Ukelele Ike is right

In My Humble Opinion
1

about the need for a catchy thread title to attract responses.

As you may recall, Ike posted this thread a while ago, entitled “The Manuscript Found in Saragossa.”

When it attracted 0 responses and few views over three hours, he posted the first reply to his own thread:

On June 17, I started this thread: Whistling up some luck? As of a few minutes ago, it had 27 views, 0 replies.

Tonight, at 8.41 p.m., I started this thread: My balls hurt just thinking 'bout this…

By 8.49, there’d already been 7 views…

So if he was right, why didn’t you include the word “tits” in THIS thread title?

Newbies . . .

:wink:

Because, for the Teeming Millions, the words “Ukulele Ike” are even more engrossing and invigorating than women’s chests.

Go figger.

I’ve been around long enough to open up any thread started by jarbabyj, hardygirl, Arden Ranger or Scylla, tits or not.

Oh, and by Ike too.

Newbies??! Swords or pistols at dawn, sir!

[grumble, grumble, grumble - been here two years - grumble, grumble, grumble - young puppy who joined back in the year '00 calls me newbie, dammit - grumble, grumble grumble]

So then the perfect thread title would be Ukulele Ike has grown tits, or something similar?

Ukulele Ike Is right yet again. He is better than tits.

To receive the most views, a title needs to have:

any words with sexual connotations
“moderator” or “mod”
the name of a well-known Doper, i.e., Ukelele Ike, Eve, jarbaby, and so forth.

Serious scientific research has shown that if any of the above criteria are met, people will view the thread.

So if your thread title is:

“According to the moderators, Ukelele Ike has grown tits”,

you’ll get a whole whompin’ ton o’ views. And, I wager, a ton o’ posts, too.

Somebody better try this.

10

Don’t even THINK about it.

Next, on Jerry Springer…

Oh come on, Ike–any publicity is good publicity.
