What dopers want (with answers!)
I am bored at 1a.m., so I looked at all the threads I have started and which ones have over 1,000 views. Here they are, a revealing portrait of what dopers want and also a glimpse into the psyche of FlippyFly.

Sex wins by a long shot! No real surprise there, I guess. Interestingly, it seems like there is a huge glass wall between 1,000 and 2,000. Huh. Also, for the record, I would like to point out that the dopers have selected just about any thread I started with a sexual theme… while sexual themed threads may be almost 25% of my top 13 list, they are not 25% of my threads started. You all be the pervs, not good 'ol FlippyFly. 😉

I’m tempted to send this to MPSIMS – because it’s really more of a MPSIMS-y kind of musing, though it IS About This Message Board.
Lemme check with a MPSIMS mod.

What the heck, I got the big button, I can move it myself.
(MPSIMS may move it back. Let’s see.)

Well, if this doesn’t classify as ‘mundane, pointless stuff I must share’ then I don’t know what does.

Wouldn’t it be amusing to watch MPSIMS and ATMB ping-pong this thread back and forth?
Yes, I _am_ easily amused. 😃

Speaking as a liberal atheist vivisectionist isolationist, I think you and your right wing conspiracy of fellow traveling embedded journalists are just trying to cause trouble!

FlippyFly, I have to say I’m jealous. Of the 19 threads I’ve started, only 1 has gotten beyond that 1000-views level, and only just. It was about Shrodinger’s cat.

Ah, but it took my 148 threads to get here. That is a 1000+ view rate of 8.8%.
