Other than that, some references to hockey, physics, math and Canadian politics are definite bonuses.

Re: Successful thread criterion.
I think there are certain apolytoners who post in OT close to 24 hours/day. They are all friends with each other. If they like your thread, they will post in it, have arguments with each other in it (usually arguments which have nothing to do with the topic), and it will stay near the top where other less frequent posters will probably join in. But if they dont like your thread chances are good it will sink...Originally posted by Kaak
What does it take for a thread to be truly successful? Do you think there is a minimum number of posts? What about post/view ratio?
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.

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)
