Evolution, “I bet that if I’m obnoxious enough, you’ll ban me. But I’ll get attention! Just watch me!” Spelling/Grammar complaints/questions ---

“Other than hungry and angry, what words end with -gry.” (Newbies posing this question, againandagainandagain, has been known to cause many a Doper’s head to explode in a rage…) And although it has died down somewhat, for awhile there, you saw a lot of posts with the letters **LOTR** in them. As a fan, I wasn’t complaining, but I have to admit, sometimes it got to the point of ridiculous. ---

Although I haven’t seen one for a while, there was a time on this board where you couldn’t go a week without seeing a thread titled: **Do electrical muscle stimulators get you buff?** They must be giving the product less infomercial time. And the answer is no, by the way. ---

And with the election coming up, we can expect a continuation of “Why Bush is bad” threads battling it out with the more recent surge of “Why Kerry is bad” threads. ---

In comments on Cecil’s column forum, easily the most common topic is about “The Whole Nine Yards”. Haven’t seen one in a while though. The newbies are falling down on the job… ---

For MPSIMS, the answer has got to be “Sequential Thread Titles” threads, which have been popping up about once per week since before Jesus walked the earth 🙂 ---

Another one we get with regularity is “where’d your username come from?” Plus the generic OP that can be paraphrased, “I know all these scientists are a lot smarter than me and stuff, but wouldn’t time travel work if \…?” ---

Is glass a liquid or a solid? Again, it has been a while since I’ve seen that one. Perhaps we should start asking if a nine-yard length of glass is a liquid or a solid? ---

Hey, **Cervaise** , don’t discourage the time travel threads! And besides, there tends to be a fair bit of variation in the \ part, so I wouldn’t class those as all the same thread. Another common GQ is the riddle about the three guys, the hotel room, and the “missing” dollar. ---
