- Threads locked by a mod (everyone’s curious as to what happened)

- Threads mentioning oral/anal sex or vaginas

- Threads with the f word

- Threads mentioning SUVs

- Threads mercilessy pitting another Doper

Any more? This could be a good guide for people who want to get lots of replies!

I think just about any thread that has to do with sex (including threads with “porn” in the title) will surely get lots of views. We’re also quite a scatalogical lot around here as threads relating to pee, poop and farts will also get lots of views.

A thread with a vague title (e.g. “Anyone else have this problem?”) will get a lot of hits mainly because people will have to open it to see what it’s even about.

Maybe, like this one…judging by the phrasing of the thread subject.

I should add that I mean a high number of view, but not necessarliy a high number of replies.

Good examples so far, and I will add:

- Threads with the words “What if” and “LotR” 🙂

- Threads with the word “game” in the subject

- Threads with the phrase “I’m so lonely” or “I can’t get a girlfriend” 🙂

- Threads along the lines of “What does xxx look like in your mind?”

Ask a mod to replace the word “threads” in your OP with “tits”, and watch what happens.

Mods: Please could you change the title of this thread to:

“Big bouncy boobies guaranteed to get a high number of views”

I really think this reflects the subject matter much more accurately.

Good tip, EVO. 🙂

Just thought I would add that when I came across this thread, the one directly over it was “Should I have a 3some?”  
Hehehehhe… irony at it’s best.
