Where are most of your threads started?

I just did a breakdown of my threads. Why? Because I am bored. Anyway, it broke down to:

ATMB - 3
GQ - 13
GD - 5
CS - 47
IMHO - 26
MPSIMS - 47
Pit - 21

From this I can conclude that I am a popular culture dillitante who occasionally gets peeved about something, but generally knows how to use Google and likes shooting the shit about the inconsequential trivia that fills our lives. :eek: :smiley:

So what can we discover about you, based on your threads?

That would be “in the butt,” Bob.

I tried searching but ever since you posted your question, the Board has been slow, I suspect from people using the “Search” engine to find out. I would actually rather ask people to guess their percentages and THEN research.

Me, I’d guess

ATMB: 1%
CoCC: 0%
GQ: 14%
GD: 8%
IMHO: 10%
MPSIMS: 22%
CS: 39%
PIT: 6%

Good idea. Mine actually came out pretty close to what I would have guessed, but I wouldn’t have place my GD numbers that high. Those people scare me.

ATMB - 0
CoCC - 0
CoSR - 0
GQ - 4
GD -0
CS - 4
IMHO - 20
MPSIMS - 18
Pit -2

We could conclude that I like to ask people’s opinions on less-than-cosmic topics. Most of my IMHO threads seem to be about style, sex, or relationships. We can also conclude that sometimes I just like starting a silly little thread about something (MPSIMS), sometimes I have a question I can’t quite answer myself, wonder something about food, books, or music on occasion, and sometimes get mad enough that I feel the need to post about it. Now that I have a livejournal, though, it’s highly likely that I’ll never start another Pit thread.

Mine have had a habit of getting moved, if not locked, so doing a search on mine would only show where they ended up. That said, and going with a reasonable guess, I’d say:

MPSIMS 40%
IMHO 30%
Cafe Society 24%
GQ 5%
ATMB 1%

I’d be surprised if this guess was off by more than 5% either way on the big ones. The GQ guess may be high.

On the other hand, my replies have been more generalized, and I imagine I’ve contributed to every forum except for Staff Reports and Cecil’s stuff. I try to avoid The Pit, though.

In my mind. I’ve never started a new thread, though I have thought about it on occasion.

You can all thank me now :slight_smile:

Ok, here we go –

Pre-research guesses:

ATMB: 1%
CoCC: 0%
CoSR: 0%
GQ: 5%
GD: 0%
IMHO: 22%
MPSIMS: 50%
CS: 18%
PIT: 4%

Actual percentages:

ATMB: 1.6%
CoCC: 0%
CoSR: 0%
GQ: 4.3%
GD: 0%
IMHO: 11.8%
MPSIMS: 68.2%
CS: 10.7%
PIT: 3.2%

Actual numbers:

Total number of threads started: 186
ATMB: 3
CoCC: 0
CoSR: 0
GQ: 8
GD: 0
IMHO: 22
MPSIMS: 127
CS: 20
PIT: 6
My guesswork wasn’t too bad – I was within one percentage point for three of them (six, if you count the three 0% ones).

Basically what I learned is that I start meaningless threads a lot more often than I thought, and I already thought I started a lot of them.

ATMB: 35.7%
CoCC: 0%
CoSR: 0%
GQ: 28.6%
GD: 0%
IMHO: 0%
MPSIMS: 21.4%
CS: 7.14%
PIT: 7.14%

Mine never get beyond my own original post. But thanks for asking. It’s pointless asking where they are.
