I’m new here and want to start something interesting but I’m stuck on coming up with an interesting topic. What do you suggest?
Sex is always popular, especially if there are pictures 
It depends what you want.
You can post something controversial … and get into an animated discussion.
You can post something sweet … and get smushy responses.
You can post something silly … and be ignored.
You can post something wrong … and be corrected.
You can post something you want to know … and find out what we know.
Why not join in a few threads first, until you get the hang of it?
What are you, new here?
How about an intro. thread? You can get the welcome wagon committee. If you decide to start one, I’d like to know why your join date is in August 2006, but you’re “new here.”
Oh, and since I’m not on the committee, I’ll welcome you on my own. Welcome to The Dope. . . .except you’ve been here longer than me. :dubious:
How about: “How old were you when you learned to ride a two-wheeled bicycle?”
For me, I was 13 years old!
Didn’t we already cover this in a previous thread, you and I? 
As that was silly, I’m going to ignore it.
What?
Actually your location suggests that you live in the “state” of Delaware. A recurring theme on this board is debating whether or not Delaware actually exists. Lots of people like myself have come down strongly in the political fiction camp. However, most of us try to keep an open scientific mind so if you have new evidence that Delaware exists as a real, normally functioning state, there are plenty of us that would like to hear it.
You could use this forum. The thread could be titled:
“Ask the Person that Claims to be from Delaware”.
We haven’t really had anyone to do that thread before for obvious reasons. Here is some background material.

Yeah, but I wanna hear it again. 
You tell it so well.
I think the last one was that he decided to pay a long time after he started his trial period. In this case, he might have paid since August 2006 and just not posted since then. Since, I think, the posts get carried over from the trial, he seems not to have posted much even in the 30 day trial.
So what’s the deal, Redfrost?
Bah! Get off my lawn!
WIN FREE SEX!
with all credit to john Varley… the best thread should be something that everyone is interested in. and will have an opinion personal enough and important enough to feel that they too should post

Cat pics?
(Okay okay, not so much interesting, as much as popular)
But not cat videos. Apparently you (or at least I) can’t give them away. That thread sank like stone with an anchor attached to it.
Let’s see. I was reluctant to do the whole "Long time lurker, first time poster after seeing the thread in the pit about this only being a message board or whatever. (Still learning the in’s n out’s, which is why I didn’t link to the post). I think I will start a thread about being someone who “Claims to be from the State of Delaware”.
How about: ** What would be an interesting topic for a thread?**
That might work.
Anything disgusting, especially if in involves substances squirting, popping, or otherwise being ejected from your body is a good place to start. A popular thread right now involve folks with bad aim while sitting on the toilet and peed on their pants. Crap your pants lately? Pop a giant pimple? Barf someplace unusual? You will find others here just like yourself and they will gladly share their story with you.
Gee, I had a beauty I was going to give you!
But now you’ve gone off on this whole Delaware tangent, well, I don’t think I will. :dubious:
But, just so you know, it was a great one!
Too meta.
Oooooh. You wanted to start a thread a walk away with your reputation intact? Then I wouldn’t use Shagnasty’s suggestion. Could be TMI.
Just kidding. Great job on your new thread.
