prolly sex.

― hstencil, Thursday, 20 March 2003 23:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I must not be hip...is that when you have sex w/members of the proletariat?

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 20 March 2003 23:20 (twenty-three years ago)

The most: conversations about rock-crits, and rock-crit in general. And list threads.

shit i really meant ile

ILE? Threads started by regulars on sensitive RL topics which end up turning everybody but Ally and Ned into trolls despite their best efforts.

I feel like I'm some sort of guardian of the temple spirit now.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 March 2003 00:59 (twenty-three years ago)

you didn't before?

― Millar (Millar), Friday, 21 March 2003 01:02 (twenty-three years ago)

Anything with the potential for absurdism, because that has the power to bring all of us together.

I changed it to ILE, I hope you don't mind!

The answer is:

What do you look like, what are you listening to, and what are you reading?

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 21 March 2003 09:50 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't mind at all Jel, thank you.

― Andrew L (Andrew L), Friday, 21 March 2003 09:50 (twenty-three years ago)

evidently, talkin' 'bout Xgau or dicks or bras 'll bring on the fastest avalanche o'posts

Anything that brings in offence - racism, sexism, shouting out of car windows - seems to be pretty productive.

I've not found very esoteric arty ones very successful, and I know Anthony has said the same.

Directly confronting a personal pet peeve that translates to a universal concept works, too ("Can we stone the next person who accuses a band of selling out?"). Also, threads where people can show off ("MUSIC LYRICS ONLY PLEASE").

Anything about the NYC ILx crew seems to get a disproportionate amount of posts from people who never have even met us.

― Ally (mlescaut), Saturday, 22 March 2003 00:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd say relationships (whether intimate or friendships).

as for current events: well you can get multiple threads with 200+ posts (see war on iraq and so on).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 22 March 2003 21:35 (twenty-three years ago)

fooooooooooooooooood gets loads of answers, ally that's cos outside of NYC we simply wait for stuff to happen in NYC.

― Ronan (Ronan), Saturday, 22 March 2003 22:07 (twenty-three years ago)

You should come here Ronan, then we will show you how boring it really is.

― Ally (mlescaut), Sunday, 23 March 2003 02:13 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't mind the 'the NYC ILx crew'.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 23 March 2003 02:17 (twenty-three years ago)

oi! o'course -- the pissing-in-the-head theme and its numerous alcoholi-variations are awesomely popular round here too, i've noticed

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Sunday, 23 March 2003 13:47 (twenty-three years ago)

you didn't before?

But now I know!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 23 March 2003 15:26 (twenty-three years ago)

you never know, someday maybe I can experience that boredom.

― Ronan (Ronan), Sunday, 23 March 2003 17:36 (twenty-three years ago)

three years pass...

There should be, like, you know, a scientific answer to this question.

― Aimless, Saturday, 17 March 2007 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

It's probably something utterly banal and everyday that everyone nevertheless has a strong opinion on, like that 'correct way to do the washing up' thread, or 'Another Thing Coming vs Another Think Coming'.

― Matt DC, Sunday, 18 March 2007 12:36 (nineteen years ago)

Some seemingly ridiculous non-starters like Numlock! (started as a joke, not expected to get any responses) get lots of silly responses at first and then die out, while other threads keep going slow and steady and never die altogether (siblings).

― Maria :D, Sunday, 18 March 2007 12:47 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, banality coz like everyone has an opinion on banality.

― jel --, Sunday, 18 March 2007 13:21 (nineteen years ago)

Racism
Sexism
Religion
Grammar
Bicycle Riders in Cities
Louis Jagger

― jessie monster, Sunday, 18 March 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

I would only just about contribute to grammar threads to be honest.
