Other than that, some references to hockey, physics, math and Canadian politics are definite bonuses.
Pictures of cute kitties is a bonus for me."I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

It seems successful threads have roughly 12% or more posts in relation to views. I think as that goes up, particularly in threads over 150 posts long, the thread is more successful.
thoughts?

No thread can be considerd truly successful unless its locked by MarkG himself.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

100 + posts is a very successful thread. I remember when I got my first one.. Though I don't remember what the thread was about. oh well.
20 + posts is a successful thread I guess. Maybe 30.
But some threads don't need that many posts. It could be just to ask a simple question. Most long threads are spam anyways.

I still contend that it has as much to do with the post/view ratio as the length..."Mal nommer les choses, c'est accroître le malheur du monde" - Camus (thanks Davout)
