Looking at my profile* I noticed the option of finding all the threads that I started here on the SDMB (and posts too, but that’s another thread). Like most people, my favorite subject is myself, so I had to click on the link to see what brilliant and eruditic threads (69 in total!) I brought to the SDMB.
Ugh. Perhaps I’m not as brilliant or as eruditic as I thought.
Your least successful? The SDMB Baby Picture Thread 0, zeeeerrrrrooooo, replies. Not even one to tell me how beautiful my daughter is. Not the only one, either: the horrendously titled Author/film/etc. slogans… couldn’t generate a single reply either.
In another board that I frequent we call them Eurocoms because they’re all Communists over there. The boards’ Eurocoms have proudly taken up the banner and title, though.
If anyone wants it, “May you only live long enough to see everyone you have ever loved dragged through the streets of Calcutta by an incontinent elephant overdosing on speed” is still available as a sig …
That would probably be a 490-way tie. Lots of very forgettable posts that garnered no replies. Also some that IMHO should have gotten replies but didn’t such as this one and this one.
First: TV Commercial Question – Help! It had only one response, but I won’t consider it “least successful”, since the one response was the one I needed.
fave? Got a few, actually. From airplanes to the Bible, to weird toys, and the turning point of WWII, but one edges them all out just cause I can’t even imagine what my state of mind was when I wrote it - Spawn of Satan bread slicing people!
Most replies? I have 13 with over 100 posts, 5 of those over 200. Captain Buckleberryferry and the crew of “The Ted” -sign up here- had 473 by the time I asked for it’s closing. Predict The Next Poster! had 3379 posts (which surprised me as much as it annoyed the fuckers it annoyed )
Least successful? I have 18 with 3 or less replies, including 4 with zero.
Most embarassing? An early one. Which taught me about unintentional racial slurs - MSG - It’s not just for chinamen anymore Within that early first two month period, tho, I had two threads sent to Threadspotting. So, highs and lows can come right on top of each other, postingwise, that is.
1st: Tetris players, eat yer heart out (and damnit, I think that video AND the SMB3 one are legit. For one thing, the author has made a lot of other videos. Second, their proof was a page translated by freaking Altavista Babelfish.)
Least Successful: Did Savant ever apologize to Wiles? (GQ) I think she should, but the thread got no replies. I’ve also started a distressingly large number of threads that died with only one reply.
Favorite: Toss-up between You spineless little anal maggot (work rant), a successful and cathartic Pit Rant with a happy ending, and I found out last week I have cancer, in which I found that this place is far, far more than ‘just a message board.’ Oh, and that one had a happy ending, too (one year post-op and still no sign of recurrence).
