Dud threads
Does anyone else here feel really stupid when they start a thread and no one replies to it? I have posted a lot of threads lately when I think "this is a good one, a lot of people will reply to this." Then I check back, and nothing! Then I see other threads where I think "That one won't get that many replies." Next thing I know, it has the little red envelope! Grr! I wish I had good threads. Watch this one turn into another dud. That would be irony at it's best.

Re: Dud threads
Well, at least you'll get one reply!  Don't feel bad, we all start dud threads now and then. At least you're not a thread-killer, right? 
Here, I'll sprinkle some Angel Sparkles on this thread:

Re: Dud threads
The first time that happened for me...I kinda chuckled to myself as I watched the thread slip further and further away without a single response or view.
Oh well...what are ya gonna' do?
It reminded me of a dandelion seed blowing away into oblivion.

Awww thanks guys, now I don't feel so bad. I was starting to feel like a failure as a thread starter.

Re: Dud threads
I have had some slow thread, but I do not think I have had any zero response threads.

Re: Dud threads
I know how you feel; I've never had a red envelope. I also feel stupid when I'm a thread killer.

Re: Dud threads
At least all of you know HOW to start a thread, I have been on here for a few months and haven't even figured out how to yet  I'm usually doing good to know how to respond to them, and how to use these smilies

At the top of each forum, on the left, there is an icon that says "New Thread". Just click on it.

Re: Dud threads
Happens to me too! What I hate even worse is when I'm like..the last person to post in the thread (and the thread still has unanswered questions)

Re: Dud threads
Yeah me too. I've started lots of duds. I think I just killed a thread the other day and I feel bad becuase my last post was a rant. Really ran em off I guess.
Misery loves company so maybe we could start a Dud Club or something. See how many mundane posts we can make before the mods get bored silly and close us down.
