Haven’t got much time to post this.

It strikes me that the vast majority of threads on these boards have narrow appeal (they are relevant to a small number of people)

But just recently there have been a few with a wide appeal.

My votes go to ‘why do men want to be batman’ (appeals to most men)

‘Have you ever been obsessed’

‘Predict the next poster’ (technically this aplies to everyone capable of posting here, i.e. everyone)

‘If you could redo your life, what would you do differently?’ (who _doesn’t_ want to go back anddo something differently)  
ran out of time.

Bye.

Often threads titled with **lesbians** , **dildos** , or **lesbians with dildos** are quite popular.

Also, anything where anyone can just post something. Eg. consecutive number thread, ‘post your X anecdotes here’, ‘put a grammatical error in every post’

The best thread ever was the pizza in a blender thread, which I cannot find anywhere (it’s listed in threadspotting, but the link doesn’t opn it). It was the reason I joined the board, and it was one of the funniest, most interesting thing I had ever read.
