This looked pretty lonely without anyone else replying to you. I hate for anyone to feel left out. ---

Brunetter, humor him not. He posted the same thread, and same lame observation three days ago. ---

Not that I haven’t slipped myself on a couple of occasions Socks on Shoes on, but language like that, if you must, belongs in the pit and not in mpsims. ---

Your’re exactly right. I was quoting what Chiefscott said to me before in the MPSIMS, sort of taste of your own medicine. kellibelli- Quite so. Corrected Thing I Must Say: None of these questions/and or Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share seem to stay long. That’s the Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share, that the questions seem to drift away before they get noticed. On the other forums, they stay for a couple of days even if no one replies. That makes for a better dialog. Here, if you post at morning about something and come back after work to see if anyone answered, the thread is long gone. ---

If you want a thread to survive (without bumping it yourself), two important things, a snappy title which intrigues and an irresistable question. Of course that’s easier said than done, witness any of my plummeting threads. ---

No thread survives long without a fight in MPSIMS, it’s survival of the fittest. ---

Just FYI, Socks, but starting new threads every couple days complaining about topics not staying for very long is just going to push more topics off the first page. ---

If you want it to stay, bookmark it. Then bring it back now and then like I do with Survivor. ---
