Proving that the SDMB is a community who cares, my most “successful” thread was [asking for advice](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=287509). Partialy due to me becoming violently ill and going AWOL for a few days BUT mostly because Dopers are a caring bunch that thread got 228 replies and 12,810 views. :eek: Incase anyone is still curious…we went out for a while but he was as full on as his letter suggested. We politely parted ways. I still think the letter was kinda cool though. I more then appreciate the advice and concern shown in that thread. Of course I am a bit embarrassed that was my most “successful” thread. If anyone needs a naughty maids uniform I have one going FREE…see I told you he was full on! My next most replied to thread was called “Shut the fuck up George Bush”…no surprise there 😃 ---

In it, Woody had an empty holster. That makes perfect sense, because I remember little things like guns were the first things lost on toys like that. But in TSII, Woody is brought back to "fully restored’ and still no gun, and he... but I think I can claim to have shaped it, and it was probably the most fun.

My most successful thread based on posts is [Racist Scholarships](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=24811), which is a diatribe I posted nearly five years ago against the abundance of scholarships restricted to minorities. I was 16 at the time and overused punctuation. The conversation quickly flew over my adolescent head. A close second is [Ask the Teenager II](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=66824), but it was quickly swarmed by a bunch of other teenagers, so it was more of a group effort than “my” thread. My most popular thread based on views is [Mr. Evil Breakfast is served, Pit Style](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=217954). The titular (hee hee) member (hee hee) was later banned (though not as a result of my thread), so I guess I couldn’t have been too off the mark. I had three threads with no replies, out of 110 I’ve started. Speaking of, I’ve started 110 threads in the almost-six years I’ve been here. ---
